AudioControl Bijou 5.1 Channel Compact Receiver with DANTE

The Bijou 5100D leads the Bijou Series range and features Dante audio support as its cherry on top. Five GaN semiconductor channels turbocharge the 5100D into a mini home theater powerhouse. All Bijou Series models decode Dolby Atmos and DTS:X through the HDMI eARC input, with the 5100D having onboard power for surround channels. Dante audio creates a fourth input, fetching any source from the Dante network, providing the Bijou 5100D with uncompressed, near-zero latency multi-room capabilities. Unlike a traditional AVR, the Bijou 5100D can be discretely installed behind large flat-panel displays.
