Hybrid NOVA Amplification with Advanced DSP and Modern Connectivity
The Advance Paris A-i130 NOVA Integrated Amplifier combines the warmth of an ECC81 tube preamplifier with the control and dynamic capability of a powerful Class A/B output stage. A substantial 380VA toroidal transformer supports output of up to 133 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 200 watts per channel into 4 ohms, giving the A-i130 NOVA the power needed to confidently drive a wide range of premium bookshelf and floorstanding loudspeakers.
Its sophisticated digital section pairs an ESS9017S multichannel DAC with an ADAU1452 four-channel DSP, allowing the amplifier to manage the main stereo channels and up to two powered subwoofers with advanced room-tuning capability. HDMI eARC, high-resolution USB audio, MM phono, balanced XLR, optical and coaxial digital inputs, dual subwoofer outputs and optional A-NTC network streaming make the A-i130 NOVA a flexible centerpiece for modern high-performance stereo systems.
