Quad has announced the Platina Integrated, its "finest-ever integrated amplifier", after five years of development.
The Platina Integrated is a dual-mono Class A/B amplifier, delivering 200wpc into 8 Ohms and 300wpc into 4 Ohms.
A massive, ultra-low-noise 630VA toroidal transformer, also specially designed for the Platina Integrated, combines with a large filter capacity in the power supply (44,000uF per channel) and cascaded voltage regulators in the analogue and digital sections to uphold QUAD’s reputation for musical integrity.
The amplifier features six digital inputs, including 2 x coaxial, 2 x TOSLINK, USB-C (DSD512, 768kHz PCM), and HDMI ARC.
