ARCAM - SA10 Integrated Amplifier

Extreme Efficiency, Clear Signal Paths, and a Conservatively Rated 50Wpc: Sonically Minded Arcam SA10 Integrated Amplifier Also Has Built-In MM Phono Preamplifier and SABRE DAC Chipset
Efficiency can only come with providing a clear signal path to preserve the integrity of the audio signal. The Arcam SA10 integrated amplifier follows such a philosophy, with the legendary British manufacturer going to great lengths to employ hand-selected components and over-performing power supplies in a convenient unit that turns music (and movies) into lasting memories. Boasting extremely efficient Class A/B amplification, the conservatively rated 50Wpc SA10 drives speakers with panache and includes an arsenal of connectivity for modern and traditional sources. A total of five analog inputs even accounts for a built-in MM phono preamplifier, while three digital inputs allow you to hook up computers or home-automation systems. SA10 can also sync with your local network and be controlled remotely.
Bolstered by an audiophile-grade 32-bit SABRE ESS9016K2M DAC chipset, SA10 plays music with a smoothness and finesse, impact and urgency that belie its size and price point. Its measured specs extend to a ridiculously low total harmonic distortion/noise ratio and speak to its quiet operation. An onboard front-panel headphone input, 3.5mm auxiliary input, three digital filters, full I/P control, and remote control pile one the value afforded by a sonically minded integrated whose alias could very well be "best in class.
