CONGRATULATIONS to Orchard Audio for their successful certification of the CRISPIN Amplifier, a Maraschino based product.  Maraschino is an Amplifier Technology from the makers of Cherry Amplifier (R) audio equipment.  It is the driving force behind the Maraschino Cherry product line.  This technology has been made accessible to other firms and proper implementation in the end product is assured through a certification program.  Tests include ears-on long-term listening, always-on operation, intermittent use, demanding passage handling, rigorous bench testing (all specifications), low level listening, thermal analysis, and ability to drive various speaker systems.

Nice start. 20K input? Will you have a preamp to match eventually ? Best of luck.

The Input impedance is 20k ohm.

There will be DAC in the future.

So how are you going to differentiate your product v/s Tommy's?

Here are some major differences.
1. CRISPIN does not need external power supply.
2. The 48V power supply inside the unit is linear.
3. There are no wiring harnesses inside CRISPIN.
