DSEE Ultimate

Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Ultimate (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales compressed digital music files in real time. Adaptively recognising instrumentation, musical genres, and individual elements of each song, such as vocals or interludes, it can restore acoustic subtleties and dynamic range, as well as high-frequency clarity and presence, for a richer, more complete listening experience.*

Digital Section

This AV product has a revamped digital section, with all signal processing performed on a single chip. HDMI has also been changed to support 8K I/O, as well as devices and circuits.

J-FET Combination Buffer Amp

Our audio engineers custom-tuned the AN1000's circuit layout using the actual analogue output of the Digital-Analogue Converter (DAC). The resulting addition of a Junction-gate Field Effect Transistor (J-FET) improved the OP-AMP performance by around 20%. High-resolution audio formats especially have benefited, with more precise phase rotation at higher frequencies and cleaner overall sound.

New Large Capacity Power Transformer

The new power transformer is designed for even lower distortion. An improved copper wound core and bobbin, alongside a newly-refined manufacturing process, delivers audiophile precision to all your entertainment.

Centre Speaker Lift Up

Clever audio processing allows the STR-AN1000 to virtually reposition the sound of a centre speaker, even one placed below your TV or projector. This lines up dialogue and effects with their on-screen source for more natural and engaging viewing.
