AVM 30 AS 30.3 Integrated Amplifier

AS 30.3 Integrated Amplifier SRP: $5499.99 in black/silver, $6499.99 in Cellini AVM 30.3: Integrated Amplifier with Streaming Functionality Our AVM 30.3 Neo classics in the tradition of our integrated amplifiers are the modern interpretation of the amplifiers that have been developed uncompromisingly since the early 1990s. Based on the AVM XSTREAM Engine®, the new AS 30.3 integrated amplifier has been created. Numerous innovations have been incorporated and the new RC X APP also controls the AS 30.3 completely. Equipment towers and overflowing cable clutter become superfluous, all modern connections are available, so that even a TV via HDMI ARC can be connected. In order to achieve our goal of constructing one of the most powerful sounding amplifiers in its class, we have miniaturized proven sound technologies and designed them into a compact and slim precision housing. The main focus was on a completely modernized APP control, the RC X app clearly contains all important functions. The simplest, intuitively learnable operation as well as a clear and nicely designed user interface make the management of even large music collections child's play. This makes you want to explore new music on numerous streaming platforms. The AVM RC X app is available for iOS (Apple) or Androidcontrolled devices. The new AVM X-STREAM engine® can stream all high-resolution formats, including DSD (256). This streaming engine is a complete AVM in-house development and is completely software-based, so it can be updated online in a future-proof manner. An HDMI (ARC) interface is also on board as well as the modern Bluetooth connection, further digital inputs and also a USB A interface are standard. Special attention has been paid to the phono input stage for MM and MC.   This high-precision input stage has been completely redesigned for installation in the compact AS 30.3.  This ensures even better sound, especially in combination with our rotation turntables. Completely new are the digital outputs, which can also be volume controlled. The HDMI ARC input can also be used to easily connect and conveniently control TV sets. The AS 30.3 has also made a huge leap in terms of sound. This technological leap is based on the use of a 125W amplifier stage, which effortlessly drives even power-hungry speakers at all volumes. The completely new amplifier stages are based on the large CS 8.3 and have been optimized for use in the compact AS 30.3 housing.  The digital section in AS 30.3 was redesigned from scratch in the course of the new development, because this crucial part of AS 30.3 is basically based on our decades of experience. A selected ESS from the new generation (9038 Q 2 M) is now used as the digital/analogue converter, which is also a clear gain in terms of sound, which benefits all digital sources and reproduces all high-resolution formats perfectly and true to life.  The AS 30.3 are available in the standard colours silver or black, on request also as an elegant CELLINI version with chrome-plated and hand-polished front. Like all AVM devices, the AS 30.3 are manufactured entirely by hand at the factory in Malsch. The vast majority of suppliers are also located in the immediate vicinity. You are welcome to watch our creative process in our 'making-of' video (QR code below). Repeated, intensive quality controls during all production steps and a break-in time of several days for each individual device secure our promise of maximum reliability in the long term and we grant a  2-year warranty on the compact AS, and 2 additional years if you register online.  AS 30.3 in a nutshell All-in-One Streaming Receiver with 2 x 125 W  X-STREAM Engine® for HiRes streaming incl.
