In the MP 3.3, the X-STREAM Engine® works alongside a Pure CD slot-in drive and a double-quad DAC: four ESS9028PRO converters per channel run in parallel, extracting every last bit of detail from each file.

Ahead of it runs the same powerful digital section as in the MP 3.3: X-STREAM Engine®, Pure CD slot-in drive and a double-quad DAC with four ESS9028PRO converters per channel.

Digitally you take in HDMI ARC plus one optical and one coaxial input each; on the analog side you output via XLR or RCA, fixed or level-controlled as you choose.

Let's be honest: if you listen uncompromisingly neutral or would rather save the extra cost, go for the MP 3.3, technically closely related, just transistor-based. If you listen a lot through headphones, factor in a separate headphone amp, since there's no headphone jack here. The Cellini Chrome front costs extra; sonically it gives away nothing to Black or Silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the Cellini Chrome version and the standard version?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, nothing. Cellini Chrome is the chrome-plated front variant available at an extra cost and is purely a matter of looks.

A replacement, if ever needed, is only due after a very long service life. If you have questions about this, our technician Mauri is always happy to help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the MP 5.3 and the MP 3.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its core, the preamp: the MP 5.3 uses a tube line stage and is recognizable by its glass lid, while the MP 3.3 is purely transistor-based behind a closed aluminum lid and sounds neutral and precise. CD drive, double-quad DAC, streaming and connections are shared by both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect headphones to the MP 5.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the MP 5.3 has no headphone jack. You solve this with a separate headphone amp connected to the variable pre-out or the fixed line-out – which suits the tube character nicely anyway. We're happy to tell you which one fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Evolution MP 5.3 in Cellini Chrome from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause tube or transistor, and the right shell to go with it, is a matter of taste that deserves proper advice – not a guess.

AVM itself describes the 8.3 models as harmonic and spacious, the 6.3 transistor versions as clear and precise – a matter of character, not a ranking. Day to day, the tube reveals itself through one small detail: according to the manual, switch-on takes around 30 seconds longer than with the MP 6.3 because of the warm-up phase. Ahead of it sits the same digital section: a TEAC Pure CD slot-in drive, PCM up to 384 kHz \/ 32 bit and DSD128 via asynchronous, galvanically isolated USB-B, two digital filters and selectable up-\/downsampling. It's built at the AVM factory in Malsch, where the device is listed as a media player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull networking with tube character: Roon Ready, Apple AirPlay, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, HIGHRESAUDIO and UPnP music servers run over LAN or Wi-Fi, web radio and podcasts entirely without a paid subscription. On the digital input side there are two coaxial, two optical, one USB-B and one AES\/EBU connection – six in total, individually counted, and no HDMI. A USB-A socket takes a stick or hard drive. Analogue output continues via XLR and RCA, either fixed or via the device's own control from 0 to 100 dB. Headphones and analogue sources stay out of the picture – there simply are no sockets for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the MP 8.3 suited for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe right choice if you want modern streaming but don't want to miss the tube's warmth at the output. Plain talk: if you listen uncompromisingly neutral, the MP 6.3 saves you money with no loss of function – the equipment is identical apart from the line stage. If you want to bring in vinyl or headphones, you need additional devices either way. Here, sound preference decides, not the spec sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MP 8.3 takes the versatile digital base of the MP 6.3 and gives it character with the 803 T stage.

The connection list in the AVM manual names two coaxial S\/PDIF, two optical Toslink, one asynchronous USB-B and one AES\/EBU input. Added to that are a USB-A socket for storage media and an input for an external infrared control signal. The manual doesn't list an HDMI or ARC connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat output level does the MP 8.3 deliver, and do headphones fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe output level is switchable: in VARIABLE mode you adjust it on the device from 0 to 100 dB and drive a power amplifier or active speakers directly, in FIXED VOL mode it sits fixed at 2.5 volts at LINE OUT. The MP 8.3 has no headphone output – for that, you need a separate headphone amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much power does the MP 8.3 use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the AVM manual, less than 1.2 watts in standby and less than 3.3 watts in network standby, under 23 watts idling and a maximum of 60 watts. The tube line stage needs around 30 seconds of warm-up time, so the device starts up a little more slowly than the MP 6.3 with its transistor stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the MP 8.3 and the Ovation SD and CS models?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CD drive and the power amplifier. The MP 8.3 has a TEAC Pure slot-in drive on board and is listed by AVM as a media player, the Ovation SD 8.3 is the streaming preamplifier without a drive but with a headphone amplifier, and the Ovation CS 8.3 is an all-in-one with a built-in power amplifier.

