Chord Electronics Anni Desktop Integrated Amplifier
Anni is Chord Electronic's first-ever desktop integrated amplifier. Capable of driving both headphones and compact loudspeakers, Anni benefits from the company’s proprietary ULTIMA circuit topology and is perfectly positioned to exploit the full potential of today’s high-performance headphones, desktop monitors and high-resolution audio sources.
The new Anni desktop integrated amplifier forms part of the Qutest range and seamlessly complements the resolving abilities of the multi-award-winning Qutest standalone DAC and Huei phono stage. As a system, the Qutest components provide an unrivalled desktop audio solution, offering class-leading digital and analogue technologies for the modern music lover. The company’s compact QSS (Qutest Stand System) modular equipment rack provides the perfect support, too.
Anni offers the recently announced dual-feed-forward error-correction circuit topology whether using headphones or compact loudspeakers. Anni’s advanced technology allows it to drive any headphone load, error-monitored and compensated amplification at all times.
Benefitting from both 3.5 mm headphone outputs and ¼-inch (6.35 mm) outputs, so two can listen simultaneously, plus 4 mm banana-type loudspeaker outputs, Anni delivers 10 watts of quality ULTIMA amplification, controlled by a fascia-mounted volume control that also doubles as an input selector switch for Anni’s two line-level inputs. A two-stage gain control for loudspeakers provides additional flexibility with a wide range of desktop monitors.

- Powerful headphone amp with 3.5 mm and 6.35 mm outputs
- 4 mm (banana) loudspeaker outputs

Amplifier Gain
Anni benefits from a two-stage (high and low) gain function on the loudspeaker outputs to suit a wide range of partnering speakers. Press the gain button to alternate between low (blue) and high (red) gain modes, allowing 3 seconds to switch between modes.
When using either of the headphone outputs, Anni is automatically switched to low gain mode. If using Anni with Qutest, ensure Qutest's output voltage is set no higher than 2V.

About Chord Electronics
British maker of DACs and amplifiers, designed, engineered and manufactured in the United Kingdom.
Chord Electronics designs, engineers and manufactures its products in the United Kingdom. The catalogue centres on DACs built around FPGA technology, including the Hugo and Mojo ranges and the desktop Qutest, alongside the Ultima range of amplifiers. It also makes the Quartet upscaler and the Suzi and Suzi Pre.

FPGA technology sits at the centre of the DACs
Chord's DACs use FPGA technology and its own WTA filter, with the Blackbird WTA filter described as improving timing accuracy. The same approach runs through the Hugo, Mojo and Qutest lines, so moving between models changes the size and the connections more than the underlying design.
Compact models, desktop models and an upscaler
The Hugo and Mojo ranges are the compact models, including the Hugo 2, Hugo 2go and Mojo 2. Qutest is a desktop DAC. Quartet is an upscaler, which adds processing in front of a DAC. Together they cover portable listening, a desktop setup and a full system.
Amplification from the same maker
Ultima is Chord's amplifier range, with the Ultima Integrated, Ultima 6 and Ultima Pre 3 among its models, and Suzi and Suzi Pre sit alongside it. That means your DAC and your amplification can come from one maker, which suits a system where you want the two designed to work together.
Why we stock Chord Electronics
Worth saying plainly: Chord Electronics and Chord Company are two separate British companies and we stock both. Electronics build DACs and amplification in Kent. They came in to sit alongside our cable ranges, because at a certain point the limiting factor in your system stops being the cable and starts being what is converting the signal.

What it is, more than anything, is very musical, whether I'm playing pop, rock, jazz, blues, electronic or classical. My preferred taste is orchestral and nothing I threw at Anni phased her in the slightest, no matter how complicated, fussy or involving. The sound staging is clear and open and surprisingly broad for such a little girl. She really sings with the Qutest DAC and, combined, they enrich those old or badly mastered recordings, low-quality files or poor stream connections, and she makes pretty much everything enjoyable.
In my small office space, the 3D sound image is engaging and vivid, rich and balanced without ever being too overpowering to distract from my work. However, the lack of muscle is really noticeable in bigger spaces (10w really isn't much) and you need to be very careful if you are planning to run speakers rather than headphones. I have tried Anni with a few different bookshelf speakers, old and new, and she can't power any of them. They all sound like a mobile phone inside a tin box, laboured, muddled and thin with no bass, no top and a scratchy kind of awful in between. So far the only exception has been the equally tiny Neat Iota's which really sing with her. In fact, I'd say the Anni, Qutest and Iota's will challenge anything comparably priced if your room is small enough.
This leads into the size point nicely; Anni, the Iota's and Qutest will all fit in a small bag, being the size of a lunch box and 2 pencil cases. This makes it a fantastically portable true hifi experience for hotel rooms. This depends on the hotel, I'm sure, but for my business and types of the hotel room, it's an unexpected benefit of buying Anni. It's true that Anni isn't cheap, and there is a lot of competition at the price, but this is missing the point a little - there is not much out there that can sound this good in a tight space. Just be careful about what you match her with.
