Confident and controlled, it conveys all the details, the size, the feeling, and the complexity of any piece of music. With precise timing and an expert understanding of the score and the musicians, the conductor makes the music sound exactly as it should. It masters quiet jazz, stadium rock, and everything in between. The P30A is the best conductor you will ever meet.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The P30A is our reference preamplifier. We have nicknamed it \"The Conductor\" because its job is to control the power amplifier with a signal that is as close to the music as possible. In our opinion, the preamplifier is the most critical component in a great-sounding system, and it is also the most difficult to realize. The very low-gain signals coming from the source can easily be corrupted, so comprehensive technical know-how and sophisticated engineering are required to ensure that the signal remains the same all the way through the preamplifier. With the P30A, we have used all our skills to achieve exactly that.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e First, we use matched-pair FET transistors that have no higher-order harmonic distortion. Within any batch of transistors, there will always be slight variations in measurements. That may be within what is considered normal variation, but for sensitive electronics like this, that is simply not good enough. That is why Hegel's founder and chief engineer, Bent, measures the transistors so that they have exactly the same values. Perfectly matched transistors are of paramount importance to the preamplifier's performance and ensure that the P30A sounds very smooth and natural without compromising on detail. Furthermore, the internal layout is designed so that the signal paths within the preamplifier are as short as possible. This reduces the possibility of distortion from electrical interference. To further reduce distortion, we also minimize the number of electrical components that the signal passes through. In the P30A, the music signal passes through only two transistors and an ultra-low-noise volume attenuator. The P30A also uses Hegel's patented SoundEngine technology. This actively monitors the music signal for interference and corrects intermodulation distortion using a feed-forward design. The SoundEngine eliminates distortion in real time while the signal is being amplified.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e All these steps result in a preamplifier that is very quiet and handles the sensitive, low-amplitude music signal as gently as possible. Nevertheless, signal distortion can still occur, but the P30A has another feature that prevents this. The P30A is fully balanced throughout. This means that you have two separate amplifiers, volume controls, and SoundEngine modules per channel. This design eliminates almost all residual distortion, providing you with a signal that is as close as possible to the original material.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The P30A offers a wide range of inputs and outputs. It has 2 balanced (XLR) and 3 unbalanced (RCA) inputs, as well as a fixed-level home theater input that allows for integration into a home theater system. This input can also be configured as a normal input. On the other side, one balanced (XLR) and two unbalanced (RCA) variable outputs are available, all of which are active, allowing you to connect multiple devices simultaneously. One of the unbalanced RCA outputs can even be configured as a fixed-volume output. The P30A also features a 3.5mm IR direct input and a 12V trigger output. Taken together, it all results in an extremely versatile, ultra-quiet, and natural-sounding preamplifier that can be the heart of any high-end audio system. The P30A is a truly brilliant conductor for all music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hegel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40426813948113,"sku":null,"price":7995.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/9791\/5345\/products\/01_3ac3d163-b60c-4867-8033-dac7aa37806e.jpg?v=1636037580"},{"product_id":"hegel-p20","title":"Hegel P20","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe P20 is our entry-level preamplifier, offering an affordable gateway to the Hegel Reference product line. The design of the P20 was not a task we took lightly. Many of the ideas and concepts were adopted from its big brother.

There are a total of 5 regular inputs, both balanced and unbalanced. Furthermore, a dedicated home theater input allows for integration into home theater systems.

Above all, however, it was intended to set a new standard for price and performance in preamplifiers. We believe we have achieved that. The preamplifier is perhaps the most sensitive device in a sound system. Because signal levels are so low, even the smallest noise or distortion smears the image and obscures the small details that bring music to life.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In developing the P20, we achieved the highest sound quality at such a low price point through the use of brand-new technologies, such as silicon-germanium transistors.

In August 2020, the NAD M33 was released, a brand-new high-end streaming integrated amplifier that is the first in the world to work with the innovative new Purifi Eigentakt™ technology, promptly winning the EISA Award as the best \"smart amplifier 2020\/21.\"\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e With the new C 298 stereo power amplifier, NAD now aims to make the unique Purifi Eigentakt™ amplifier technology accessible to a wider audience.

This phenomenon, known as hysteresis, is clearly responsible for the known sonic losses of conventional digital amplifiers. By modifying the output stage and utilizing the clever algorithms of the Eigentakt technology, Purifi succeeded in significantly reducing hysteresis effects. Another advantage of the Eigentakt™ power stages is that they are completely insensitive to changing speaker loads. Their extremely low output impedance also results in a very high damping factor, which manifests in absolutely clean and controlled bass reproduction.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Enormous power reserves\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Instead of old-fashioned linear power supplies and Class AB amplifiers, which convert almost half of the required energy into heat rather than power, NAD now uses only switching power supplies and Class D output stages in its current amplifiers.

