ARCAM HDA SA10

Integrated amplifier withbuilt-in 32-bit / 192 kHz DAC SABRE ESS9016, 2 x 50 W at 8 Ω

The new SA10 amplifier from the HDA range draws on Arcam's experience as one of the UK's most respected audio engineering companies.

Using the highest quality components and technology, it is designed to deliver the ultimate musical experience. The short breath of a vocalist just before the chorus hits, the slide of a guitarist's fingers across a string, the strike of a wooden mallet on a cymbal - it's the seemingly small details that can bring music to life. Listen to music through the SA10 and you'll hear these details as if you were very close to the artist himself. Listening to your favourite old albums, you'll feel like you're hearing them again for the first time and in a completely different way. The SA10 will multiply your musical experience.

You can also use the amplifier to connect external digital sources (TV, BD, CD, Satellite etc.) thanks to the excellent integrated SABRE ESS9016 (32-bit / 192 kHz).

Audiophile design with toroidal transformer.

"...a great start. With the first test listen we are greeted with a familiar sense of scale and volume to the scene. It's not just a solid presentation. It's wonderfully warm, where the mids are richer than a Saudi oil trader. This art of presentation is lacking in many competitors who are unable to achieve such a clear and clean presentation.
