{"product_id":"avm-ovation-a-6-3-vollverstaerker-silber","title":"AVM Ovation A 6.3 Integrated Amplifier, Silver","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe AVM Ovation A 6.3 is an integrated amplifier with a transistor preamplifier, combining a Class A\/AB MOS-FET power stage and a built-in D\/A converter in one chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn silver, it looks classic and uncluttered, almost unassuming in the rack. You wouldn't credit it with 2 × 200 watts until the first loud passage arrives and nothing gets flustered even then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the A 6.3?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ovation series is built by hand at AVM in Malsch. Per channel, 20 MOS-FET transistors do the work, fed by a 1000 VA toroidal transformer; up to 180 amps are available. The volume control works fully balanced in 256 steps, which above all keeps quiet levels clean. The result isn't a fireworks display but the kind of composure you only miss once it's gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSource variety with no extra box: the converter processes PCM up to 384 kHz \/ 32 bit and DSD128 over USB-B, plus two coaxial and two optical digital inputs and Bluetooth. Analogue-wise there's one balanced XLR and four RCA inputs. From the CD player to the TV to the network player, everything connects directly; vinyl runs through an external phono stage. Two switchable speaker pairs, adjustable pre-outs in XLR and RCA, and a fixed line-out for recording round it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the A 6.3 suited for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe right choice if you want clear, neutral sound and value an uncluttered setup. If you specifically want the warm tube signature, reach for the A 8.3 with its 803 T tube stage – same power, different character, and externally the same amplifier apart from the model name on the display. And if you want a device that plays Spotify or Qobuz on its own, you'll need a streamer as well: the A 6.3 has no network functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone claiming that the smaller model in a series is automatically the compromise hasn't heard the A 6.3 yet. In silver, a timeless staple for the rack, with serious German handcraft behind it. Before you order blind: let's talk briefly about your speakers and your room. The HD Zürisee team in Wädenswil can be reached by phone, email or WhatsApp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"AVM stands for … a fresh, precise, very uncluttered sound.

The two coaxial and two optical inputs accept common S\/PDIF sources, and Bluetooth 4.2 additionally streams wirelessly from a smartphone or tablet. An external converter is therefore usually unnecessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I run two pairs of speakers on the A 6.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The A 6.3 has two speaker outputs, A and B, which according to the manual can be individually enabled and disabled via the menu. That lets you supply a living room and a secondary room without re-plugging anything. Whether that's worthwhile in your situation depends on the speakers and the cable run – we're happy to look at it with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the A 6.3 a streaming amplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The A 6.3 is a pure integrated amplifier with no network section, no app control and no CD drive. Bluetooth is on board; everything else comes from outside: a streamer connects to the coaxial, optical or USB input, as does a CD player. That keeps the signal path clean and makes later upgrades easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Ovation DAC S module fit the A 6.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's no approval for that. AVM lists the DAC module Ovation DAC S for the Ovation models CS, SD and MP of the .3 generation, not for the integrated amplifiers A 6.3 and A 8.3. Their USB and DAC assembly is modular in design, but an upgrade runs through AVM. Simpler: an external D\/A converter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much warranty does AVM give on the Ovation A 6.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo years of manufacturer's warranty, and with product registration at avm.audio, up to two more years are added – so up to four in total. AVM covers parts and labour; transport costs pass to the owner after six months. We handle the paperwork for a warranty case for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Ovation A 6.3 in silver from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the right device depends on the room, the speakers and listening habits – things nobody can judge online at a glance. As an authorised AVM dealer, we give you honest advice, handle the warranty, and have our own technician, Mauri, in house.
