Nuprime IDA-16 silver

Developed by one of the founders of NuForce, the NuPrime IDA-16 amp features cutting-edge technologies. It is a digital amplifier delivering 200W (8 Ω) per channel.

This amplifier is also a top-tier DAC. The conversion is handled by the excellent Sabre ESS 9018 DAC, capable of decoding DSD streams natively.

The amplification is a proprietary Class D digital amplification. It has a pass-through function, so it can act as a power amplifier.

In terms of connectors, it has RCA, optical, coaxial, and USB-B with the highly regarded XMOS USB controller.
