Know before you buy
The hybrid design combines the warmth and harmonic richness of a tube preamplifier with the power, control, and efficiency of a solid-state amplifier. This gives you the best of both worlds: a natural, musical sound signature with the drive necessary to power demanding speakers.
Yes, the SV-737 features separable preamplifier and power amplifier sections. You can use the 'Pre Out' to connect to a separate power amplifier, or use the 'Main In' to bypass the internal preamp and use the SV-737 solely as a power amplifier.
Yes, the SV-737 includes integrated WiFi and Bluetooth, allowing you to stream high-resolution audio files up to 24-bit/192kHz directly from a NAS drive or other network sources. It supports a wide range of formats including FLAC, WAV, and APE.
The amplifier includes dedicated tone controls for fine-tuning the bass and treble to your room or personal preference. If you prefer a pure, uncolored signal path, these controls can be completely defeated.

The two 12V trigger jacks allow the SV-737 to be turned on or off automatically in sync with other compatible components in your system. This simplifies operation by allowing you to power up your entire audio chain with a single command.
