The new JOB INTegrated Amp is coming !

Job INT, Goldmund HDA headphone amplifier and Telos 360 Mono block (seem to) share an identical main board. See post 110 on page 10 :scholar:.


Thanks Jaap. Yes there is a lot in common it appears.
Clearly they have a common platform on which they build their models.
 
My Job INTegrated arrives next week. Can't wait. I have a few extra bookshelf speakers and a modified Sonos sitting around doing nothing, so I thought I'd put them to good use.

A friend mentioned that the INTegrated is a touch warmer sounding than the Job 225. Sounds good to me, more to follow.

Congrats Joe! Very exciting...you'll love it

I'm not so technical however that I can to more than visually compare the three and recognise the logical difference in op-amps.

Nice video!

Greetings,
Jaap

Same Job circuit in all.
 
Thanks!

My Job INTegrated is hooked up and playing from a W4S modified sonos. For $1699 delivered, it's a no brainer. Sounds wonderful right now. Maybe a touch sweeter than the Job 225 amp I used to have. It's dead quiet, has that big Job/Goldmund open sound stage and seems pretty ballsy.

Agreed but not sure about the "touch sweeter" comment. It's too early to say as it needs to burn in a bit more and settle down. The sound is full and not dry or thin. If this is what you mean Joe then agreed... [emoji106]

Goldmund DSP magic!! Turn up the volume for more pleasure ...
 
You might be pleasantly surprised Bruce, I'll bring it next time I come over.
 
Joe,

What is your playback chain? Are you using the USB input?
I find the music a touch better with the USB and optical inputs.

Analog is a shade paler in comparison - likely due to additional cables, etc.

Regards.
 
Hi Nikhil,

Right now I am using a modified Sonos into the coax spdif. It sounds wonderful. The modified Sonos outputs 24/96 to the INTegrated DAC.

I plan on getting a Lumin U1 and hooking it up via USB to take advantage of the DSD dac inside.

I'd like to run it for the next few days to a week with the Sonus and get it broken in more to really see what it can do.

I have no plans on feeding it an analog signal, so the fact that it converts analog to digital and back again is not an issue for me.

Definitely worth investigating the internal DAC. I think that's where the entire package shines. Job has done a fantastic job of integrating the DAC with the amplification in the INT.
 
My modified Sonus IS USING the dac in my INTegrated and it is outstanding.

Sorry if this has been asked before but does the INT run any cooler than the 225?
 
No comparison! The INT does not have those hot heatsinks on the back of the chassis. Hence it never really gets hot, perhaps just a bit warmSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Well that's good to hear! Simplifying sounds too good to be true...I mean, one component to rule them all? :)

I use a PC Transport - sending PCM 352.8 either with JRiver or HQPlayer
Interestingly the INT does respond when I upsample PCM to DSD via HQPlayer.
I did not expect this as I know that the INT converts DSD back to PCM internally.

The INT runs warm to the touch even after hours of playback.

So did the INT take over as your component in your main listening space? If so, have you found a new home for your Lampi Amber?

My L4 is probably very similar to your Amber so I'm just curious if you don't miss the tube section of the Amber...

Just saw Joe's comments on the INT on Agon, man he sure makes it tempting:blush:
