Wadia 151PowerDAC
The Wadia 151PowerDAC mini is a sophisticated combination of high performance DAC, surprisingly robust amplifier, and plenty of inputs for today’s digital sources. The 151uses a scaled-down version of proprietary Wadia DigiMaster, and DirectConnect technologies for pristine reconstruction and amplification of all your digital sources. Four selectable digital inputs including USB, Toslink, and (2) coax S/PDIF provide plenty of opportunity to connect a computer, games, and streaming audio sources, as well as your iTransport. This high-resolution digital audio signal is modulated into a conservatively rated 50-watt/4ohm PWM output, and delivered to your loudspeakers using today’s most advanced digital amplification.
PS Audio Trio A100 Power Amplifier
Stereo 100 watt power amplifier into 8 Ohms and 200 into 4 Ohms. Cool running and powerful, this high-value wonderful sounding amplifier is the smallest we build and is powered by the B&O ICE modules. The A100 is wonderfully analog sounding amplifier yet has the efficiency and power of the fabulous ICE amplification system. The A100 is a perfect match for any small to medium requirement pair of loudspeakers and can handle low impedance loads. Perfect for a budget system.
Reminiscent of our classic Stereophile Class A rated HCA-2 power amplifier we built a few years ago, the A-100 is sweet, warm and extremely musical. Just put it in the system, let it burn in overnight and you’ll be amazed at how great everything sounds. And, after a couple of weeks of playing, the A-100 just sings.

Benefits
Rega Exon 3 Mono Block Power Amplifier (pair)
The Exon 3 is a high performance symmetrical circuit power amplifier housed in the new Rega built extruded aluminium case with heat sink. Rega has improved on the original Exon power amplifier but still kept the same level of sonic performance and synergy as the original.
The Exon 3 Amplifier has a fully protected output stage with DC and electronic thermal protection and supply monitor for both transformers. High performance Evox polypropylene capacitors have been used in the signal path. The power supply uses two generously rated toroidal transformers with high-grade core material, combined with 37,600mF of parallel connected smoothing capacitors, providing more than enough current to drive the hardest of loads. All input and driver stages are fed from a fully regulated supply providing a stabilised voltage, ensuring the highest level of sonic purity.

Rega Maia 3 Stereo 85W Power Amplifier
The Maia 3 is an 85 watt per channel high performance audio power amplifier housed in the Rega custom built extruded aluminium case. The amplifier has a fully protected output stage with DC and electronic thermal protection, and a power monitor for both transformers. High quality Evox capacitors have been used in the signal path throughout.
The Maia 3 uses the Rega "common base driver stage" circuit design. Rega used circuit modelling and listening tests to design this amplifier resulting in superb reliability and exceptional sound quality. Sanken 200w output transistors are used in a high current output stage and will drive the most awkward of speaker systems. The power supply uses two generously rated toroidal transformers with 28,200mF of parallel connected smoothing capacitors, which will provide enough current to drive the hardest of loads.

Naim NAP-200 Power Amplifier
During the years of research that went into the NAP 500 amplifier, many technical developments were made that could be successfully applied to the existing products. Many of these developments, along with the elegant new styling have been incorporated, resulting in the ‘Classic’ line-up. Like the flagship NAP 500, the NAP 200 uses a new circuit design with improved earthing arrangements built on a very high quality, anti-resonance main audio circuit board. Anti-vibration, resonance-controlling feet serve to protect the sensitive internal components from resonance and microphonic vibration.
A new, top-quality 430VA toroidal transformer provides more than 300VA of transient power. Separate windings provide dedicated left and right channel rectified supplies with two smoothing capacitors per channel. The NAP 200 also has a separate winding providing a preamplifier power supply. This enables the NAP 200 to be used in a two-box amplifier configuration with a Naim preamplifier such as the NAC 202. The naim NAP 200 is stable into any load and able to drive a 2-ohm load for long periods of time.
