The Trinnov Amethyst preamplifier DAC and DSP processor would have to be one of the most significant products that I have come across in a very long time. We would all like to have the perfect listening environment, however, this is rarely the case! Most of us make do with traditional lounge rooms, converted bedrooms, garages to name a few. The Amethyst has the ability to listen to your room using a very special microphone and adjust the sound output digitally to ensure the best listening results, you can also make calibrations for off-axis listening positions and adjust the way your speakers sound in the room to tailor the sound specifically to your liking.
