Mytek's Empire Monoblocks are half rack width 2U tall monoblock power amplifiers designed to match the Empire Streamer cosmetically and sonically. Careful consideration went into their design with the aim to create the best sounding complete playback system to be paired with the highest resolution monitor speakers for a world class sound only Mytek Electronics can deliver. The heart of Empire Monoblocks is the newly designed Mytek Ganfet Power Module utilizing the newest range of ultra fast Gallium Nitride transistors. Because of the wonders of GanFET technology, distortion resulting from transistor switching are reduced by magnitudes, thus allowing a very gentle negative feedback and triode like behaviour of the output stage transfer characteristic.
The resulting sound has a silky top and beautiful midrange with a 3D sound stage and detail, just like with the best tubes, yet it retains the tight bass, control and dynamics of a large transistor amplifier.

Mytek began building consumer-oriented DACs in 2011, and now boasts a full line of home hi-fi products named for New York boroughs and landmarks, like the flagship Empire Streamer DAC, and new all-in-one Brooklyn Bridge II Roon Core. Mytek designs their DACs to a strictly neutral reference, such that the signal on the recording is passed through as accurately as possible to the downstream equipment.
