The CS 8.3 and CS 6.3 combine the award-winning technologies of the AVM OVATION series in a high-fidelity, master-class all-in-one device. In terms of features and connectivity, the CS 8.3 and CS 6.3 also offer a complete selection: all current streaming formats are supported, and a CD drive is also on board. A large selection of additional analog and digital connection options is also available.

The two close relatives, the CS 6.3 and CS 8.3, differ only in their amplifier sections and each offers something very special: the CS 6.3 is based on the highest-quality, pure transistor technology in all amplification stages, while the OVATION Line tube stages of the CS 8.3 conjure up a pleasant, warm, and natural sound image. All details are reproduced with unprecedented realism and spaciousness, making completely relaxed long-term listening a matter of course—across all genres of music. The extremely powerful power amplifiers of the CS 8.3 and CS 6.3 deliver up to 500 watts per channel, so any speaker can be selected and driven with ease at any desired volume.

In both models, the modular design principle of the OVATION Line is applied for the first time in an all-in-one device. For example, the D/A converter is housed on an easily replaceable plug-in module. Even today, this quad D/A converter can transform digital signals up to 384kHz/32bit as well as DSD formats into analog music signals that correspond practically exactly to the original. Digital music reproduction is subject to rapid change and progress. Should new digital formats or higher resolutions become available one day, the D/A converter can be easily upgraded. This makes the hardware of the CS 8.3 and CS 6.3 upgradeable as well—meaning both models are already prepared for the future.

Special attention was also paid to the authentic reproduction of CDs. The acoustically shielded slot-in PureCD drive is spring-mounted and thus efficiently protected against disturbing vibrations.

In terms of design, the CS 8.3 and CS 6.3 also follow the best AVM tradition and captivate with their appearance reduced to the essentials. The perfectly crafted brushed aluminum housing is assembled without visible screws, housing the technology of the CS 8.3 and CS 6.3 in a massive aluminum chassis. This elaborate multi-chamber construction protects individual parts of the complex electronics from unwanted interference or sound-degrading crosstalk. Precision is emphasized in every detail. The chrome-plated knobs, including their shafts, are turned from a single piece of solid material and are then held in position by ball bearings. Through the glass in the lid of the CS 8.3 and CS 6.3, the tube stages can be observed as they glow during operation. Like all components of the OVATION Line, the CS 8.3 and CS 6.3 are delivered in an AVM flight case.

Both silver and black are available as standard versions; a massive chrome front is optionally available for an additional charge. The chrome knobs can also be chosen in other finishes upon request. Other individual finishes are possible on request.