The SD 8.3 routes the signal through a tube stage, the SD 6.3 stays fully transistor-equipped throughout. Measurement-wise this shows up in distortion and bandwidth: below 0.02% and 5 Hz to 30 kHz on the 8.3, below 0.001% and up to over 70 kHz on the 6.3. Converter, streaming and connections are identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the AVM Ovation SD 8.3 a CD player?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, it doesn't have a drive. “SD” stands for Streaming \u0026amp; DAC. Anyone wanting to play CDs should get the Ovation MP 8.3: the same preamp with tube stage, but according to the AVM manual with an additional CD drive. Alternatively, you connect a separate drive to one of the digital inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a power amplifier for the SD 8.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The SD 8.3 is a pure preamplifier and outputs its regulated signal via pre out or XLR, with up to 5.4 V. Behind it belongs a power amplifier or a pair of active speakers. Two 12 V switching outputs automatically wake the power amplifier along with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a remote control included with the SD 8.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. According to the AVM manual, the scope of delivery comprises the unit, two Wi-Fi antennas and a mains cable. AVM explicitly lists the RC 9 with colour display as available as an option. Day to day, you mostly control the unit via the free RC X app or directly on the device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect headphones to the SD 8.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. There's a Class-A headphone amplifier on the front with a 6.3 mm jack, 15 Ω output impedance, gain factor 3.0 and up to 6.5 V output level at one percent distortion. That's enough for the vast majority of HiFi headphones. For extreme impedances, it's best to talk to us first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the SD 8.3 support HiRes via USB?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. According to the AVM manual, the USB-B input accepts PCM up to 384 kHz at 32-bit as well as DSD128, so you can connect a PC or Mac directly. Coaxial runs up to 192 kHz\/24-bit, optical up to 96 kHz\/24-bit. The USB-A port reads sticks and hard drives in FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the converter be upgraded later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. AVM offers the OVATION S-DAC converter module, which according to the manufacturer can be retrofitted into the SD, MP and CS models of the .2 and .3 Ovation series. It's built around an ESS9038PRO with Bi-Quad output. We clarify the installation beforehand based on your serial number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe product photos say “SD 8.2” – is that the right item?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Our photos are still from the previous generation and show “SD 8.2” on the display. What's offered and delivered is the current SD 8.3 in black with tube line stage and the specifications listed above. We'll replace them with new manufacturer photos as soon as they're available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Ovation SD 8.3 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause with a tube unit, the whole chain decides the result.

The PAS 30.3 combines AVM's own X-STREAM Engine® with a selected ESS 9038Q2M converter and a full-fledged phono stage for MM and MC cartridges. The real trick lies in the volume control: it works entirely in the analogue domain, so a signal arriving as analogue is never digitised.

Web radio and network files also run without a paid subscription. Add MM\/MC phono for the turntable, two high-level RCA inputs (one switchable as a home-cinema throughput), one each of HDMI ARC, optical and coaxial, plus a USB-A port. Output comes via a regulated pre out and a fixed line out, both on RCA; the headphone output with 6.3 mm jack sits on the front.

Plain talk: the PAS 30.3 is a preamplifier, not an integrated amplifier – without a power amplifier (such as the AVM MA 30.3 MK2) and speakers, or without active speakers, it stays silent. Connections are RCA throughout; if you absolutely need a balanced XLR link to the power amplifier, this isn't the right unit, and you should look further into the Ovation line instead.

Web radio and network files also run without a paid subscription. Add MM\/MC phono, two high-level RCA inputs (one switchable as a home-cinema throughput), and one input each for HDMI ARC, optical, coaxial and USB-A. Output comes via a regulated pre out and a fixed line out, both on RCA; the headphone output with 6.3 mm jack sits on the front.

