Boulder 866 Integrated Amplifier

BOULDER 866 Integrated Amplifier / DAC – ROON Streaming (option)

It’s taken a number of years to get here, but we’ve finally arrived!
A few years ago we began discussing with you the needs for a new integrated amplifier
that would have digital capability, including the types of necessary inputs, output power,
front panel controls, etc. We can now tell you just about everything you’d need to know
about the product. The unit will be called the 866 Integrated and as of today we’re just
a few weeks away from its official release. We wanted to get you as much information
about the unit as possible. Make that, “units.” More on that later. First, a little
background about the 866.
There will be two versions of the 866: an all-analog version and an analog+digital version.
