| It is not often that new milestones in audio are set: The Nova is one of those rare products that fit well into this elite category of firsts. Nova should be considered if you’re looking to improve computer-based or streaming audio to a “high-end” performance level; or if you just need a "new millennium integrated amplifier". The Nova is a world class 80wpc integrated amplifier with enough digital and analog inputs and outputs to satisfy all the new digital devices, plus, it can handle a few of the old dogs like turntables (w/external phono preamp), tuners, etc.. It performs much like a high-end integrated amplifier because that’s what it is. However, this versatile piece also makes a great pre-amp or with its class A fixed out, a Stereophile stand-alone DAC that will allow you to finally add a Mac mini or other computer to your exising system. Or you may want to take advantage of the out on your cable box... Whether it’s digital or analog, the Nova is engineered for the way you listen today. Now all the time, effort, and money you’ve spent ripping CDs and downloading music is rewarded with truly incredible sound. Even radio stations and compressed MP3 files take on new life through the Nova. So if you like to rip or download…go for it. If you want to transfer your music from your computer to another room, we have you covered. If it's digital, you pick it, we’ll make it sound great. |
