Mid-Century Meets Midnight
The Unison Simply Italy Black Edition takes everything audiophiles adore about the original Simply Italy and dresses it in a deep, high-gloss black — then quietly drags it into the 21st century with a built-in high-resolution DAC and digital inputs. Still built around a single-ended Class A tube design running Gold Lion KT77 output valves, it's a piece of hi-fi art that looks as good as it sounds. Handcrafted in Italy, loved around the world.
Ten Watts of Pure Class A — and That's Plenty
"But… only 10 watts?" Don't worry. This is pure single-ended Class A tube power delivered with finesse and authority through Unison's latest circuit design. With speakers rated 89 dB or higher, the Simply Italy Black Edition easily fills a medium-sized room with rich, dimensional, tonally gorgeous sound. Newly redesigned internal circuitry with optimized bias control and a five-section output transformer means even sweeter sound and smoother operation than before. It punches way above its weight class — and does it in style.
Analog Charm, Digital Convenience
No extra boxes required. The Black Edition adds a premium built-in DAC so you can enjoy digital sources with analog soul, and its versatile input set — three RCA line inputs plus USB, Toslink optical and coaxial SPDIF — connects everything from a CD transport to a streaming laptop. Wrapped in a sleek black high-gloss panel and matching anodized chassis, it's the rare amplifier that blends old-school warmth with modern flexibility.
