Flagship NOVA Hybrid Amplification with Dual-Mono Power and Room-Tuning DSP
The Advance Paris A-i190 NOVA Integrated Amplifier brings the company’s hybrid amplifier philosophy into its most ambitious NOVA integrated design. An ECC81 tube preamplifier stage provides the harmonic character associated with Advance Paris electronics, while a high-current Class A/B output section and independent 280VA toroidal transformers for the left and right channels provide the control, scale and dynamic headroom needed for demanding high-end loudspeakers.
Its digital architecture is equally advanced, combining an ESS9017S multichannel DAC with an ADAU1452 four-channel DSP capable of independently managing the main stereo speakers and as many as two powered subwoofers. HDMI eARC, high-resolution USB audio, MM/MC phono, balanced XLR connectivity, dual subwoofer outputs and optional A-NTC network streaming make the A-i190 NOVA a comprehensive centerpiece for premium two-channel and 2.1/2.2 systems.
