Tangent has announced the release of two brand-new products to add to its range of affordable hi-fi components in the compact DAC II and Ampster TV II.

Tangent's DAC II is loaded with a premium Sabre 24-bit Stereo Audio DAC and is pitched as “a solution for anyone who has a traditional amp but now needs a cost-effective, compact pre-amp”. Additionally, the compact component boasts a coaxial, USB, and two optical digital inputs, as well as optical, RCA and XLR balanced outputs.

Thanks to aptX Bluetooth, the DAC can stream music directly from your phone or source player; it also doubles up as a dedicated headphone amplifier via its 6.3mm and 3.5mm headphone sockets.

The diminutive DAC features an intuitive interface and a small-form design that Tangent claims “won't take up too much space in your home or office”. You also get a remote bundled in for when you can't escape the sofa.

Meanwhile, the equally bijous Ampster TV II lands as “the ultimate amplifier to enhance your TV audio”.

Packing Bluetooth 5.0 and an HDMI input, the Ampster TV II is designed to boost your telly's audio output via the unit's 2x50-watt amplifier.

With support for aptX HD, you can use the Ampster TV II's Bluetooth skills to wirelessly squirt tunes from your compatible device.

At the same time, its subwoofer output means you can be assured of plenty of low-frequency foundation for your movies and music.

Both models are available now, with the Tangent DAC II priced at £250 while the Ampster TV II costs £200.