The C 298 features balanced inputs, ensuring it is ready for professional studio use and connection to high-end preamplifiers and processors. Thanks to its variable input sensitivity, the C 298 integrates perfectly into setups with other amplifiers or active speakers and subwoofers—the required line-level preamplifier output is already included in the feature set. A sensitivity-adjustable auto-power-on function facilitates the operation of complex systems and allows for concealed operation of the amplifier. The ground terminal prevents ground loops and hum interference in audio systems with multiple amplifiers. Finally, if required, the C 298 can also be operated in bridged mode, turning it into an astonishingly powerful monoblock amplifier. Start with one C 298 and add a second later when you upgrade your speaker system.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Fundamental requirements\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e It is surprising how many seemingly advanced products on the market today often fail to meet even the basic requirements for reliable and high-fidelity operation.

Like all BluOS-enabled components, the M66 features full MQA decoding and rendering capabilities.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e With BluOS, you can listen to music in a single room or share music across your home network with up to 63 additional BluOS-enabled components from NAD and other hardware partners. The M66 integrates easily into home control systems from Control4, Crestron, ELAN, RTI, URC, and others. Listeners can also control playback via voice using Amazon Alexa or Apple Siri.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Perfect response\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Integrated into the M66 are Dirac Live Room Correction and Dirac Live Bass Control. Connect the supplied calibrated microphone to the M66's USB port, then launch the Dirac Live app on a smart device or PC. The app guides you through the calibration process and then generates correction filters that compensate for acoustic problems such as standing waves and unwanted reflections. You will benefit from tighter bass, improved tonal accuracy, significantly better clarity, and focused imaging.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e As the first stereo component to do so, the M66 features four balanced and four unbalanced subwoofer outputs and is equipped with Dirac Live Bass Control, which allows for independent calibration of multiple subwoofers. Dirac Live Bass Control optimizes subwoofer output in both the frequency and time domains, ensuring a seamless blend between subwoofer(s) and main speakers and providing even, consistent bass response across the entire listening area, not just in the sweet spot.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Ultimate performance\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e At the heart of the M66's digital section are ESS Technology's Sabre DAC and ADC chips. These audiophile designs are known for their exceptionally wide dynamic range, ultra-low noise and distortion, and outstanding time-domain performance.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The M66 is the first component to feature NAD's innovative Dynamic Digital Headroom (DDH) circuitry. When enabled in the BluOS app, DDH eliminates digital inter-sample peak clipping distortion that can occur during digital-to-analog conversion with sudden high-frequency transients. The benefits are most noticeable with percussion instruments: rimshots are punchier but less shrill; cymbals sound more realistic and less splashy.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e For volume control, the M66 uses a high-precision resistor ladder circuit. Compared to traditional analog circuits, the M66's digital volume control significantly reduces thermal and associated distortion, maximizes dynamic range, and provides more precise left-right channel matching across the entire volume range.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e By default, analog signals are converted to digital signals so that features like Dirac Live Room Correction and Bass Control are available for all sources. However, the M66 has a selectable Analog Direct mode that bypasses all digital processing, as well as separate signal paths for analog and digital sources. Internally, the analog and digital sections are physically separated and shielded by their own power supplies, so analog signals are not affected by digital interference when Analog Direct mode is activated. Using the BluOS app, you can even disable the M66’s Wi-Fi and Bluetooth circuitry to prevent RF interference.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Connect everything\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e With its numerous analog and digital inputs, the M66 can accommodate all your source components. Vinyl enthusiasts will appreciate the M66's ultra-quiet MM\/MC phono stage, which features precise RIAA equalization, high overload margins, and innovative circuitry that suppresses infrasonic noise, which is always present in vinyl playback, without affecting bass response. For TV and movie playback, there is an HDMI eARC port for connecting to an HDTV. Other options include two coaxial and two optical S\/PDIF inputs, a balanced AES\/EBU digital input, two pairs of RCA line-level analog inputs, and a pair of balanced XLR inputs.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In addition to unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR outputs for connection to a power amplifier, the M66 features four unbalanced RCA and four balanced XLR subwoofer outputs. The M66’s dedicated headphone amplifier has a very low output impedance and very high maximum output voltage, allowing it to drive even demanding high-impedance studio monitor headphones. The M66 also features Bluetooth connectivity with support for the AAC, LDAC, and aptX HD codecs.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Forward to the future\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The Masters M66 represents the pinnacle of what is technically achievable today in a two-channel preamplifier and will maintain its technological lead for decades to come. On the rear panel are two expansion slots that support MDC2, the latest generation of NAD's future-proof Modular Design Construction technology. As technologies evolve, M66 owners can add new features by simply inserting an MDC2 module into one of the slots.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Everything about the NAD Masters M66 BluOS Streaming DAC-Preamplifier is intended to inspire pride of ownership: the beautiful 7-inch touchscreen, the elegant aluminum chassis, and the silky-smooth digital volume control.

