Advance Paris does it differently and builds a real Class AB power stage with a linear power supply into the MyConnect 60, instead of the usual Class D budget solution – plus a proven Wolfson WM8740 converter. The result sounds like grown-up hi-fi, not a kitchen radio with ambitions. The trade press saw it similarly: hifitest.de crowned the MyConnect 60 a «worry-free package» in its 2020 test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA complete system that only needs speakers: the built-in CD drive, DAB+ and FM radio, internet radio via TuneIn, plus streaming from Spotify, Deezer, Tidal and Qobuz – via app, AirPlay or Bluetooth. Add two optical and one coaxial digital input, three analog inputs (one switchable to Phono MM for your turntable), USB-A on the front, a switchable fixed or variable Pre-Out, a subwoofer output, and a 6.35mm headphone connection with its own circuit. Streaming subscriptions here are an option, not a requirement – CD, DAB+, internet radio and vinyl work completely without one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the MyConnect 60 right for – and who isn't it right for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain talk: if you want to bring a large, hard-to-drive floorstanding speaker to level in a 30-square-meter living room, you're better off with the MyConnect 150 or 250. The 60 is the specialist for normal living rooms, offices and holiday homes – there it performs big without overreaching. And honestly: most living rooms aren't concert hall replicas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the MyConnect 60 have Bluetooth and AirPlay?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, both are built in. You stream directly from your smartphone or tablet, and the Advance app (iOS\/Android) additionally controls network and streaming functions. The MyConnect 60 also plays music from a PC, Mac or NAS over your home network – via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs 2 × 60 watts enough?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor bookshelf speakers and efficient floorstanding speakers in normal rooms: easily. The manufacturer states 2 × 48 W into 8 ohms, 2 × 60 W into 6 ohms and 2 × 70 W into 4 ohms – and the Class AB power stage delivers this power stably and under control.

The SA2 speaks AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Chromecast built-in and Tidal Connect, plus UPnP for music from a hard drive in the house. DTS Play-Fi forms the basis for this, and its app also runs Qobuz, Deezer, Amazon Music and internet radio.

If you want to fill a large room with a high volume demand, you should size up.

The SA2 reverses that and packs everything into a footprint of 22 by 25 centimetres. The Class D power amp delivers 2 × 50 watts into 8 ohms, and 2 × 100 watts into 4 ohms. A 32-bit ESS Sabre DAC running in fully balanced mode handles up to 24 bit\/192 kHz, with total harmonic distortion staying below 0.03 percent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SA2 joins your network over WLAN; if you'd rather run a cable, an optional USB-Ethernet adapter takes care of that. Playback runs via AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect or Tidal Connect, controlled either from your usual music app or via DTS Play-Fi. On top of that there's HDMI ARC for the TV, an optical input, RCA and a phono MM input. The pre-out is free for a subwoofer, in case you'd like a bit more down low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the SA2 right for — and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain talk: the SA2 doesn't work as a headphone hub — it simply has no headphone jack. Nor is it built to drive large, power-hungry floorstanding speakers in a big room. As the networked heart of a second room, a home office or a tidy living-room system, though, it does exactly what you'd hope from a device like this — quietly, coolly and without any fuss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA device for anyone who wants to spread music through the house without every room looking like a tech showroom.

Both models bring the full MM\/MC phono input – vinyl and silver disc on one unit, which is unusual today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CS 30.3 sounds clean, controlled and surprisingly big for a unit this height. From CD it plays direct and effortless, streamed in hi-res a touch airier. Distortion below 0.005 % and a signal-to-noise ratio above 95 dB aren't marketing figures, they're what you hear as calm between the notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing is missing on the source side: Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, HighResAudio, AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, UPnP, internet radio and Bluetooth 5.0. Your TV connects via HDMI ARC and controls the volume at the same time, and multiroom runs via AVM RoomConneXion. A subscription is never a requirement – CD, vinyl, web radio and files from a NAS are entirely sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the AVM CS 30.3 right for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor everyone looking for an uncompromising but compact complete solution: one unit, a pair of speakers, done. Honestly: if you never insert a CD, you're paying here for a drive you don't need – then the AVM AS 30.3 is the same unit without the slot. And if you're filling very large rooms or a difficult speaker load, you're better served by the bigger Evolution or Ovation CS models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CS 30.3 is the most compact honest complete system we've come across: streaming, CD and phono in one hand-built housing, without any of the three sources feeling like a concession.

