Subject: Elevate Your Listening – CH Precision I1 + Rockport Avior II Now Available
Dear [Recipient/Name],
We’re excited to inform you that the CH Precision I1 integrated amplifier—our flagship, one-box audio powerhouse—is now in stock and ready for installation. We can have this professionally installed in your home within just one week.
CH Precision is the undisputed leader in Swiss audio manufacturing, known for its obsessive engineering, modular versatility, and absolute sonic purity.
Rockport Technologies, by contrast, is the epitome of bespoke loudspeaker craftsmanship—building each loudspeaker one at a time for a select clientele. Every Avior II is the result of labor-intensive, artisanal construction with an uncompromising attention to the smallest detail, ensuring a perfect union of form and performance.
Why This Combination Stands Out
The synergy between the CH Precision I1 and Rockport Technologies' Atria II or Avior II loudspeakers is nothing short of spellbinding. The I1 offers a complete audio solution: pre-amplifier, high-current amplifier, world-class DAC, streamer card—and even a phono card if you opt for analog playback.
We typically pair this with the Brinkmann Bardo to complement the analog side.
On display now, the system includes the Avior II speakers, a CH Precision D1 disc player, and an X1 power supply—delivering uncompromised performance in both digital and analog forms. For all-digital setups, it’s remarkably simple: just one box and a pair of cables.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Stereophile (John Atkinson) praised the I1’s DAC performance:
"Imaging was precise, the soundstage deep… the midrange uncolored, the high frequencies clean and unfatiguing… low-level recorded detail was present in abundance."
The Absolute Sound (Alan Taffel), after a firmware upgrade to the DAC section, noted:
“Its DAC vaulted from very good to the best I’ve ever heard.”
Enjoy the Music awarded the I1 their Blue Note Award in 2020, with reviewer Greg Weaver exclaiming:
"The CH Precision I1 offers a level of performance from a single package that is completely unsurpassed… an absolute steal… most highly recommended.”
Tone Publications highlighted the unit's completeness:
“Each section of the I1 is a world-class component in its own right… if you want to build an extremely high-performance system comprised of as few boxes as possible—there's nothing better I’ve ever experienced.”
