RWA Components
Tube Stage
Adds richness and warmth. Standard on all components. Upgrade available for previous versions.
Only Red Wine Audio offers battery-powered vacuum tube-stages for a complete line of hi-fi components, delivering:
- A large 3-dimensional soundstage
- Lifelike harmonics and tone
- Outstanding retrieval of subtle detail
- The blackest background achievable using tubes
- An emotionally involving, “toe-tapping” listening experience
Features
- Operates in Class-A mode, delivering the highest level of sonic purity
-
Auto-mute delayed turn-on sequencing
- Mutes audio signal while tubes warm up
- Eliminates annoying turn on /off “pops”
- Maximizes tube life by heating them prior to applying plate voltage
- “Buffered-design” via high input impedance and low output impedance, breaths additional life into your music
- You can fine tune the sound, via tube rolling, to match your system needs and musical taste
- Auto-biasing for tubes – so just plug ‘n play!
Accepted Tubes
6922 / E88CC, 6DJ8 / ECC88, 7308 / E188CC, 7DJ8 / PCC88, 6N23, 6H23, 6N11, and 6GM8
LFP Battery
State-of-the-art technology. Delivers improved sound & added convenience compared to alternative battery types. Upgrade available for previous versions.
Only Red Wine Audio offers premium LiFePO4 (LFP) battery packs for a complete line of hi-fi components, delivering:
- Great dynamics
- Tight, resolved bass
- An open and extended treble response
- The most environmentally friendly battery technology available
- 5 times the cycle life compared to sealed lead-acid batteries
- No loss in cycle life when batteries run to complete discharge
- Approximately 1/2 the internal impedance compared to sealed lead acid batteries – lower impedance translates directly into improved sound
- Built-in, custom-designed cell management, optimizing battery performance and reliability
- Ease of replacement, with no special skills or soldering required
SMART™ Battery Management
Fully automates all aspects of battery management. AC power can be totally absent from signal path, for better sound.
Our innovative SMART board (Seamless battery Monitoring and Auto Recharge circuiT) continuously monitors battery pack voltage. When voltage drops to predetermined level, SMART turns your unit off and begins charging. When charging is complete, the external charger can remain connected indefinitely. It’s that simple!
Features
- When unit is ON, both positive and negative leads of battery charger internally disconnect from battery, so there’s zero chance of sound degradation
- Battery charging happens when unit is OFF, keeping your music as pure as possible
- In-rush current limiting provides your unit with soft starting, maximizing component lifespan
- External battery charger separates AC noise from product
- Flip a switch and enjoy unlimited play time for your marathon listening sessions
Isabellina Pro
Two digital-to-analog chips on a single board. One optimized for high-resolution playback. One optimized for Red Book playback. Upgrade available for previous versions.
- High-resolution d/a conversion via premium 24/192k Wolfson DAC chip
- Red Book conversion via our tried-and-true 16-bit, NOS Isabellina design
- Toggle between the two converters by simply flipping a switch
- High-res converter also supports 16-bit, so you can choose between two “sonic flavors” for Red Book playback
- Analog signal from both converters is further enhanced by our tube stage
- Supports 3 digital inputs (USB up to 16/48k, Coax and Optical up to 24/192k)
Balanced Headphone Stage
Optional balanced headphone output stage delivers more power and improved sonic performance so you get the most from your high-end headphones. Upgrade available for previous versions.
Features
- High-current, discrete FET design
- Clean 5 watts RMS into 32-ohms
- Neutrik 4-pin XLR output jack, with gold plated contacts
- Drives a wide range of headphones with ease
- Brings your music collection to life with stunning dynamics, fine resolution, lifelike soundstage and natural timbre and tone
Design DNA
Personal pride is evident in every component we build.
- Every product designed and built by hand in the USA
- Premium parts used throughout
-
Purist circuit design, including:
- Short and direct signal paths
- Discrete FETs vs. lesser sounding (and less expensive) Opamps
- Switches on rear panel for shortest signal path
- All designs run off-the-grid, eliminating the AC-to-DC conversion process when listening
- Clean, understated enclosure design, reflecting our belief that lifelike music reproduction takes priority over specs or “eye candy”
- Products designed and built to last, with a comprehensive 5-year warranty and highly personalized service backing every unit we ship
