Job Integrated Amp.

Lol this is not a paid add. The amp looks just like the picture posted on the facebook page. A combination of the preamp and the 220 but bigger. The design is very sleek looking and very minimal. I have only been using the toslink connection so far so I can't comment on the USB.

The DAC: This seems to be integrated pretty well. Compared to my much loved Metrum, the built in dac supports the Job's sound signature better. What is the sound signature you might ask...

The Preamp and Amp: Comes with a sleek little remote that only has a mute button and volume up and down. The volume control is very precise and smooth, slow up and slow down. Go up and the volume seems to infinitely get loud and louder. I have been doing a test run with the movie Gravity.
Wow this amp is fast. Bass notes and sounds that are typically found in the subwoofer region are brought to light even on bookshelf speakers. Bass is fast and goes deep but just lacks a little umf in the kick drum region. The sound of the midrange has been changing the last 24 hrs. It started out with a little glare but that is changing and starting to smooth out. It’s open…this guy is open. Turn the volume up and the soundstage expands in every direction.

I just got it confirmed this weekend. The INT does DSD128.

Sounds typically Job, fast and bass "grippy" it seems. You must be one of the first, as they went out like last Friday.

First batch sold out.

Next batch in a month!

Have had the amp running over a week now. Just sat down to listen. Wow...how the sound signature has smoothed out (warm and textured). This amp is tremendous.

How does it compare to the 225 that you previously owned? Does it sound similar but better or altogether different?

Hello Djverne,

I'm curious about the inputs and dac of the Job Integrated. Is the Job dac good enough to replace a Metrum Octave dac or MDAC?
Does the Job Integrated do a AD-DA conversion on the analog input?
If so it would do a second AD-DA conversion on an input from an external dac. That would not be favorable. It would make an external dac a no-go.
