The matching models are the $699-suggested PM6005 integrated amplifier and $499 CD6005 hi-fi CD player.
Compared to its predecessor, the M6005 adds digital fiber-optic and coaxial inputs and internal 192kHz/24-bit DAC, whereas its predecessor was an analog-only model. The new version also sports "brushed-up/tuned internal components and signal paths," said D+M Group product manager Paul Belanger.
The power supply, for example, has been upgraded with a high-current, shielded toroidal transformer and large-capacity diodes to provide high-current and high-speed conversion capability, the company said.
Like its PM6004 predecessor, the PM6005 is rated at 2x45 watts into 8 ohms and 2x60 into 4 ohms and features HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module) technology, which provides an extremely high slew rate with high dynamic range and a wide bandwidth, the company said.
