Aurorasound AFE-11 RIAA Converter

The AFE-11 eliminates digital noise and unnecessary high-frequency noise from the CD or DA converter signal. The external phono stage amplifier then imparts its sound characteristics, transforming the digital audio into an analog-like sound. With its very low noise and super low distortion design, the AFE-11 ensures no sound degradation.

Why is this seemingly unnecessary and meaningless process needed? Additional processing might seem to worsen the sound, right? While this isn't entirely incorrect, remember that we are listening to MUSIC through an audio system. The AFE-11 never degrades the music; instead, it captures the core of the music and reveals the essence of the recorded material. I recommend the AFE-11 for those who love analog records and have given up on listening to digital audio sources. You will rediscover your CD library with your phono stage amplifier and the AFE-11. For those tired of the constant pursuit of improvements, I suggest trying the AFE-11 to uncover a new joy in audio.

To compare the direct CD sound and the AFE-11 sound, the AFE-11 is equipped with parallel output terminals. Please use a high-quality phono stage amplifier. The AFE-11 is also useful for evaluating DIY phono amps and checking RIAA equalization performance without special measurement tools.
