The Reference standard E100 features:
1.
CAAS Audio's proprietary "Coupled Symmetric Drive" (CSD) open loop, voltage gain
topology.
2.
Bespoke Voltage amplifier Perfect Isolating "VPI" driver stage.
3.
DC coupled from input to output (NO capacitors in the signal path).
4.
A true zero feedback design (NO global or local feedback).
5.
Six bespoke, discrete regulated power supplies with over 100,000uF of power supply
capacitance.
6.
Separate transformers and power supply for the voltage amplifier and current amplifier.
7.
The application of RF circuit design, layout and stability techniques.
8.
Ultra low Transient Intermodulation Distortion (TIM).
9.
Linear phase response with zero feedback essential for a truly open sound with high clarity,
detail and dynamic.
10. CAAS Link 12V trigger for automated sleep mode.