If you want to play CDs, choose its sibling Inspiration CS 2.3 with a slot-in drive, or connect a CD player to the coaxial or optical digital input.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich D\/A converter does the AS 2.3 use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA selected ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M. Together with AVM's X-STREAM Engine, it covers PCM up to 384 kHz\/32-bit and DSD256. On the sockets: coaxial and HDMI ARC take 192 kHz\/24-bit, the optical input 96 kHz\/24-bit. An additional external converter adds nothing here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a remote control included with the AS 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, none is included in the box. The AS 2.3 is controlled via the free RC X app for iOS and Android, plus the rotary control and proximity sensor on the unit. The RC 3 infrared remote and the RC 9 with colour display are available as accessories – we're happy to order one along with your unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a streaming subscription for the AS 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Internet radio, Bluetooth, turntable, TV sound via HDMI ARC and music files from your home network all run at no ongoing cost. Services like Qobuz, TIDAL or Spotify are available if you want them, but you don't have to use them – the amplifier is complete without them too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan the compact AS 2.3 also drive large speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The 2 × 140 watts into 4 ohms are delivered almost independent of impedance, so this Midi-sized chassis can drive full-size floorstanding speakers too. Where the limit lies depends on efficiency, impedance curve and room size – send us your speaker model and we'll place it for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Inspiration AS 2.3 in Cellini Chrome from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a chrome front looks different in a brochure than in your own living room – we'll help you judge that.

AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, Roon Ready, Bluetooth and internet radio are all on board; control runs via the free RC X app, and an infrared remote is available as an accessory on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn amplifier that doesn't push itself into the foreground: clear, powerful, spacious – and still relaxed after two hours. The phono input switches between MM (40 dB) and MC (60 dB), and you set the loading impedance via the included RCA plugs. Via HDMI ARC, the AS 2.3 takes over TV sound, and the headphone output sits on the front. Hand on heart: most gear towers in the living room could look exactly like this – which is to say, not at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Inspiration AS 2.3 right for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wants a serious stereo system but has no room for a rack – and for ambitious second systems. Straight talk: no CD drive. If you regularly load discs, its sibling CS 2.3 serves you better. And if you want to fill a very large room with hard-to-drive floorstanders, look one series up in the AVM range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AS 2.3 in silver is the understated version of a very self-assured device.

If you no longer play CDs, the AS 2.3 simply saves you one component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich resolutions does the AS 2.3 play?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePCM up to 384 kHz and 32-bit, as well as DSD256, via the AVM X-STREAM Engine and the ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M. Via the digital inputs: coaxial and HDMI ARC up to 192 kHz\/24-bit, optical up to 96 kHz\/24-bit.

The AS 2.3 is controlled via the free RC X app for iOS and Android, or directly on the unit.

The CS 2.3 has a slot-in drive on the front, the AS 2.3 doesn't. Amplifier, converter, streaming section and phono input are identical on both.

The bass reflex port sits on the rear, so bass quickly gets boomy right up against the wall.

AVM doesn't include a remote control; control runs via the free RC X app. Speaker cable comes separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Cellini Chrome mean at AVM?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCellini refers to the chrome-plated, hand-polished front panel. Technically it changes nothing: sound, connections and functions are identical to the other finishes. On the speakers, the cabinet stays in high-gloss black or white. The surcharge pays for handwork and looks – a deliberate choice for the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect a turntable to this set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, with no extra device needed. The Inspiration AS 2.3 has a full phono stage built in, switchable between MM at 40 dB and MC at 60 dB. You plug in the right loading resistance for your cartridge via the included RCA adapters. An external phono preamp is therefore unnecessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much clearance from the wall do the Audition CB 2.3 need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few centimetres should do it. The bass reflex port sits at the rear, directly above the bi-wire terminal. If the speaker stands too close to the wall, the bass gets boomy and muddy. On stands with some air behind them, it plays most cleanly – we'll plan the placement with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Inspiration AS 2.3 + Audition set in Cellini Chrome from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a chrome front looks different in a brochure than in your own living room – and because the system has to fit your room and listening habits.

