Quality designed valve-based Digital and Audio components.
Specializing in Korean manufactured audio gear
As we have seen over the last several years, the Park family has been very busy in their development lab. Part of this intensive effort has been focused on designing an all-new product line, and today, Allnic is pleased to introduce its ASRA series of electronics. In Korean, ASRA (pronounced “Ah-srah”) describes something faint, distant, and profoundly deep, evoking spaciousness, depth and a refined sonic atmosphere. The goal with ASRA is to draw on Allnic’s more than 30 years of innovative vacuum tube circuit design and apply it to a sub-$10,000 USD product line that still meets Allnic’s rigorous standards for exceptional sound reproduction.
In 2026, Allnic will introduce four models in the new ASRA line: an output transformer-coupled headphone amplifier (HPA), an integrated amp, an OTL/OCL DAC, and a phono-preamp. The ASRA products all feature in-house, hand-built transformers designed especially for them (of course, the OTL/OCL DAC does not require an output transformer). Use of the powerful 7558 pentode beam power tube simplifies the circuits in the output transformer-coupled headphone and integrated amplifiers. The OTL/OCL DAC will use the 5687 double triode tube or its equivalents, the 7119 (E182cc) and 7044. These tube and circuit changes reduce the total number of tubes required for each of these models compared to their Allnic counterparts. The last model, to be released late in 2026, will be a phono stage, featuring the same in-house, hand-built step-up transformers used in Allnic’s other analog products.
​
The HPA and integrated models can include, as an option (for an additional fee), a newly designed 41-Step Constant Impedance Attenuator (CIA), a simplified version of the world’s first, and still unique, CIA, found on Allnic’s top preamps, integrated and headphone amps. The ASRA designs all contain select, conveniently modular elements, allowing the owner to upgrade some parts or add accessories as they are developed.
​
While MRSP is not currently set, at the time of writing, prices (in USD) are expected to be about $6500 for the HPA and integrated amplifier, $9950 for the DAC, and $8000 for the phono-stage. ASRA RHPA-7500 headphone amplifier, ASRA RD-7500 OTL/OCL digital analog converter and Allnic 'Signature' D-15,000 OTL/OCL DAC will be shown at booth - EG8114, Ear Gear level, Axpona on April 10th to April 12th, 2026 with RAAL Requisite.
​
In addition to the ASRA products, Allnic will also introduce a new “outboard” AUT step-up transformer product line featuring an entirely new SUT design. This new technology enables exemplary performance from moving-coil cartridges with virtually any design specifications! These units will be simple, transferable, plug-n-play. More information will soon be forthcoming.
​
2026 is going to be an exciting year. Please stay tuned!
​
The ASRA RHPA-7500 is available now, with or without Constant Impedance Attenuation.
Experience with the D-10,000 led Allnic, in collaboration with semiconductor expert Abel Kang, into a year of research and development, which proved a successful endeavor. The work resulted in a new digital circuit design to optimize the SABRE ES9039PRO digital-analog conversion, eliminating filtering, oversampling, and PCM/DSD conversion.  However, Allnic and Kang’s focus was on both digital and analog circuit design. Insight was gained into options for power supplies and the use of the highest-quality materials. These materials were designed to deliver the best sound quality, reliability, consistency, and simplicity at different price points.​
​​
While the digital specifications of the ASRA DAC mirror the ‘Signature’ D-15,000, there are some significant differences.  ASRA has only one SABRE chip; the D-15,000 has two.  The D-15,000 features I2S connectivity, while the ASRA features universal Bluetooth capabilities.  While each of these DACs features independent digital and analog power transformers, only the D-15,000 'Signature' has complete digital galvanic isolation. The power transformers for each model have the same material and construction but are spec'd optimally for each circuit. Furthermore, the OTL/OCL circuit topography is unique to each.  The D-15,000 uses four tubes per channel, while ASRA has only one tube per channel – the 5687, with equivalent options: E182CC, 7044, 6900, 7119.  This makes tube rolling, even for the rarest unicorn, affordable.
