The NOVA A-I130 is based on the conviction that nothing replaces the warmth of tubes to reproduce live music. The ECC81 tube preamplification stage introduces harmonic richness that transistors alone cannot offer—a soundstage depth, a carnal presence to the sound. But uncontrolled heat is not high fidelity. That's why the Class AB amplification section, powered by a 380 VA toroidal transformer, takes over with authority—capturing the most demanding dynamics, controlling the most recalcitrant speakers.  Downstream, the 4-channel DSP ADAU1452 and the ESS9017S DAC in Quad mode ensure that none of this precision is lost along the way. From tube to speaker: absolute coherence.

4-channel DSP ADAU1452 
Your room influences the sound: dimensions, materials, geometry. The NOVA's 4-channel DSP adjusts each speaker—drivers and woofers—according to its position. The result: controlled bass, a stable soundstage, and speakers that take a back seat to the music. Studio precision, accessible from your amplifier. Your music stays the same. Your space, however, reveals it.

DAC ESS9017S Quad Mode
Your audio file has a history: recording, mastering, various formats. NOVA preserves it. Its ESS9017S DAC, in Quad mode, merges 8 channels into 4 analog paths of rare purity—reduced noise, expanded dynamic range, and restored micro-details. It handles all formats (PCM 24/192, DSD, HDMI eARC) without alteration. Listening: sound as the artist intended. No compromises.

ECC81 tube preamplification
Tubes persist because their unique warmth and presence still captivate discerning audiophiles. A matter of physics, not nostalgia. The ECC81 tube in the NOVA, the first link in the signal chain, shapes the sound. Where a transistor reproduces coldly, the tube adds even harmonics—imperceptible to measurement, but audible. They enrich vocals, strings, and brass. Result: a deep soundstage, spatially separated instruments, and captivating presence. The NOVA doesn't choose between analog and digital. It merges them.

Integrated HDMI eARC
Modern television broadcasts high-end audio content (Dolby Atmos, high-resolution PCM), but few hi-fi systems take advantage of it. The NOVA's HDMI eARC solves this: a single connection transmits the native signal, intact, processed by the DSP and the ESS9017S DAC. Without compromise. Its strength? Seamless integration: your TV remote controls everything, without any change in habits. Audiophile performance. Intuitive use.

ALPS Potentiometer
Invisible details transform a device into an object of attachment. The ALPS potentiometer on the NOVA, the first point of contact with every listen, offers linear and precise attenuation — without imbalance, without jumps. A technical rigor that inspires confidence. Its touch, soft and controlled, invites precision. A discreet pleasure, but one that leaves a mark once experienced. The NOVA reveals itself the moment your hand touches it.

Scalable architecture
Devices become obsolete as the world evolves: new formats, new habits. The usual response? Replace them. Le NOVA focuses on scalability: two dedicated slots. One for the A-NTC cartridge, which adds streaming when you want it. The other for the A-BTC dongle, for uncompromising bidirectional Bluetooth. Insert one, and your NOVA evolves. More than modularity: sustainability. Your amplifier grows with technology without becoming obsolete. Installed today, the NOVA will remain relevant tomorrow. By design.
