Level control implemented with motor-driven high quality ALPS potentiometer.

Inputs selected using high-quality telecommunication standard NEC EA2 relays.

To ensure best audio performance, the recording output has a buffer op-amp, so loading from the recording machine does not affect the main signal path.

The RCA unbalanced output has a separate buffer amplifier, keeping it independent of the balanced XLR output. Therefore, the RCA output load does not reduce the balanced output’s common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR).

Bypass-functions: The XLR input is sent directly to XLR output, and all other circuits are bypassed. This allows a CD player or DAC with level control to drive the power amplifiers directly, without moving cables. The other bypass function is intended for home theatre use, so the surround processor output for Main L&R can pass through the D3.

The dual mono GamuT D3 is the natural pivot point for any high-end system. The clarity and musicality will satisfy even the most critical connoisseur. It can accommodate an FM tuner or other secondary sources, and still keep a direct path for the CD or SACD signal.
