Chord Anni

The Chord Electronics Anni is the company's first desktop integrated amplifier, a compact, beautifully machined component that drives both headphones and loudspeakers using Chord's proprietary ULTIMA dual feed-forward error-correction topology, designed to sit alongside the Chord Qutest DAC and Chord Huei phono stage as a complete desktop system. Made in the UK.

Type and Technology

Desktop integrated amplifier, solid-state. ULTIMA dual feed-forward error-correction circuit topology. 10W output power. Two line-level inputs. Headphone outputs: 3.5mm and 6.35mm (both active simultaneously for two-listener use). Loudspeaker outputs: 4mm banana binding posts. Two-stage gain control for loudspeakers. Front-panel volume control doubles as input selector. Made in the UK.

Sound Character

Precise, dynamic, and tonally honest in the Chord tradition. The ULTIMA topology delivers an exceptionally low noise floor and fast transient response. Whether driving headphones or a pair of desktop monitors, the presentation is controlled and detailed with excellent imaging precision.

Build and Finish

Precision-machined aircraft-grade aluminium billet. Compact at 160 x 42.5 x 96.6mm and 625g, purpose-built for desktop use. The Qutest stand system (QSS) provides a matching equipment rack for the full Chord Qutest family.

Best For

Desktop listeners who want a single Chord Electronics component to drive both headphones and compact loudspeakers, particularly as part of a complete system with the Chord Qutest DAC and Chord Huei phono stage.
