Advanced Paris - A-i130 NOVA
Reference Hybrid Integrated Amplifier
The NOVA A-I130 is based on the conviction that nothing replaces the warmth of tubes to reproduce live music. The ECC81 tube preamplification stage introduces harmonic richness that transistors alone cannot offer—a soundstage depth, a carnal presence to the sound. But uncontrolled heat is not high fidelity. That's why the Class AB amplification section, powered by a 380 VA toroidal transformer, takes over with authority—capturing the most demanding dynamics, controlling the most recalcitrant speakers. Downstream, the 4-channel DSP ADAU1452 and the ESS9017S DAC in Quad mode ensure that none of this precision is lost along the way. From tube to speaker: absolute coherence.
4-channel DSP ADAU1452
Your room influences the sound: dimensions, materials, geometry. The NOVA's 4-channel DSP adjusts each speaker—drivers and woofers—according to its position. The result: controlled bass, a stable soundstage, and speakers that take a back seat to the music. Studio precision, accessible from your amplifier. Your music stays the same. Your space, however, reveals it.
DAC ESS9017S Quad Mode
Your audio file has a history: recording, mastering, various formats. NOVA preserves it. Its ESS9017S DAC, in Quad mode, merges 8 channels into 4 analog paths of rare purity—reduced noise, expanded dynamic range, and restored micro-details. It handles all formats (PCM 24/192, DSD, HDMI eARC) without alteration. Listening: sound as the artist intended. No compromises.
