Straightforward Automated Process
Setup is guided by the Optimizer’s calibration wizard, which enables system optimization in a matter of minutes. The wizard creates five presets with different acoustic flavors to get you started. Further fine-tuning is available through a deep set of additional tools, with up to 29 individual presets available for saving custom settings.
Why Room Correction Matters
The Amethyst delivers an outstanding transparent sound and provides a versatile set of features as well as rich connectivity. However, it stands out with its built-in state-of-the-art room correction system to ensure true-to-source sound reproduction in your listening environment.

Sound Stage Amethyst Review & Award (Australia)
Haute Fidélité Reference Status (France)
LowBeats Amethyst Review & Award (Germany)
Amethyst Review & Blue Moon Award 6moons
Trinnov’s Amethyst DAC-preamplifier-processor is one of those rare components that reveal immediate benefits on first hearing. After running the preamp’s Optimizer calibration, I noted a dramatic cleaning-up of bass definition and a related tightening of midrange focus. Soundstage depth improved, and I experienced clarity and precision from even the most densely mixed of my reference tracks.
Sound stage simplifi (USA)
In the end, I loved the Trinnov Amethyst so much that I kept it. Yes, it is fairly expensive, but to me, it was well worth it. For me, it’s also a huge advantage that its flexibility and power allows me to re-calibrate it myself to suit any room or system change. But all that wouldn’t matter one tiny bit if it didn’t sound good. But it most definitely sounds superb. Give it a listen, you may well feel the same.
Soundstage (Australia)
Without the acoustic correction system engaged, the Amethyst already behaves as an excellent preamplifier/converter that does not demerit at all at the price offered. By engaging the acoustic correction system, we discover a whole new world that we had not yet imagined.
VU Métre (France)
It is the concentrated «savoir-faire» hidden in the Trinnov case that is very impressive. To my knowledge, the Optimizer is the most Subtle correction processor that can tell the difference between useful fixes and those that might add problems. If I had to emphasize a single benefit of Amethyst, I would insist on its particular ease of use!

The big hit, apart from the unparalleled Flexibility in signal and memory management, is the Room Correction Optimizer, which lives up to its name. Thanks to three-dimensional acoustics measurement and flawless corrections for timely reproduction, the overall system always sounds fantastic, natural and somehow “right“.
