VINSHINE x KINKI STUDIO DAZZLE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER UNVEILED
Vinshine Audio and Kinki Studio have announced their latest flagship integrated amplifier, the Vinshine x Kinki Studio DAZZLE.
Designed as a next-generation reference model, the DAZZLE integrates the company’s most advanced amplification technologies within a precision-engineered chassis that focuses on mechanical stability and resonance control.
VINSHINE X KINKI STUDIO DAZZLE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER
The Vinshine X Kinki Studio Dazzle Integrated Amplifier was unveiled at Hi End Asia Singapore 2025, where Gyula was impressed by it, read more in our report here.
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
The DAZZLE borrows its mechanical structure from Kinki Studio’s 79 Series and features a floating resonance-control design. This construction uses a suspended isolation system that separates the main chassis from its base, helping to guide internal vibration away from sensitive electronic components. Directional energy-drain spike feet are designed to further reduce mechanical interference.
Internally, all circuitry is mounted on 3U gold-plated PCBs, chosen for their high conductivity, low impedance, and long-term stability. The amplifier’s preamp section is built with an ultra-short signal path and a direct connection layout to minimise potential signal loss. An independent voltage servo architecture eliminates DC offset, removing the need for capacitors in the signal path and maintaining a clean, linear response.
VINSHINE X KINKI STUDIO DAZZLE POWER SUPPLY DESIGN
A robust power supply underpins the DAZZLE’s performance. The amplifier employs eight independent power supplies to serve its various control, display, protection, preamplification, and power amplification stages.
At the core are dual 800W low magnetic-loss toroidal transformers that provide a total of 1600W of instantaneous power in a dual-mono configuration. This design minimises magnetic leakage and enhances channel separation, ensuring stable and noise-free current delivery.
Each channel benefits from a capacitor network that combines Vishay MKP film capacitors with Kinki Studio’s custom-tuned reservoir capacitors. This arrangement is designed to provide consistent DC stability, reduced electrical ripple, and improved transient response.
SSCLD MODULE AND OUTPUT STAGE
At the heart of the Vinshine x Kinki Studio DAZZLE is Kinki Studio’s newly developed SSCLD (Super Symmetry Current Linear Drive) module. This proprietary topology is designed to deliver a wide bandwidth, low distortion, and a highly linear response across the frequency range.
The amplifier employs a high-current EXICON MOSFET output array with twelve devices per channel. This configuration provides control and stability, allowing the DAZZLE to manage demanding loudspeakers with authority. The combination of high current capacity and low distortion contributes to consistent dynamics and clarity at all listening levels.
CRYOGENIC TREATMENT
This flagship collaboration introduces a series of component refinements. The DAZZLE incorporates the ShoonTH cryogenically treated fuse and AC inlet, both processed at −196°C to enhance conductivity and reduce microscopic imperfections.
Internal wiring uses Exact Express FLAME Series cables for AC, DC, signal, and loudspeaker connections, helping to minimise resistance and electromagnetic interference. The result is improved signal integrity and reduced background noise.
The speaker binding posts, also from ShoonTH, are constructed from oxygen-free copper, cryo-treated, and plated in layers of copper, silver, palladium, and gold. This process is designed to optimise conductivity and preserve fine musical detail.
VINSHINE X KINKI STUDIO DAZZLE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The Vinshine x Kinki Studio DAZZLE delivers a rated output of 300W per channel into 8Ω and 560W per channel into 4Ω, with both channels driven. Frequency response extends from 10Hz to 30kHz, with a total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) figure of 0.0054 percent and a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 115dB at 1kHz.
Inputs include three RCA and two XLR line-level connections, plus a preamp bypass input. Input impedance is rated at 50kΩ for RCA and 100kΩ for XLR. The output stage features two pairs of 4mm binding posts that are compatible with spade connectors.
The amplifier measures 440 × 410 × 170 mm, including spikes, and weighs 33kg. Power consumption is listed at 0.8W in standby and up to 1600W at maximum output.
True to Kinki Studio’s design philosophy, the DAZZLE places emphasis on precision engineering and component matching. Each element, from the toroidal transformers to the custom capacitors and MOSFET arrays, is selected for consistency and reliability.
The amplifier’s internal layout is designed to minimise cross-interference between stages, ensuring that heat, vibration, and magnetic fields do not compromise audio performance. Combined with the resonance-controlled chassis and internal damping, this structure contributes to the DAZZLE’s low noise floor and stable presentation.
