{"product_id":"gatoaudiodia400snpmwn","title":"Gato Audio DIA-400S NPM Streaming Amplifier, Walnut 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\u003eThe high-gloss-polished walnut lid is what defines this version: warm wood on cool aluminium, real veneer instead of foil. Technically you get the full DIA specification – 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\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Gato Audio DIA-400S NPM?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a complete chain sits in one housing here, without anyone skimping on the power amp. The Class-D power stage delivers 2× 400 W at 8 Ω and doubles to 2× 800 W at 4 Ω – reserves you'll hear with demanding speakers and simply enjoy otherwise. The Burr-Brown converter works with upsampling up to 24-bit\/192 kHz, the network section is Roon Ready and plays Tidal, Qobuz and Deezer via LAN or Wi-Fi. Two RCA pairs and one XLR pair stay free for analog sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA unit that passes for furniture in a living space and is still the whole system. Sonically that means: a quiet background, dry bass, clean separation even when it gets loud. And because the amplifier stays cool and quiet, it's also allowed to stand where you can see it – with a walnut lid, anything else would be a waste.\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 is made for large rooms, demanding speakers and the wish for a single unit instead of a stack of devices. In normal living rooms with efficient speakers, the smaller DIA-250S NPM with 2× 250 W is entirely sufficient. And if you already own a good converter or streamer and are looking for pure power, the purely analog Gato AMP-150 AE is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the walnut lid real wood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, Gato uses real walnut wood veneer under several layers of clear lacquer, polished to a high gloss. Every unit therefore has a slightly individual grain – two units never look exactly alike. Care is the same as for a piano-lacquer piece of furniture: soft cloth, no abrasives, no alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most powerful system hub in the DIA series in its warmest finish – streaming, converter and plenty of power-amp output under a wooden lid that lets you forget the technology. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we set up network, services and speakers together with you, so that music plays instead of configuration from day one.\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 Walnut High Gloss (real wood veneer)\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\u003eThe power amp. 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. In dimensions, converter, Roon Ready streaming, Bluetooth and connections they're identical. The 400S is the choice 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 model. For headphone use, connect your own headphone amplifier to the line outputs; from the same maker, the Gato SDA-1 fits well, combining a converter and headphone amplifier. Tell us which headphones you use, and we'll find the combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a streaming subscription for the DIA-400S NPM?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Tidal, Qobuz and Deezer are built in if you want to use them – none of the services is required. The amplifier retrieves your own files from the network via DLNA\/UPnP, plus USB, Toslink, coax, Bluetooth and two analog input pairs. Even without a subscription, you have a fully-fledged system.\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 clarify for you before you order whether their level follows the volume control or stays fixed – for a power amp, quite a lot hinges on that. Tell us what you want to add to the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Gato Audio DIA-400S NPM at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we know which units prove themselves in everyday use and which combinations work well together. We advise on room, speakers and network, set up Roon and the app, deliver and install on site, and our own technician is on hand for service.
