Shipping this month the Vincent Audio SV-500 MK Hybrid Integrated Amplifier builds on the foundation of its predecessor, SV-500, with the addition of HDMI and Bluetooth to its extensive list of top-shelf components, including a 32-bit 384 kHz-capable DAC and a hybrid vacuum tube and solid-state design.

“As much as the technology and sonics continue to lead the category, Vincent Audio saw there was room for an upgrade by way of expanding compatibility with an exponentially wider array of sources, which led Vincent Audio to the addition of HDMI and Bluetooth connectivity.”

Steve Niemi, Director of Global Sales, Pangea Audio Distributing

ANALOGUE AND DIGITAL

Vincent Audio’s SV-500 MK integrated amplifier features six inputs — two analogue and four digital – including Bluetooth 5.0 and HDMI with ARC (Audio Return Channel).

At the heart of the SV-500 MK is a Vincent Audio-exclusive circuit that features three user-replaceable vacuum tubes: two 6N1 and one 12AX7. The tubes are biased for longer life, conservatively estimated to be 10 years.

The SV-500 MK is up-to-date with a DAC that handles the latest high-resolution streaming formats, including WAV, FLAC, AIFF, APE, and more. A robust power supply maintains a current flow that is clean and free of noise, Vincent tells us.
