Description
Mark Levinson Nº585.5 is a case where you don’t even need to explain anything. Just say the name and it becomes clear that this is a true legend.
This integrated amplifier embodies everything that Mark Levinson is known for: impeccable engineering, luxurious construction, and a sound that doesn’t just reproduce music—it brings it to life.
At first glance, it’s a reference solid-state integrated amplifier, but once you press “play,” everything changes. The Nº585.5 creates a stage with astonishing depth and space, where every instrument has its own air, texture, and breath. The bass is precise and tight, the midrange is open and natural, and the highs are light, brilliant, but never cold. It’s the kind of sound that doesn’t just impress—it leaves an aftertaste like a well-aged wine.
The 585.5 isn’t just a signal amplifier, it’s also a magnificent studio-grade DAC, designed specifically for the most demanding listeners. It uses a separate section for working with digital sources, including support for DSD and high-resolution PCM, which allows you to reveal modern formats in all their glory.
But the main thing is how this device conveys emotion. It does not add anything superfluous, does not “color” the sound, but simply shows the truth - but in its most beautiful form. This is Levinson at its best: quiet power, uncompromising accuracy and true musicality.
Mark Levinson Nº585.5 is an ideal option for those who want to have one device that can replace both an amplifier and a DAC, and at the same time sound like a real high-end separate path. This is not just a technique - it is a musical instrument created to listen to life in all its nuances.
