Summary of the PS Audio Stellar Strata Integrated Amplifier
The Strata’s pre-amplifier is based on the problem-solving GainCell concept that was solely invented by PS Audio founder Paul McGowan. In other words, the pre-amp itself manages the signal path. Thus eliminating the need for extra components. And it happens to be 100% analog – ensuring the preservation of all musical details and delivering rich, powerful sound to high performance headphones.
Analogue Cell Technology
The amplifier plays a major role in maintaining the quality of sound and the overall musical performance. The Stellar Strata carries out this task through the use of the Analog Cell. Analog Cell technology closely replicates the classic vacuum tube sound. At the same time, the design is capable of preserving minor acoustic details and also handling the most complicated musical passages.
Flat Frequency Response
Together with the extremely linear and flat frequency response of the high current output stage of Strata MK2. Even the multiple layers of the inner details of music are very well preserved during the most complex orchestral crescendos.
