First Watt SIT 2
Brand: First watt
The First Watt SIT 2 (Signet Integrated Technology 2) is a high-performance, Class A integrated amplifier designed by world-renowned Audio Designer, Nelson Pass. The SIT 2 is a direct successor to the popular SIT 1 and features several upgrades, making it an even more exceptional amplifier.One of the key differences between the SIT 1 and SIT 2 lies in the volume control. The SIT 2 employs a new proprietary volume control design called the "Optic Voltage Servo System" which provides lower noise, higher resolution, and improved dynamics.The SIT 2 also features an improved headphone section, making it one of the best amplifiers for headphone listening. The amp provides up to 23dB of headphone gain, which makes it compatible with just about any type of headphone. Additionally, the SIT 2 has a switchable subsonic filter (20Hz) that can be engaged to remove any low-frequency noise and improve bass performance.Another notable feature of the SIT 2 is its power supply, which provides a clean and stable supply of power to the amplifier sections. This design feature provides excellent bass dynamics, transient response, and crisp high frequencies.On the input side, the SIT 2 has four analog input options: ones and twos, plus and AES/EBU, and can be configured for either single-ended or balanced operation. The SIT 2 also has a balanced output stage, providing higher headroom and lower noise.In summary, the First Watt SIT 2 is a powerful and versatile integrated amplifier with an exceptional dynamic range, low noise, and exceptional detail resolution. Its unique features, including its advanced volume control, robust power supply, and high-quality headphone amp, make it an excellent choice for serious audiophiles looking for high-end performance.