A 34-centimetre-wide electronics unit plus two compact bookshelf speakers add up to a full-fledged stereo system with streaming and turntable connection, without gear towers or cable clutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set holds AVM's slimmest streaming integrated amplifier: 2 × 140 watts, an ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M as converter and the in-house X-STREAM Engine – with AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, Qobuz (our Hi-Fi partner since 2018), TIDAL Connect, HighResAudio, web radio, Bluetooth and HDMI ARC for your TV. A streaming subscription is an option here, not a condition – internet radio, network shares and vinyl work regardless. On top of that, a switchable phono input for MM and MC cartridges, something many compact devices don't even offer. The two Audition CB 2.3 are compact 2-way bookshelf speakers with a 160 mm sandwich-cone woofer and a 30 mm fabric dome tweeter; the bass reflex port sits at the rear, so a little wall clearance does them good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this set right for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal as a high-quality complete system for small to medium living rooms – and thanks to the phono input, for vinyl listeners too. \u003cstrong\u003eStraight talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Inspiration AS 2.3 has no CD drive. If you play silver discs, go for the set with the Inspiration CS 2.3.

AVM doesn't offer a fully silver cabinet; the front baffle is also available chrome-plated at a surcharge. Paired with the silver amplifier, the silver front looks the most understated. We're happy to discuss beforehand what suits your room best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect a turntable to this set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, directly. The phono input on the Inspiration AS 2.3 takes MM cartridges at 40 dB gain and MC cartridges at 60 dB, switched on the unit itself. You set the loading impedance via the included RCA plugs. You won't need a separate phono preamp for this set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference from the set with the AVM Inspiration CS 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust the CD drive. The CS 2.3 has a slot-in drive on the front, the AS 2.3 doesn't. Amplifier, converter, streaming section and phono input are identical on both. If you play CDs, go for the CS 2.3 set; pure streamers and vinyl listeners do better with this set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much clearance from the wall do the Audition CB 2.3 need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few centimetres should do it. The bass reflex port sits at the rear – too close to the wall and the bass turns thick instead of precise. On stands or a free shelf with some air behind them, the speakers play most cleanly. We'll plan the right placement for your room with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Inspiration AS 2.3 + Audition set from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a complete system is only as good as how well it's matched to your room – and that's exactly where our advice starts.

A streaming service is an option here, not a condition – CD, vinyl and internet radio also play without a subscription. On top of that, a switchable phono input for MM and MC cartridges – so you won't need an external phono stage. The two Audition CB 2.3 are compact 2-way bookshelf speakers with a 160 mm sandwich-cone woofer and a 30 mm fabric dome tweeter, whose bass reflex port sits on the rear – so they need some breathing room from the wall. At 4.5 kilograms each, they sit securely on any sturdy stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is this set right for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal as a full-fledged complete system for small to medium living rooms – with a CD drive and phono input, it covers disc and vinyl equally well. Straight talk: if you never load a CD and only stream, the set built around the AVM Inspiration AS 2.3 without a drive is cheaper. If you already own an amplifier or speakers, buying the components separately makes more sense.

