Choco Sound EMEI Integrated Amplifier

CHOCO SOUND EMEI INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER

The Choco Sound EMEI is a compact, high-performance stereo integrated amplifier from the creators of Kinki Studio. Combining a powerful Class AB amplification circuit, minimalist analogue signal path and precision-machined aluminium chassis, it delivers serious Hi-Fi performance in a remarkably space-efficient design.

138 WATTS PER CHANNEL INTO 8 OHMS

Despite its compact dimensions, the EMEI delivers a manufacturer-rated 138W per channel into 8 ohms. Its Class AB output stage offers substantial power reserves for compatible bookshelf and floorstanding loudspeakers.

The amplifier is particularly appealing to listeners seeking a full-size stereo amplifier's capabilities without a conventional large chassis.

DIRECT, CAPACITOR-FREE AUDIO SIGNAL PATH

The EMEI draws on Kinki Studio's analogue circuit design philosophy, avoiding coupling capacitors in the main audio signal path.

This design approach aims to preserve musical detail and transparency while minimising unnecessary components between the source and amplification stages.

BALANCED XLR AND DUAL RCA INPUTS

One stereo balanced XLR input and two stereo RCA inputs accommodate external DACs, network streamers, CD players and other line-level sources.

With three analogue inputs, the EMEI can serve as the centre of a dedicated two-channel music system. It has no internal DAC, network streaming module or phono preamplifier, so these functions require suitable external sources.

PRECISE VOLUME CONTROL AND SYSTEM OPERATION

The front-panel multifunction control provides input selection, volume adjustment and access to operating functions. A front display gives the amplifier its distinctive appearance and provides visual feedback.

The supplied control arrangement enables convenient everyday operation while preserving the EMEI's clean, minimalist design.

SOLID ALUMINIUM CONSTRUCTION

A substantial multilayer aluminium enclosure contributes to mechanical rigidity and heat management. The compact 280mm-wide chassis makes the EMEI suitable for premium desktop systems, compact equipment racks and traditional listening rooms.

At approximately 10kg according to the manufacturer, it is a serious integrated amplifier despite its small footprint.

DESIGNED FOR REFINED TWO-CHANNEL LISTENING

The EMEI has attracted attention for its expansive stereo presentation, expressive midrange and engaging musical character.

Pair it with compatible Davis Acoustics loudspeakers and a quality external streamer or DAC to build a complete stereo system. As with any powerful amplifier, loudspeaker impedance, sensitivity and listening levels should be considered when selecting a suitable pairing.
