{"product_id":"gatoaudiodia400snpmbl","title":"Gato Audio DIA-400S NPM Streaming Amplifier, Black High Gloss","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gato Audio DIA-400S NPM is a streaming integrated amplifier that combines power amp, D\/A converter and network player in a single housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2× 400 watts at 8 ohms, a Roon Ready network player and a 24-bit\/192 kHz converter are built in at the factory. You connect speakers and network, and the system is ready. The high-gloss black lid turns it into a piece of furniture you don't need to hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Gato Audio DIA-400S NPM?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it bundles a complete chain into one unit and still has reserves where other all-in-one solutions run out of breath. The Class-D power stage delivers 2× 400 W at 8 Ω and doubles to 2× 800 W at 4 Ω – so it stays composed even when your speakers really dig in on the bass. The Burr-Brown converter works with upsampling up to 24-bit\/192 kHz, the network section is Roon Ready and brings in Tidal, Qobuz and Deezer via LAN or Wi-Fi. Add to that two RCA pairs and one XLR pair for anything that should stay analog.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA calm, controlled sound with firmly defined bass and plenty of headroom above – whether the music comes from a streaming service, the USB input, or an external phono stage. The DIA-400S NPM doesn't sound like a compromise despite replacing three devices, and it stays cool and quiet while doing so. 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.