If you'd like a remote, add the RC 3 with infrared or the RC 9 with colour display as an accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect a turntable to this set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The Inspiration CS 2.3 has a phono input, switchable between MM at 40 dB and MC at 60 dB. So a turntable can be connected directly, with no external phono stage. You set the loading impedance for MC via the included RCA plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow big and heavy are the Audition CB 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompact: the cabinet measures 170 × 285 × 220 millimetres, the projecting front baffle 220 × 330 millimetres, and each speaker weighs 4.5 kilograms according to AVM. That means they fit on narrow stands and on a shelf. An adjustable foot on the rear tilts them to ear height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow far do the Audition CB 2.3 need to be from the wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA little, since the bass reflex port sits on the rear. Too close to the wall and the bass turns thick; too free in the room and it can sound a bit thin. A few centimetres of clearance is usually enough – we're happy to discuss the exact placement based on your floor plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference from the set with the AVM Inspiration AS 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CS 2.3 additionally has an integrated slot-in CD drive, the AS 2.3 doesn't. Both come with the phono input (MM\/MC) and full streaming. If you play CDs, go for the CS 2.3 set; pure streamers and vinyl listeners do better with the AS 2.3 set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Inspiration CS 2.3 + Audition set from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a complete system should fit your room and your listening habits – we advise from real-world experience.

CD, vinyl, streaming and TV sound all run through one system. The chrome-plated, hand-polished front panel turns the electronics into a showpiece; the chassis behind it stays aluminium in silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy as a set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause amplifier and speakers come from the same manufacturer and are matched to each other – no hunting for components, no datasheet Tetris. Just 34 centimetres of slim, screwless electronics plus two compact speakers add up to a full-fledged stereo system with CD, streaming and turntable connection, without a gear tower or cable clutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AVM Inspiration CS 2.3 is the compact all-in-one with everything that counts: 2 × 140 watts into 4 ohms from a Class D power amp, an ESS Sabre 9038 Q2M as converter, a slot-in CD drive and the in-house X-STREAM Engine with AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz (our Hi-Fi partner since 2018), HighResAudio, internet radio, Bluetooth and HDMI ARC for your TV. A paid streaming subscription is never a requirement – CD, vinyl and internet radio work just as well without one. On top of that, a switchable phono input for MM and MC cartridges that makes an external phono stage unnecessary. The two Audition CB 2.3 are compact 2-way bookshelf speakers with a 160 mm sandwich-cone woofer and a 30 mm fabric dome tweeter; their bass reflex port sits on the rear, so they like a little breathing room from the wall. At a light 4.5 kilograms each, they find their place equally well on stands or a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is this set right for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal as a full-fledged complete system for small to medium living rooms – with a CD drive and phono input, it covers disc and vinyl equally well. Straight talk: you don't buy Cellini Chrome out of reason, but because the look is worth something to you – technically the electronics are identical to Black and Silver. If you never load a CD, the set built around the AVM Inspiration AS 2.3 without a drive is cheaper.

A complete stereo system for CD, streaming and vinyl – all that's missing is speaker cable and your music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a remote control included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. AVM ships the CS 2.3 without a hardware remote; it's controlled via the free RC X app for iOS and Android. If you'd like a remote, add the RC 3 with infrared or the RC 9 with colour display as an accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the Cellini Chrome finish mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCellini is AVM's refinement with a solid, chrome-plated, hand-polished front panel in place of the brushed aluminium fascia. The chassis behind it stays silver aluminium. Technically, the CS 2.3 is identical to the Black and Silver finishes – you choose by looks, not by sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect a turntable to this set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The Inspiration CS 2.3 has a phono input, switchable between MM at 40 dB and MC at 60 dB. So a turntable can be connected directly, with no external phono stage. You set the loading impedance for MC via the included RCA plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow big and heavy are the Audition CB 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompact: the cabinet measures 170 × 285 × 220 millimetres, the projecting front baffle 220 × 330 millimetres, and each speaker weighs 4.5 kilograms according to AVM. That means they fit on narrow stands and on a shelf. An adjustable foot on the rear tilts them to ear height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow far do the Audition CB 2.3 need to be from the wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA little, since the bass reflex port sits on the rear. Too close to the wall and the bass turns thick; too free in the room and it can sound a bit thin. A few centimetres of clearance is usually enough – we're happy to discuss the exact placement based on your floor plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Inspiration CS 2.3 + Audition set from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a complete system should fit your room and your listening habits – we advise from real-world experience.

