TA-AN1000 receives a 5-star review from What Hi-Fi?
“This amplifier ticks all our boxes, with a sleek design, good feature set and outstanding performance, making it so easy to recommend” - What Hi-Fi? (Apr. 2023)
360 Spatial Sound that adapts to your environment
D.C.A.C. IX ingeniously measures the height and position of each speaker with a calibration microphone.
The AN1000 features 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology to draw you into your entertainment like never before. Based on the positional information measured by D.C.A.C. IX, multiple phantom speakers2 are generated all around you, for an entirely new sound sensation, so you can experience all the drama of Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® alongside every breath, step and word like you're right inside the film.
High quality visuals
See vivid scenes full of real-life colour and depth. All of the original picture quality is preserved when played through the AN1000, so you’ll be completely immersed in movies. Gaming is also much more thrilling and realistic, with support for the latest formats, such as Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) in HDMI 2.1.
High quality sound
Enjoy music the way the artists truly intended with High-Resolution Audio for crystal clear precision. Or discover a new way of listening with
360 Reality Audio6 for a truly immersive live concert or studio session experience. With the AN1000, your music comes to life like never before. It also supports DSD (Direct Stream Digital) native playback, with no conversion involved so DSD content can be fully enjoyed without losing any of the original quality.
Best with Sony TVs
When connected to a BRAVIA TV with Acoustic Center Sync4 5, both the audio system and the TV become the center speaker in your home cinema system. With Acoustic Center Sync, you’ll hear dialogue from the screen. Action and sound are precisely aligned so your viewing becomes much more immersive.
