The Sony TA-DA9000ES amplifier, housed in a sleek metallic casing with clean lines, was designed with innovation in mind.
Since it uses digital operation, it is almost noiseless, and its digital
amplification doesn't have the distortion at higher
frequencies of other models. This is due to Sony's
unique Direct Stream Digital process, which samples
at a rate 64 times that of a regular CD and is
remarkably close to analog sound.
Besides the digital operation, this surround sound
amplifier has many features you would expect to see
in any quality amplifier - 7.1 channels, Dolby
Digital and DTS decoding, and a variety of input
ports. These inputs come not just in the standard
optical and coaxial ports, but also in an RS232C
port and a Sony i.Link port - another name for
FireWire - which allows it to communicate with SACD
players. There is also a Phono section built in so
you can hook up a turntable and listen to all of the
great music that comes on vinyl.
At 200 watts, the Sony TA-DA9000ES amplifier
certainly isn't underpowered, and with the 10
speaker ports and the two-way Learning LCD remote
control to top it off, this is a great amplifier for
any music or home theater enthusiast.