CD, vinyl, streaming and TV sound all run through one system. This set comes with the electronics in brushed silver aluminium, AVM's classic finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy buy it as a set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause nothing here is thrown together: the electronics and speakers come from the same manufacturer and are matched to each other – no hunting for components, no datasheet Tetris. 34-centimetre-wide, screwless electronics plus two compact bookshelf speakers add up to a complete stereo system with CD, streaming and vinyl connectivity. No equipment rack required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AVM Inspiration CS 2.3 is the compact all-in-one with everything that counts: 2 × 140 watts at 4 ohms from a Class D power stage, an ESS Sabre 9038 Q2M as converter, a slot-in CD drive and AVM's own X-STREAM Engine with AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz (our Hi-Fi partner since 2018), HighResAudio, internet radio, Bluetooth and HDMI ARC for the TV. A streaming subscription is optional here – CD, vinyl and internet radio need none. Add to that a switchable phono input for MM and MC cartridges, so the turntable can be connected without an extra device. The two Audition CB 2.3 are compact 2-way bookshelf speakers with a 160 mm sandwich-cone woofer and a 30 mm fabric dome tweeter; the bass-reflex port sits on the back, so they benefit from a bit of distance from the wall. At 4.5 kg per speaker, placement stays uncomplicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the set for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal as a full, complete system for small to medium-sized living rooms – with a CD drive and phono input, it covers disc and vinyl equally well. Plain talk: if you never play a CD and stream exclusively, the set built around the drive-less AVM Inspiration AS 2.3 is the more affordable choice. If you already own an amplifier or speakers, buying the components separately makes more sense. And if you want to fill a very large room, consider floorstanding speakers rather than bookshelf models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compact complete system with no compromise on sources: a modern streaming amplifier with CD drive and phono, plus two neatly matched speakers, hand-built in Germany and set up in minutes.

The Inspiration CS 2.3 has a phono input, switchable between MM at 40 dB and MC at 60 dB. So a turntable can be connected directly, without an external phono stage.

That means they fit on narrow stands and on a shelf. An adjustable foot on the rear tilts them to ear height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow far from the wall do the Audition CB 2.3 need to be?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA little, since the bass-reflex port sits on the back. Too close to the wall and the bass gets thick; too free-standing in the room and it can sound a touch lean. A few centimetres of clearance is usually enough – we're happy to discuss the exact placement based on your floor plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference to the set with the AVM Inspiration AS 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CS 2.3 additionally has a built-in slot-in CD drive, the AS 2.3 does not. Both come with the phono input (MM\/MC) and full streaming. If you play CDs, choose the CS 2.3 set; pure streamers and vinyl listeners get better value with the AS 2.3 set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Inspiration CS 2.3 + Audition set at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a complete system should fit your room and your listening habits – and that's advice we give from experience.

The slot-in drive plays your discs, the switchable MM\/MC phono input takes the turntable, and via HDMI ARC the TV sound finally runs through the good system instead of the TV's own tiny speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz and Roon run natively, internet radio is built in – with no subscription required.

A hardware remote isn't included: the RC 3 with infrared and the RC 9 with colour display are accessories, ordered separately. There's no FM or DAB radio tuner, by the way – radio runs over the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Inspiration CS 2.3 for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlain talk: the CS 2.3 is for anyone who wants a full system in a small space – including CD and vinyl, not just streaming. If you need more power for very large rooms, or the calibratable phono stage of the Evolution range, look a class higher. And if you stream exclusively from your phone and never play a disc, you're paying here for a drive you won't use – then the AS 2.3 is the more honest choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CS 2.3 is that rare kind of device that replaces an entire equipment rack without you noticing what's missing once the music starts.

