  4. order with following filter in 1. order.
  Both filters realized with styroflex-capacities with 1 percent tolerance 

* Layout optimized to shortest signal paths


* Professional Class-A output stage 

* Relais with gold plated silver contacts

* Switchable output resistance


* 5 separated, stabilized power supplies for digital and analog sections 

* All input jacks and output jacks are gold plated

*
DAC and one external 50VA power supply integrated in heavy, massive, solid high-end-
  casings with high glossy black acryl fronts and resonance absorbing polished chrome feet

* As an option available: An additional (second) external 50VA power supply integrated in a heavy,
  massive, solid high-end-casing with high glossy black acryl front and resonance absorbing
  polished chrome feet


* Every device comes along with "its own" original measuring record of the frequency response,
  further measuring records are available on request
