Audiograde

Rapture DAC

Caspian Series 4G utilises Roksan’s powerful Rapture DAC technology which allows more information to be extracted for the best possible analogue reproduction. This has several measurable advantages over the traditional approach to digital to analogue reconstruction. The current-conveyor has superior gain-bandwidth characteristics essential for faithful high-resolution audio reproduction.

Euphoria Amplification

Caspian Series 4G uses Roksan’s new authoritative and intelligent class AB amplifier architecture, Euphoria, which excels in power and finesse. Roksan has evolved the AB topology, with individual power supplies for the current and voltage amplifiers, this reduced interaction delivers purer, more detailed and cleaner sound.

Design & Build

Caspian Series 4G builds on the foundations laid by the Roksan Attessa electronics, yet dramatically extends the performance, intuitive user-experience, and physical design presence. The aesthetic identity remains sleek, clean and modern, while clever design elements such as the custom extruded heatsinks, internal antennas and chamfered machined edging are pure Roksan.

Volume Control

Caspian Series 4G’s innovative volume control encapsulates the best of both the digital and analogue worlds. A hybrid digital-analogue volume control algorithm leverages powerful digital signal processing to facilitate tone controls and system matching.

Powerful DSP Engine

Accessed via the MaestroUnite app, Caspian Series 4G’s intelligent DSP engine optimises a user’s listening experience through the application of four key technologies: Intelligent Tone, Intelligent Boundary, Intelligent Speaker and Intelligent Phono. In combination, these technologies allow users to fine-tune their listening experience to their environment for the best possible results.

High-resolution Display

Caspian Series 4G’s new monochrome high-contrast OLED display frames the intuitive single point of control user interface more clearly and larger than ever before. Customisable input icons allow easy source selection, while a new progress indicator displays features such as track length.

Fully Balanced Pre-amplifier

Caspian Series 4G utilises a new analogue pre-amplifier section, the aim of which is to ensure that the signal is kept as clean as possible. A carefully configured and fully balanced design, it delivers the highest levels of noise rejection possible.

MM Phono Stage

The Caspian Series 4G’s phono stage facilitates extremely accurate playback of vinyl. It features dedicated an input for MM cartridges, and the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) filter and equalisation of each product is calibrated to a 0.5dB tolerance, thus ensuring the purest vinyl experience possible.

MaestroUnite app

Caspian Series 4G makes use of Monitor Audio Group’s in-house designed MaestroUnite app. The intuitive-to-use app provides simple set-up options, as well as providing access to advanced features such as input configuration, headphone sensitivity, analogue input gain, balance, low power standby, and the Roksan DSP Engine’s enhanced features for tailoring a system to a specific environment.

Who is this for?

What is the Roksan Caspian 4G Integrated Amplifier?

The Roksan Caspian 4G Integrated Amplifier is a premium integrated amplifier that combines a preamplifier, DAC, phono stage, and power amplifier in a single chassis. It is designed for listeners who want high-end performance without the complexity of separate components. The amplifier is built around Roksan's Euphoria Class AB amplification architecture and Rapture DAC technology, delivering both analogue and digital connectivity in one unit.

How is it different from the Caspian 4G Streaming Amplifier?

The main difference is that the Integrated Amplifier does not include BluOS streaming functionality. Instead, it focuses on amplification and source connectivity. If you already own a dedicated streamer, CD player, network transport, or other source components, the Integrated Amplifier may be the better choice. The Streaming Amplifier adds built-in BluOS streaming, multi-room capability, and support for services such as TIDAL, Qobuz, and Spotify.

What amplification technology does it use?

The amplifier uses Roksan's Euphoria Class AB amplification architecture. This design aims to combine the musicality and refinement associated with Class A designs with the efficiency and power delivery of Class AB operation. Roksan developed the architecture to provide low distortion, excellent control, and a highly transparent presentation.

Does it include a DAC?

Yes. The Caspian 4G Integrated Amplifier incorporates Roksan's Rapture DAC technology. This allows digital sources to be connected directly while maintaining high-quality digital-to-analogue conversion within the amplifier itself.

Does it have a phono stage?

Yes. A built-in moving magnet (MM) phono stage is included, allowing compatible turntables to be connected directly without requiring an external phono preamp. This makes it an excellent choice for vinyl enthusiasts who want a clean and simple system.

What connections are available?

The amplifier includes RCA and balanced XLR analogue inputs, Bluetooth aptX connectivity, subwoofer outputs, and the integrated moving magnet phono stage. This combination provides flexibility for both traditional hi-fi sources and modern wireless playback.

Can I connect a subwoofer?

Yes. The amplifier includes dedicated subwoofer outputs, making it easy to integrate one or more active subwoofers into a stereo system. This can be particularly beneficial when using standmount speakers or when seeking greater low-frequency extension.

How is the amplifier controlled?

The Caspian 4G Integrated Amplifier can be configured and managed through the MaestroUnite app. The app provides access to system setup, software updates, and advanced configuration options. A premium aluminium remote control is also supplied for everyday operation.

What does it sound like?

The amplifier is designed to be highly transparent, with strong dynamics, excellent control, and a natural presentation. Reviewers have particularly praised its realism, authority, and ability to reveal fine musical detail while remaining engaging and enjoyable to listen to.

What speakers does it pair well with?

Thanks to its substantial power delivery and high-current design, the Caspian 4G Integrated Amplifier can partner successfully with a wide range of speakers, from compact standmounts to demanding floorstanders. Its neutral balance and strong control make it particularly suitable for high-resolution loudspeakers that benefit from quality amplification.

Is it suitable for vinyl and digital systems?

Yes. One of the strengths of the Caspian 4G Integrated Amplifier is its versatility. The built-in MM phono stage makes it ideal for turntable-based systems, while the Rapture DAC allows digital sources to be connected directly. This enables users to build a system around both analogue and digital playback without needing additional components.

With its effortless dynamics, sense of realism, drama and control, I can think of few amps I’ve enjoyed listening to as much as the Caspian 4G of late, and all with price tags well north of the Roksan, showing how great value it is. ‘Affordable reference’ is perhaps the best way to sum up what Roksan has achieved with the Caspian 4G, and for that it should be celebrated.
