Quad Artera Play silver

The Artera Play perfectly complements the sonic realism and power of the Artera Stereo. Their simply superb facades conceal technology including a fully digital/analog compatible preamplifier capable of ultra-high resolution playback up to 32-bit/384 kHz, in addition to DSD 64/128/256 files, thanks to its USB input.
