Proprietary jitterreduction circuitry and user-selectable digital filters—seven choices for PCM and four for DSD—along with ample regulated power enable the best possible digital reproduction.

The No5101 offers a variety of digital inputs, including one coaxial and one optical S/PDIF, one USB-A for playback from a flash drive, a CD/SACD transport, and network streaming via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

Applying proprietary Mark Levinson PurePath circuitry, the No5101 features fully discrete, direct- coupled, dual-monaural line-level output circuit for exceptional reproduction of the analog signal. A linear power supply with an oversized toroidal transformer dedicated to the analog circuitry ensures the lowest noise and widest dynamic range possible.
