NOVA A-I130

Hybrid Integrated Amplifier · Tube Warmth. Transistor Authority.

Shipping Q2 2026

The NOVA A-I130 is built on a conviction: nothing replaces the warmth of a tube for reproducing vibrant music. The ECC81 tube preamp stage introduces a harmonic richness that transistors alone cannot provide — a depth of soundstage, a visceral presence. But warmth without control is not high fidelity. The Class AB amplification section, powered by a 380 VA toroidal transformer, takes over with authority. From tube to speaker: absolute coherence.

Key Technologies

ECC81 Tube Preamplifier

The first link in the signal chain. Adds even harmonics imperceptible to measurement but unmistakably audible — enriching vocals, strings, and brass with a deep, spatialized soundstage.

Class AB + 380 VA Toroidal

A single 380 VA toroidal transformer delivers the authority to capture the most demanding dynamics and govern the most recalcitrant speakers with serene ease.

ESS9017S Quad Mode DAC

Merges 8 channels into 4 analog channels of rare purity. Handles PCM 24/192, DSD64, DSD128, and HDMI eARC without alteration — the sound as the artist intended.

4-Channel DSP ADAU1452

Adjusts each speaker — including subwoofers — according to room position. Controlled bass, stable soundstage, studio-quality precision accessible from your amplifier.

Built-in HDMI eARC

Transmits native, unaltered Dolby Atmos and high-res PCM from your TV. Your TV remote controls everything — audiophile performance, intuitive use.

Scalable Architecture

Two expansion slots: A-NTC streaming cartridge and A-BTC Bluetooth dongle (both optional). Your amplifier grows with technology, without becoming obsolete.

ALPS Potentiometer

Linear and precise attenuation — without imbalance or sudden jolts. Its soft, controlled touch invites precision. The NOVA reveals itself as soon as a hand is placed on it.