A streaming subscription is optional, not required: CD, vinyl and web radio play with no ongoing cost. Control is via the free RC X app; a hardware remote is not included – the RC 3 with infrared and the RC 9 with colour display are accessories. The CS 2.3 has no FM or DAB tuner; radio comes from the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Inspiration CS 2.3 for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand on heart: you don't buy Cellini Chrom for rational reasons, but because the look is worth something to you. Technically this unit is identical to the black and silver versions. If you need more power for very large rooms, or the calibratable phono stage of the Evolution range, look a class higher. And if you never insert a CD, the drive-less AS 2.3 is the more affordable option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn all-rounder that doesn't feel like a compromise – and in Cellini Chrom doesn't look like a purely functional device either.

The Class D power stage delivers 2 × 140 watts at 4 ohms, the ESS Sabre 9038 Q2M converts up to 384 kHz\/32-bit and DSD256, and the X-STREAM Engine pulls the music from the network.

If you want to fill a very large room with hard-to-drive floorstanding speakers, or need the calibratable phono stage of the Evolution range, look a class higher. And if you never insert a disc, you're paying for a drive here – then the AS 2.3 is the more honest choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilver is AVM's finish that never goes out of style: brushed aluminium, screwless, cleanly made.

The CS 2.3 is controlled via the free RC X app. The RC 3 with infrared and the RC 9 with colour display are accessories and can be ordered any time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Inspiration CS 2.3 play CDs and vinyl?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, both. The slot-in drive reads CD audio and CD-R to Red Book standard, and the built-in phono stage amplifies MM by 40 dB and MC by 60 dB. You set the termination with the included RCA plugs.

It delivers 4.5 volts at 80 ohm output impedance and drives most Hi-Fi headphones with confidence. For very high-impedance models, a dedicated headphone amp can still be worth a look – we'll tell you honestly when that pays off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect my TV?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, via HDMI ARC. That routes the TV sound through your stereo system, and volume and standby can be controlled with the TV's own remote.

The heart is a modular quad DAC up to 384 kHz \/ 32 bit and DSD128, which can be swapped as a plug-in module instead of replacing the whole device. The preamplifier works in pure transistor technology – and, at under 0.001 percent THD, measures even cleaner than the tube model CS 8.3.

Visually: chassis and controls in night black plus the Black Edition lettering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Black Edition more powerful than the regular CS 8.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Output power, dimensions and weight are identical: 2 × 500 W at 4 ohms, 2 × 250 W at 8 ohms, 430 × 122 × 350 mm, 13 kg. The difference lies in the converter loading, component selection, tube type, clock supply, power supplies and finish – not in the wattage figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Black Edition have a phono input?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot internally, no. For the turntable, an external phono stage connects to one of the high-level inputs. Only the newer Ovation CS 8.3 S has MM\/MC phono built in from the factory. We're happy to advise you on which combination of cartridge and phono stage suits your deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Black Edition also play CDs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The slot-in Pure CD drive from TEAC draws in the disc without a tray and plays CD audio as well as burned CD-R to the Red Book standard. The CD stays an equal source alongside streaming, USB storage, the digital inputs and Bluetooth – with no second device in the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect headphones to the Black Edition?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. On the front sits a 6.3 mm jack with its own Class A headphone amplifier, 15 ohms output impedance and under 0.002 percent THD. A 3.5 mm adapter works without issue. Which headphones suit this device and your taste, we're happy to work out with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes a remote control come with the Black Edition?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The scope of delivery includes the device in the flight case, two Wi-Fi antennas, power cable, gloves and the manual – a handheld remote is not included. It's controlled via the free RC X app; AVM offers the RC 3 and the RC 9 with colour display as accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Ovation CS 8.3 Black Edition from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're an authorised AVM specialist dealer in Wädenswil and have followed the Ovation range for years.

That's enough for bookshelf and compact floor-standing speakers in small to medium rooms. If you need more headroom for big speakers, the Powernode N331 with 2 × 100 watts is the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the EDGE work without a streaming subscription?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. A paid subscription isn't a requirement. You can use internet radio, files from network storage, Bluetooth and AirPlay 2 at no ongoing cost.

