No_ 5805 and No_ 5802 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIERS
INTRODUCING THE MARK LEVINSON №5805 AND №5802 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIERS The №5805 and №5802 were created to deliver all of the performance and quality expected from Mark Levinson while implementing state of the art features and efficiencies gained from decades of superlative audio engineering.
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN Robust materials, lavish finishes and bold geometry are celebrated attributes of Mark Levinson designs. One-inch thick solid aluminum front panels are bead-blasted, black-anodized, and machine contoured to flow seamlessly into the sleek glass display, which itself is recessed into a bead-blasted and clear-anodized aluminum bezel. Two iconic hourglass knobs are machined with a gently curved profile softly transitioning into a rounded front.
DIGITAL AUDIO The №5805 and №5802 offer outstanding digital audio capability through the Mark Levinson PrecisionLinkII DAC. The latest generation ESS Sabre 32-bit D/A converter with jitter elimination circuitry and a fully balanced, discrete current-to-voltage converter form the heart of the digital audio processing stage. The №5805 features four digital audio inputs: one coaxial and two optical S/PDIF, and one asynchronous USB for playback of high-resolution PCM (up to 32 bit/384kHz) and DSD (up to 11.
№5805 ANALOG INPUT STAGE The foundation of the №5805 is its proprietary PurePath circuitry – a fully discrete, direct-coupled, dual-monaural line-level preamp circuitry, for which the Shelton design team has filed two patent requests. A unique single gain stage mated to a digitally controlled resistor network for volume adjustment maintains maximum signal integrity and widest possible bandwidth.
HIGHLIGHTS Digital AMPLIFICATION The fully discrete, direct-coupled, Class AB amplifier channels get their power from an oversized (500+ VA) toroidal transformer with individual secondary windings for the left and right channels. The voltage gain stage employs a topology directly descended from the acclaimed №534 amplifier, which is mated to an output stage comprising two high-speed driver transistors operating in Class A and six 260V, 15A output transistors.