The PAS 30.3 combines AVM's own X-STREAM Engine® with a selected ESS 9038Q2M converter and a full-fledged phono stage for MM and MC cartridges. The real trick lies in the volume control: it works entirely in the analogue domain, so a signal arriving as analogue is never digitised. Anyone who has heard what cheap digital pots do to the last quiet steps knows to appreciate that effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wealth of sources in one chassis: streaming via AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, Qobuz (our HiFi partner since 2018), Tidal Connect MAX, HighResAudio, web radio and UPnP\/DLNA, over LAN or Wi-Fi, plus Bluetooth 5.0 LE – high-resolution up to 384 kHz\/32-bit and DSD256. Web radio and network files also run without a paid subscription. Add MM\/MC phono for the turntable, two high-level RCA inputs (one switchable as a home-cinema throughput), one each of HDMI ARC, optical and coaxial, plus a USB-A port. Output comes via a regulated pre out and a fixed line out, both on RCA; the headphone output with 6.3 mm jack sits on the front.

Plain talk: the PAS 30.3 is a preamplifier, not an integrated amplifier – without a power amplifier (such as the AVM MA 30.3 MK2) and speakers, or without active speakers, it stays silent. Connections are RCA throughout; if you absolutely need a balanced XLR link to the power amplifier, this isn't the right unit, and you should look further into the Ovation line instead. Anyone wanting a CD drive in the same unit should get the AVM MP 30.3; anyone wanting everything including the power amplifier should get an integrated amplifier such as the AVM AS 30.3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStreaming, a good converter, a genuine phono stage and headphone amplifier in a cleanly built, analogue-controlled preamp.

The record then plays in every room with a BluOS player, and you don't have to swap any cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Hub have an analog output or a headphone output?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, neither. The Hub outputs its signal exclusively over the network to BluOS players. That's why it has neither a fixed nor a variable audio output, nor a headphone jack. If you're looking for a phono stage for your amplifier, a classic phono preamp is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Hub bring TV sound into the multiroom system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, via HDMI eARC. The TV sound lands wirelessly on your BluOS speakers, and thanks to CEC you control the volume with the TV remote. That turns your existing Bluesound speakers into your TV sound, without an extra soundbar under the screen and without another device in the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Bluesound Hub at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause integrating old sources into a multiroom system has a few pitfalls in practice, and we know them.

The XLR and RCA outputs ship with a variable level, and you control the volume in the BluOS app or with the remote. That lets the Icon go straight to a power amp or active speakers.

Behind them sits a genuine THX-AAA headphone amplifier delivering 230 mW into 32 ohms – enough even for more demanding models up to 250 ohms. Two jacks also mean you can listen with someone else without hunting for an adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the balanced XLR outputs for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXLR transmits the signal free of interference and hum loops to a power amp or active speakers, with a signal-to-noise ratio of −129 dB instead of −121 dB over RCA.

For short runs, RCA remains a clean solution too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the dual-mono DAC do for you?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe left and right channels each get their own ESS Sabre ES9039Q2M converter with a separate signal path. That lowers crosstalk and noise and produces a wide, clearly layered soundstage – instruments sit cleanly separated in space instead of blurring together. The Icon is also the first device with Qrono D\/A technology from MQA Labs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Node Icon support AirPlay 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. You stream directly from your iPhone, iPad or Mac to the Node Icon and integrate it into an Apple Home setup. Android devices play to it via the BluOS app or Bluetooth. Internet radio and files from your network run without any paid subscription – Tidal or Qobuz are an option, not a requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Bluesound Node Icon at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a device in this class lives or dies by how well it's integrated.

The RCA output ships with variable volume, controlled via the BluOS app or the remote. This lets the Node work as a digital preamp straight into a power amplifier or active speakers. If it's connected to an integrated amplifier, you switch to a fixed level in the audio settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow good is the Node's headphone output?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsiderably better than a token jack. The 6.3 mm socket houses a genuine THX AAA amplifier delivering 160 mW at 16 ohms and 230 mW at 32 ohms, still 53 mW at 250 ohms. That drives most hi-fi headphones with ease, though very high-impedance models push it to its limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Node bring TV sound onto the system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, via HDMI eARC. You connect the Node to the TV's eARC port, and the TV sound then runs through your hi-fi chain, with the TV remote controlling the volume too. Compared with most TV speakers, that's a significant step up, especially for dialogue and film scores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNode, Node Icon or Powernode – which one fits?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Node is the source for an existing system. The Node Icon sits a class above with a dual-mono DAC, XLR output and 5-inch display. The Powernode already has the power amplifier built in – so you just connect speakers.

