{"product_id":"gatoaudiodia400snpmcu","title":"Gato Audio DIA-400S NPM Streaming Amplifier, Custom Colour 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 – here with a high-gloss lid in your custom colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn the images:\u003c\/strong\u003e the orange-finished unit in the first photo is Gato's sample piece for the custom-colour option, not a fixed delivery colour. You choose the shade freely – from a muted grey to the exact tone of your sideboard. Technically the unit is identical to the standard finishes: 2× 400 watts at 8 ohms, a Roon Ready network player and a 24-bit\/192 kHz converter, built in at the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Gato Audio DIA-400S NPM?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause you get three devices in one and still lose none of the power. The Class-D power stage provides 2× 400 W at 8 Ω and doubles to 2× 800 W at 4 Ω – reserves you don't need constantly, but hear at the right moment. The Burr-Brown converter runs with upsampling up to 24-bit\/192 kHz, the network section is Roon Ready and brings Tidal, Qobuz and Deezer into the shelf via LAN or Wi-Fi. On the analog side, two RCA pairs and one XLR pair are ready and waiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA system hub that stays clean and controlled sonically and looks exactly the way you want it visually. The high-gloss lacquer is applied by Gato in Denmark; the aluminium housing, the dot-matrix display and the connection panel remain unchanged. A unit you put in the living room instead of banishing to a cabinet – and that's exactly what the custom colour is for.\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 custom colour is worthwhile if the unit stands in view and needs to match your decor, and if you also need power for large rooms and demanding speakers. If you're putting the unit in a rack anyway, black, white or walnut are the more affordable route. If 2× 250 W is enough for you, the smaller DIA-250S NPM is the more sensible purchase – it's also available in a custom colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does a custom finish work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou tell us the shade you want, we check it with the distributor, and confirm before you order what's feasible and how long the finishing will take. A unit in your custom colour is made specifically for you – which is why we'd rather discuss the shade once too often beforehand than once too little.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most powerful all-in-one solution in the DIA series, plus a housing that adapts to your living space instead of the other way around. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we accompany you from choosing the colour through the speakers to a fully set-up streaming experience – so that in the end both the look and the sound are right.\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 Custom colour high gloss (individual finish made to order)\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\u003eIs the orange unit in the photo the delivery colour?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Orange is Gato's sample finish used to show the custom-colour option. You choose the shade yourself, and the amplifier is delivered in your custom colour in high gloss. Technically it matches the standard finishes in black, white and walnut exactly – only the look changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the DIA-400S NPM and the DIA-250S NPM?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe power-amp output. 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. Dimensions, converter, Roon Ready streaming, Bluetooth and connections are the same on both. The 400S is meant for large rooms and demanding speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect headphones to the DIA-400S NPM?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, there's no headphone output. For headphone use, you connect your own headphone amplifier to the line outputs; in the Gato lineup, the SDA-1 fits well here, combining a converter and headphone amplifier and speaking the same visual language. We'll tell you what suits your headphones.\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 on board if you want to use them – none of the services is required. Music from your own network arrives via DLNA\/UPnP, plus USB, Toslink, coax, Bluetooth and two analog input pairs. Even with no ongoing costs at all, you have a fully-fledged system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Gato Audio DIA-400S NPM at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a custom finish needs advice before it's ordered – and a streaming amplifier needs advice afterwards. We clarify shade, lead time, speaker match and network with you, deliver and install on site, and take care of service with our own technician.
