Carat i57 All-in-one combines CD Player, AM/FM Tuner & Stereo Amplifier

The French company Carat presents the i57, an all-in-one Hifi component combines all the components of your audiophile system in a compact cabinet: a CD player, a AM/FM radio tuner and a stereo amplifier.

The unit benefits from the same design care as the separated elements of Carat 57 series with a black finish and a brushed aluminum touch. The i57 holds a high-precision CD player with Burr-Brown PCM1732 24 bits/96kHz DACs, a AM/FM RDS radio tuner and a stereo amplifier delivers 2x 50W / 8Ω or 2x 80W / 4Ω with a distortion less than 1%. The i57 is equipped with bass, treble and balance settings and all basic play controls can be done through the joystick on the front panel. Carat did not forget about MP3 users because the i57 has a 3.5mm jack auxiliary input. This nice audiophile system retails for around 1,200€.