For this, the PA 8.2 was already awarded a multitude of reference titles and awards worldwide and serves numerous musicians as their monitoring instrument, as well as serving as a permanent reference for renowned specialist magazines and editorial teams. The new PA 8.3 will certainly follow in the footsteps of its predecessor.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The mono and stereo power amplifiers of the AVM OVATION flagship series have long ranked among the best power amplifiers in the world. Thus, the demand for a 100% perfect-fit PA 8.3 preamplifier was once again enormously high and yet simple at the same time: It had to be perfect. And yet, in realizing the third generation of our analog and modular OVATION flagship preamplifier, we were not just interested in defending the title as one of the world's best preamplifiers: Instead, we have conceived numerous new technologies over the last few years, and our experienced engineers have made use of the latest and best components to get even closer to our sonic ideal. The motto: The best is just good enough!\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e To push the limits even further, we set out to build a preamplifier that can also grow long-term in the face of rapidly developing computer hi-fi (as we call it) and the increasing demands on traditional analog amplifiers. Thus, the PA 8.3 is based on a completely new modular design. As with the first generation of the 8-series preamplifier, this modular concept makes it possible to continue expanding the PA 8.3 with additional plug-in modules according to personal requirements and to adapt it to individual needs or to easily upgrade with the latest technological modules. The appearance of the PA 8.3 is precisely matched to all power amplifiers in the OVATION flagship series.\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The modular concept of the OVATION PA 8.3\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The PA 8.3 consists of two parts: the base unit and the modules. The base unit carries the newly developed and elaborate linear power supply as well as the processor-based control for all functions and all modules, which can be combined in virtually any way and configured for individual requirements. The base unit automatically detects which plug-in modules are installed and independently adjusts all menu functions of the base unit. The addition of further modules, an exchange, or the swapping of modules on the back of the PA 8.3 thus becomes child's play and can be carried out quickly and with just a few simple steps.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AVM","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":45537130053900,"sku":"","price":10990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":45537130086668,"sku":"","price":10990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cellini Chrome","offer_id":45579381309708,"sku":"","price":12380.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/9791\/5345\/files\/11_ceb5baa3-e75b-4c97-ba89-30e06443c0c7.jpg?v=1715078905"},{"product_id":"avm-mp-5-3","title":"AVM MP 5.3","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MP 5.3 \u0026amp; MP 3.3 at a glance\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e X-STREAM Engine® for HiRes streaming DSD, controllable via RC X App (iOS \u0026amp; Android)\n\u003cbr\u003e Prepared for Spotify Connect, QOBUZ, TIDAL Connect, web radio (upgradable)\n\u003cbr\u003e ROON Ready\n\u003cbr\u003e Bluetooth 5.0\n\u003cbr\u003e AirPlay 2\n\u003cbr\u003e HDMI (ARC) input\n\u003cbr\u003e 2 digital inputs (SPDIF coax \u0026amp; optical)\n\u003cbr\u003e Signal-sensing inputs for automatic power-on\n\u003cbr\u003e USB A for external hard drives (NTFS \u0026amp; FAT)\n\u003cbr\u003e AVM multiroom function RoomConneXion®\n\u003cbr\u003e 2 digital outputs (SPDIF, optical), volume optional adjustable\n\u003cbr\u003e 2 analog outputs (RCA \u0026amp; XLR), switchable fixed out  variable out\n\u003cbr\u003e Volume control is purely analog\n\u003cbr\u003e 1 analog line out (fixed level)\n\u003cbr\u003e Pure CD drive with slot-in (Red-Book)\n\u003cbr\u003e Signal processing with selected Double-Quad DAC for 384\/32 PCM (ESS 9028PRO) as well as DSD 256\n\u003cbr\u003e Tone control and parametric loudness with bypass function (also via RC X App)\n\u003cbr\u003e Dimmable graphic display with touchpoint sensor system and proximity sensor\n\u003cbr\u003e Extensive menu functions (individual input naming)\n\u003cbr\u003e Aluminum silver, brushed black, or as CELLINI version with chrome front (surcharge)\n\u003cbr\u003e Trigger in, IR sensor, 2 x trigger out\n\u003cbr\u003e Minimal stand-by consumption\n\u003cbr\u003e Compact design: 43cm width, 33cm depth, 12cm height,\n\u003cbr\u003e Housing variants:\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e EVOLUTION MP 5.3\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The special feature of the EVOLUTION MP 5.3 is its Tube Line Stage.

The new software includes new features and bug fixes. In the coming months and years, Mytek plans to add alternative players such as UPnP, Spotify, and Tidal Connect, as well as features like Apple AirPlay.