The EDGE actively transmits to wireless headphones via Bluetooth 5.0 aptX HD, so it doesn't just receive. It has no wired headphone output – headphones run exclusively via Bluetooth. In practice, that's more than enough for quiet evenings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan the EDGE measure my room?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the EDGE is Dirac Live Ready and thus prepared for room correction.

A coloured touchscreen with a volume ring and a headphone jack up front, terminals for passive speakers round the back: everything from TV sound to your hi-res library runs through this one unit. Internationally, Cabasse now also sells the same unit as the AMP 240 S – same technology, different name on the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Cabasse Abyss?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause three components, three power cables and two RCA leads rarely sound better than one properly matched unit. 2 × 120 watts at 8 ohms and 2 × 215 watts at 4 ohms are enough for practically any bookshelf speaker and most floorstanders, and the Class D power stages stay cool and quiet while doing it. The HDMI eARC input also makes the Abyss the most elegant solution for better TV sound – no soundbar needed, one that still looks like a soundbar on the shelf. And since the 2025 firmware update it's Roon Ready: if you manage your library through Roon, you add the Abyss as an endpoint with no detour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sound that's more grown-up than the chassis size suggests: controlled bass, clean midrange, no added harshness. Cabasse adds two of its own DSP tools – DEAP for multi-band equalisation, DFE for bass control at low volumes. On top of that, you tell the app where the speakers stand and where you sit, and a two-band equaliser fine-tunes from there; the Abyss doesn't do a microphone-based room measurement. With Cabasse speakers, stored profiles kick in; with other brands it plays just as readily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Cabasse Abyss for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wants a full stereo setup with passive speakers but not a rack full of boxes. For living rooms where the TV joins in. And for anyone who'd rather run their system from an app and a touchscreen than from a stack of remotes. Straight talk: if you already own a good preamp and a power amp, you're buying twice here. For vinyl you need an external phono stage – there's no phono input. And the Abyss doesn't have a full-range preamp output either – it's a destination, not a stopover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lifestyle device with serious technology underneath – the rarer of the two combinations.

The Abyss is a genuine stereo integrated amplifier with Class D power stages delivering 2 × 120 watts at 8 ohms and 2 × 215 watts at 4 ohms. That's enough to drive passive bookshelf and floorstanding speakers with no extra power amp. A network player and converter already sit in the same chassis, so a separate streamer becomes unnecessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect the Abyss to my TV?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Via the HDMI eARC input you connect the Abyss directly to your TV and hear the sound through your stereo speakers instead of the flat TV chassis. If you don't have an eARC connection, use the optical S\/PDIF input instead. For a movie night, that's the biggest audible difference in the whole living room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect headphones to the Cabasse Abyss?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. There's a 3.5 mm jack on the front for headphones. That lets you keep listening late at night without disturbing the speakers – you adjust the volume as usual via the ring on the display or in the app. That doesn't make the Abyss a dedicated headphone amp, but the output is more than adequate for common models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Abyss measure the room automatically?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, there's no microphone-based room measurement. Instead, you tell the StreamCONTROL app where the speakers stand and where you sit; DEAP and the two-band equaliser adjust the sound accordingly. That noticeably smooths out corner placements and TV-cabinet setups, but it doesn't replace an actual room-acoustics measurement. For tricky rooms, we're happy to take a look at the situation beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Abyss have a preamp output for an external power amp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Abyss has a subwoofer output but no full-range preamp output. It's designed as a self-contained complete unit: speakers straight onto the terminals, done. If you want to keep using an existing power amp, you're better served by a separate preamp – just tell us what you already have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a streaming subscription?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Streaming over WLAN, Ethernet, AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth is the convenient option, not a requirement. Via the optical input, two RCA inputs and the USB-A port you play a TV, CD player or a hard drive, and internet radio costs nothing anyway. A subscription remains an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Cabasse Abyss at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we tell you which speakers really suit the Abyss – and which would leave it under-challenged.

