This amplifier has enough muscle to power any speaker you use and sounds great at any volume. These high current output stages can comfortably drive any speaker load from 2 ohms. It takes audio performance to a whole new level with advances including extended bandwidth, improved dynamic range, and exceptionally low distortion. The 125 watt per channel Power Amp is the newest generation of Class D technology. The single 6N1P triode will last years for the average listener – it’s easy to change and inexpensive to replace. The Tube Buffer can be switched on via a button on the remote control to add a dose of warmth and take the hard edge off compressed audio sources like MP3s. Galvanic isolation eliminates this noise. Electrical noise, even noise that you can’t hear directly, masks fine details and distorts the tone of music. Computers and digital streamers are prime sources of electrical noise. Galvanic Isolation blocks electrical noise from all of the digital inputs on the nova125. The USB input on the nova125 provides the best possible resolution, which furthers the efforts of the ESS Sabre DAC. Asynchronous communication keeps digital jitter at bay by not relying on the audio clock in the computer, which can get thrown off time by the thousands of processes running in your operating system’s background. The 24/192 Asynchronous USB Input has a major impact on the overall sound quality of the nova125 and represents a huge technological leap from the previous Nova and iNova.

That means your computer, smart phone, and streamer can have sonic performance equal to the world’s best CD players. Using a patented process called HyperstreamTM the Sabre DAC buffers the incoming digital bitstream and reclocks it from thousands of picoseconds of jitter to less than 3 picoseconds. The ESS Sabre Upsampling DAC is the world’s first chipset designed from the ground up to eliminate the anti-musical, high amount of jitter that is commonly found in computers and digital streamers.
