Key Features

🎵 Single-Ended Class A Design
Still the heart of the Simply Italy: a pure, musical 10 watts per channel from top notch Gold Lion KT77 tubes in ultralinear mode—designed for rich harmonics, tonal warmth, and captivating detail.

🧠 Upgraded Internal Circuitry
Enhanced stability and performance thanks to a newly redesigned circuit with optimized bias control and a more advanced five-section output transformer. Translation: even sweeter sound, even smoother operation.

🎧 Integrated High-Resolution DAC
No need for extra boxes! The Black Edition now includes a premium digital-to-analog converter so you can enjoy your digital sources with analog soul.

🔌 Versatile Inputs
In addition to three RCA line inputs, the Black Edition adds USB, Toslink optical, and coaxial SPDIF—making it easy to connect everything from your CD transport to your streaming setup.

🖤 Italian Styling with a Dark Side
A sleek, deep black high-gloss front panel and matching anodized aluminum chassis give the Simply Italy Black Edition a sophisticated edge. Think "mid-century meets midnight."

“But… only 10 watts?” Don’t worry - it's delicious tubie love.

We know what you're thinking: 10 watts? Really? But here’s the deal, this is 10 watts of pure Class A tube power, delivered with finesse and authority using Unison's latest, state of the art circuit design. In real-world use (especially with speakers rated 89 dB or higher), the Simply Italy Black Edition easily fills a medium-sized room with rich, dimensional sound.

Don’t let the numbers fool you. This amp punches way above its weight class—and does it in style.
