The CS 8.3 and CS 6.3 combine the award-winning technologies of the AVM OVATION series into a high-performance all-in-one master-class device. In terms of features and connectivity, the CS 8.3 and CS 6.3 also offer a complete selection: all common 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, each offering 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 fidelity and spatiality. This makes completely relaxed, long-term listening a matter of course – and with all genres of music. The extremely powerful output stages of the CS 8.3 and CS 6.3 deliver up to 500 watts per channel, meaning any loudspeaker can be chosen and driven with ease, at any desired volume level.

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 mounted on an easily replaceable plug-in module. Even today, this quad D/A converter can transform digital signals of up to 384kHz/32bit and 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 – both models are therefore prepared for the future today.

Special attention was also paid to the authentic reproduction of CDs. The acoustically encapsulated 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 impress with their appearance, which is reduced to the essentials. The perfectly crafted brushed aluminum housing is joined without visible screws, housing the technology of the CS 8.3 and CS 6.3 in a solid aluminum chassis. This elaborate multi-chamber construction protects individual parts of the complex electronics from unwanted interference or sound-degrading crosstalk. Precision is prioritized in every detail. The chrome-plated knobs, including the shafts, are turned from a single solid piece and 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 at their glowing work. 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 solid 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.
