PRODUCT STORY

High-Resolution Streaming with BluOS

Equipped with BluOS, the C 658 provides seamless access to major streaming services, local music libraries, and high-resolution playback throughout the home. The BluOS Controller app makes it easy to browse and control music in one room or across a multi-room system. Designed for clarity and ease of use, BluOS gives the C 658 intuitive, app-based navigation that brings modern convenience to serious hi-fi listening.

Flexible Connectivity for Modern Hi-Fi

Designed to integrate effortlessly into high-end audio systems, the C 658 offers a wide range of analogue, digital, balanced, and subwoofer connections. Its digital-domain signal handling, adjustable bass management, and balanced outputs make it a precise, low-noise partner for any power amplifier. Whether pairing with external sources, turntables, or multi-room components, the C 658 unlocks the full performance of your existing system.

Precision Digital Processing

The C 658 maintains an all-digital signal path to preserve detail and consistency across all inputs. A high-performance DAC stage and digital-domain volume control minimise noise while maintaining transparency at any listening level. This careful design ensures clean, balanced playback from high-resolution streaming to traditional sources.

Dirac Live Room Calibration

As a Dirac Live component, the C 658 can be calibrated to your listening space using the included licence, with the option to upgrade to Dirac Live Full Frequency for more advanced tuning. Dirac reduces room-induced resonances and improves imaging by correcting both time and frequency response. This optimisation brings greater clarity, depth, and focus, allowing your speakers to perform at their best.
