You can think of the Thrax Enyo Signature as a Roon Ready streaming discrete DAC, MM and MC phono stage, passive tube preamp, and a pair of 50 Watt per channel fully differential DC-coupled single-ended triode-based mono amps all wrapped up in a single black anodized aluminum chassis.
The full tube compliment finds two pair of 6N6Ps in the input and driver stages and Russian GU50 power pentodes providing output power. There is no global negative employed in the Enyo.
The business end of the Enyo Signature tells the full in and out story with 6x digital inputs, 1x MM/MC input, 2x single-ended and 1x balanced line level inputs, and 4 and 8 Ohm speaker taps.
Highlights (from Thrax):
- Tube power amplifier developed from the ground up
- Fully differential push pull design
- Special cathode feedback ultra linear output stage
- Custom double C-core output transformer of the highest quality
- Vibration proof military transmission pentodes
- Choke filtered power supply
- Silicon carbide rectification
- Zero global feedback
- Auto bias for zero adjustments when replacing tubes
- Large LCD screen with sensor buttons
- Programmable remote control
- 4&8 Ohm speaker support
- 50W output power
- Streaming support
- Bluetooth input
- MM/MC Phono stage
- Roon Ready
Six multi-function buttons, a 4.3″ color LCD display, and two stainless steel strips adorn the simple front end. A simple (Apple) remote was included with the review sample but Signature buyers will get the Thrax remote that comes with their higher end preamps.
The Thrax Enyo looks the part of the strong not-so-silent type and I look forward to hearing what it has to say.
Stay tuned!