That's not a given with this much power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the DIA-400S NPM suited to – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStraight talk: the DIA-400S NPM is built for large rooms and demanding speakers, when you want amplifier, converter and streamer in one tidy housing. For normal living rooms with efficient speakers, the smaller DIA-250S NPM with 2× 250 W is easily enough. And if you already own a good converter or streamer and are only looking for power, you're better served by the purely analog Gato AMP-150 AE.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I really need 2× 400 watts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot everyone does. Power pays off especially with a large room volume, low efficiency and impedance-critical speakers – that's where the DIA-400S stays assured while smaller amplifiers audibly run out of steam. Honestly: someone listening to quiet jazz in a 20-square-metre room is buying the reserve for peace of mind. That's a reason too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA complete, powerful system hub in Danish understatement – streaming, conversion and plenty of power-amp muscle without a stack of components or a cable mess. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we set up network, services and speakers together with you, so the unit plays to its full potential from day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e streaming integrated amplifier with D\/A converter and network player\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2× 400 W at 8 Ω \/ 2× 800 W at 4 Ω (Class D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended speaker impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 – 16 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eD\/A converter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burr-Brown PCM1794, 24-bit\/192 kHz with upsampling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNetwork player:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roon Ready, app control, DLNA\/UPnP; Tidal, Qobuz and Deezer built in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNetwork:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ethernet (LAN) or Wi-Fi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupported formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e MQA (via Roon), FLAC, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, WMA, MP3, AAC, OGG, Monkey's Audio; gapless playback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDigital inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× USB-B (asynchronous), 1× coaxial (RCA), 1× optical (Toslink); USB and coax up to 24-bit\/192 kHz, Toslink up to 24-bit\/96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth:\u003c\/strong\u003e aptX HD, 24-bit\/48 kHz (Bluetooth 4.2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2× RCA stereo (unbalanced), 1× XLR stereo (balanced, gold-plated Neutrik)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× RCA stereo and 1× XLR stereo, factory-configured as pre-out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput level:\u003c\/strong\u003e line outputs in RCA and XLR; volume controlled at the unit and via remote control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone output:\u003c\/strong\u003e none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 pairs of gold-plated binding posts (one pair per channel, banana-compatible)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional connections:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5 mm link jack for system control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e white LED dot-matrix display, dimmable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Hz – 20 kHz (–0.5 dB); 2 Hz – 70 kHz (–3 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal harmonic distortion (THD):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt; 0.01% at rated power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt; 110 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGain:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 dB (+10 dB headroom)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 kΩ (RCA) \/ 40 kΩ (XLR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e standby \u0026lt; 1 W, idle 35 W, max. 1600 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 32.5 × 10.5 × 42 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black high gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e designed and built in Denmark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included:\u003c\/strong\u003e amplifier, power cable, Gato Audio RC-3 remote control with battery, antennas for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, user manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the DIA-400S NPM and the DIA-250S NPM?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe power. The DIA-400S NPM delivers 2× 400 W at 8 Ω and 2× 800 W at 4 Ω, the DIA-250S NPM 2× 250 W and 2× 500 W. Housing dimensions, converter, Roon Ready streaming, Bluetooth and connection panel are identical. The 400S is the choice for large rooms and demanding speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect headphones to the DIA-400S NPM?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, the DIA-400S NPM has no headphone output. If headphones are part of your daily routine, you connect a separate headphone amplifier to the line outputs – or take a look at the Gato SDA-1, which combines a converter and headphone amplifier in one unit. We'll show you the sensible routes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a streaming subscription for the DIA-400S NPM?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Tidal, Qobuz and Deezer are built in if you want to use them – none of the services is mandatory. Your own files are retrieved by the amplifier via DLNA\/UPnP from the network, plus USB, Toslink, coax, Bluetooth and two analog input pairs. So it plays just as well without a subscription.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect an active subwoofer or an additional power amp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, that's what the line outputs in RCA and XLR are for, which Gato configures as pre-out. Whether their level follows the volume control or stays fixed is something we clarify bindingly before ordering – that's especially crucial with a power amp. Just tell us what you'd like to add.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Gato Audio DIA-400S NPM at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a streaming amplifier only becomes a joy once network, services and speakers work together.
