Integrated Amplifier

Jeff Rowland Daemon Super Integrated Amplifier

The Daemon is capable of providing a monstrous 1500 watts (and 30 amps peak current) to each of its dual mono channels, and is equipped with isolated digital and analog power supplies. Being an integrated amplifier it also offers the company’s state-of-the-art pre-amplification as well as an on-board DAC (capable of processing PCM and DSD) and Bluetooth connectivity.

The luxuriously machined front panel, synonymous with all Jeff Rowland components, sports a gorgeous 7” x 5” touchscreen display and a large volume / selection wheel. This precision weighted wheel is nearly as large as a vinyl record and sits on an industrial bearing assembly. This construction allows the Daemon to achieve a perfectly smooth and tactile operation when adjusting the volume and selecting inputs. A Bluetooth Low Energy remote lets you take control from the comfort of your seat, without having to point the remote directly at the unit.

Three optional modules can be installed inside the Daemon – an HDMI plug-in module, a WiFi module and a phonostage (MC/MM). The internal firmware of the amplifier and its features can be updated via a dedicated USB port.

As you might expect from a component of this caliber, the Daemon offers a great wealth of connectivity options. On the analog side there are 3 x RCA and 2 x XLR balanced inputs. Digital inputs on the other hand include 2 x RCA (SPDIF), 2 x BNC (SPDIF), 1 x AES/EBU, 1 x USB (DSD) and 3 x TOSLINK.
