T+A Caruso R Multi Source Receiver NEW!!

Description:

The Caruso R from T+A continues the great Caruso legacy with this exceptional multi-source receiver. Aside from built-in speakers, it really offers everything. Connections to multiple sources are possible, and a powerful amplifier provides enough drive for a variety of speaker options despite its compact size.

Already in 2008, T+A introduced the first Caruso, which quickly won numerous awards and achieved absolute cult status with its unique overall design. In 2020, a new generation of Caruso was released, representing the biggest progress in the history of these devices: The new version was a complete redesign – both externally and technically. Although its heritage remains clear, the new Caruso embodied the transformation of the machine from an all-in-one device to a series ofindividual products.

The Caruso R logically continues the theme of the Caruso and that's the key to its pleasantly familiar look. The T+A aluminum framework offers high precision and physical strength, while its outer dimensions remind of the first Caruso from 2008. The new 7-inch HD screen effectively expands the Caruso R and gives it a restrained elegance even without speakers.

The connection area on the back impressively reflects the versatility of the Caruso R.The Caruso R was meant to be the heart of a versatile, high-quality Hi-Fi system from day one of its development program.A key feature was the demand for a wide range of sources, as sources should not be a limitation:Analog and digital inputs cover every conceivable need, from turntables with phono preamps to TVs and set-top boxes.USB inputs providefor mobile and network sources, LAN, WLAN, and Bluetooth sockets are also available, whose signals are converted by the SC 100 – the T+A Streaming Client.Caruso is our first product that uses the SC 100, which provides access to services like Gracenote Music ID, Airable Music Services, Spotify Connect, Apple AirPlay, and Amazon Music via Alexa.The possibilities of the internet are no longer just used – they are taken to a new level.
