Thank you very much for purchasing the Progression Integrated Amplifier. We are
especially excited about this component. The Progression Integrated Amplifier is the
ideal centerpiece of a modern audio system for analog and digital music aficionados
alike. An intriguing combination of performance, modularity, and aesthetics makes the
Progression Integrated Amplifier a truly compelling platform.
The heart and soul of the Progression Integrated Amplifier is essential Dan D’Agostino
Master Audio Systems’ technologies including discrete, balanced, direct coupled
circuitry married to a substantial output stage delivering 200WPC into 8 Ohms and
400WPC into 4 Ohms. The foundation of the Progression Integrated Amplifier is
a traditional line stage integrated amplifier suitable for all analog sources except
turntables. If the vinyl awakening has already captured your imagination, an optional
phonostage module adds selectable moving coil functionality. If a turntable is added
in the future, the phonostage module can be added at a later date. For those listeners
keen to incorporate digital playback within the same unit, an optional digital module
is also available adding a full suite of capability. Eliminating external connections, gain
stages, and additional components offers distinct sonic advantages. Coaxial, optical,
and USB physical inputs join ethernet and wireless connectivity for in house network
and internet streaming capability. Digital resolution includes support for files up to
DSD256 and 24bit/192K PCM accuracy.
As part of the digital module technologies, Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, and Spotify streaming
subscription services are available. With appropriately encoded music files, MQA
decoding is standard. Customized apps for iOS devices provide easy control of
music collections, streaming content, and unit control. Roon Music management is
also available as an alternative music management program.
From the outside, the Progression Integrated Amplifier is pure Dan D’Agostino Master
Audio Systems. Substantial power output requires proper cooling for optimal operation
and long term reliability. The Progression Integrated Amplifier is equipped with the
elegantly efficient heat sinks reminiscent of the flagship Relentless Mono Amplifier.
Finished in either anodized silver or black Aluminum, the Progression Integrated
Amplifier, like all D’Agostino components, are hand built by our staff of music lovers
and technicians in our Cave Creek, Arizona facility.
Sincerely,
The Team from Dan D’Agostino Master Audio Systems
“This is pure D’Agostino…
the listening options are endless.”
