{"product_id":"gatoaudiodia400snpmwh","title":"Gato Audio DIA-400S NPM Streaming Amplifier, White 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\n\u003cp\u003eWhite high gloss is the finish for bright living spaces: the amplifier visually disappears until you switch it on. Underneath is the full DIA-series specification – 2× 400 watts at 8 ohms, a Roon Ready network player and a 24-bit\/192 kHz converter, built in at the factory. Connect speakers and network, and you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Gato Audio DIA-400S NPM?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it replaces an entire chain without holding anything back. The Class-D power stage provides 2× 400 W at 8 Ω and steps up to 2× 800 W at 4 Ω – it stays composed even when a speaker really draws current in the bass. The Burr-Brown converter computes 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. Two RCA pairs and one XLR pair are ready for analog sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuiet in the background, tight, well-defined bass and an image that doesn't collapse even at higher levels. Whether the music comes from the network, the USB input or an analog source, you'll barely notice a difference in character – and for a unit that does everything itself, that's precisely the achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the DIA-400S NPM suited to – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight talk: the DIA-400S NPM suits large rooms, demanding speakers and the wish to have amplifier, converter and streamer in a single housing. In a normal living room with efficient speakers, the smaller DIA-250S NPM with 2× 250 W does just as well. If you already have a good converter or streamer in the rack and are only looking for power, the purely analog Gato AMP-150 AE is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes white high gloss yellow over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lid has a multi-layer high-gloss lacquer and is treated like a piano-lacquer surface: dust it with a soft, slightly damp cloth, no abrasives, no alcohol. Direct, constant sunlight doesn't agree with any lacquer – that applies to white units just as much as to the sideboard underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlenty of power amp, a complete digital section, a housing that doesn't stand out as a technical block in bright rooms – the tidiest way to build a large system. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we set up network, services and speakers together with you, instead of just handing you a box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\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 White 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\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the DIA-400S NPM and the DIA-250S NPM?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust the 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 the same. You choose the 400S for large rooms and demanding speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect headphones to the DIA-400S NPM?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, there's no headphone output on this amplifier. If you want to listen via headphones regularly, connect your own headphone amplifier to the line outputs – the Gato SDA-1, for instance, which combines a converter and headphone amplifier. We'll find you the combination that suits your headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a streaming subscription for the DIA-400S NPM?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. You can use Tidal, Qobuz and Deezer, but you don't have to. The amplifier plays your own music files from the network via DLNA\/UPnP, plus USB, Toslink, coax, Bluetooth and two analog input pairs. A subscription is an option, not a requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect an active subwoofer or an additional power amp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, that's what the line outputs in RCA and XLR are for, which Gato configures as pre-out. We'll confirm before you order whether their level follows the volume control or stays fixed – for a power amp, that's exactly the point that matters. Tell us what you want to add.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Gato Audio DIA-400S NPM at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the box alone isn't a system yet. We clarify room, speakers and network with you, set up Roon and the app, deliver and install on site, and have our own technician in-house for service. Almost three decades of experience go into this advice.