Behind the 6.3 mm socket sits a THX AAA amplifier with error correction, not just a tap off the preamp stage. It delivers 230 mW at 32 ohms while staying very low in distortion. That's easily enough for the vast majority of hi-fi headphones; at 600 ohms it gets tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I bring TV sound onto the system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVia HDMI eARC. One HDMI cable from the TV's eARC port to the Node is enough, and the sound then runs through your system, with the TV remote controlling it too. Series, concerts and films noticeably gain body, and dialogue in particular becomes clearer. A separate AV receiver isn't needed for this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Node need a streaming subscription?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Internet radio, music from your network storage and files from a USB stick run at no ongoing cost, as do AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth. You can add services like Tidal or Qobuz, but you don't have to – the Node remains a fully-fledged source even without a subscription.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Bluesound Node in white from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the white version stands in the living room, not in a technical cabinet – so it's worth thinking placement, cabling and operation through properly.

The Smart Connect takes over exactly the part that's missing: it switches the HDMI sources, decodes Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, and sends the finished 5.1 signal via six RCA outputs to your integrated amp, your power amps or active speakers – nominally at 1 volt, at peak 3.4 volts, adjustable in 70 steps of one decibel each. Music arrives via AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, UPnP or Bluetooth.

It outputs the decoded 5.1 signal via six RCA pre-out outputs, nominally at 1 volt, at maximum 3.4 volts. Behind it you need an integrated amp, a multi-channel power amp or active speakers – so your trusted amplification stays exactly as you like it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do I need the Smart Connect 5.1 S2 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt retrofits an existing system with everything modern sources demand: three HDMI inputs, one HDMI output with eARC, decoders for Dolby Atmos and DTS-HD, plus streaming via AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in and Spotify Connect.

For headphones, use the jack on your integrated amp behind the Smart Connect, or a separate headphone amp connected to its outputs. If headphones are central for you, we'll gladly tell you which combination makes sense in everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a remote control included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The box contains the Smart Connect 5.1 S2, a power cable and the quick guide; Canton offers the Smart remote as separate accessory. In everyday use you mostly control it via the Canton Smart app, the on-screen menu or – thanks to the IR learning function and HDMI-CEC – with your TV's remote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add surround speakers wirelessly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. You can pair up to eight speakers of the Canton Smart series wirelessly, up to a maximum of a 7.1.4 configuration with four Dolby Atmos height channels. Handy when rear or height channels would otherwise mean a cable running across the living room.

The MDE-2 DAC module with reclocking FPGA processes high-resolution PCM and DSD, the MiND2 platform brings streaming directly into the device, and the third generation of the M-VOL3 volume control works purely in the analogue domain – without losing resolution at low levels. The digital and analogue sections are galvanically isolated and built as dual-mono, so they stay out of each other's way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudio-quality streaming via Roon Ready, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Spotify Connect, AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth – and entirely without a mandatory subscription, since the 791 also plays internet radio, local network files and USB storage. For vinyl, a fully configurable MM\/MC phono stage is built in that owes little to external preamps. Via HDMI with ARC you integrate the TV, and the 4.3-inch colour display always shows you what's playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the MOON 791 for? (and who is it not for – honest take)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal if you want to bring streaming and vinyl together under one roof and have had enough of a rack full of separate boxes. Paired with the MOON 761 power amp, it becomes an uncompromising North Collection chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonest take: if you exclusively stream Spotify over Bluetooth in the background, you're buying a concert grand piano for \"Happy Birthday\" – it works, but you'll never tap into the 791's full potential. Leaner streaming solutions exist for that. And active speakers with their own power amp don't need it either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA preamplifier that simultaneously replaces half the system – without leaving anything on the table sonically.
