SA30

Class G integrated amplifier with streaming (Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in), Dirac Live room correction (3 profiles, input-assignable), HDMI ARC input, MQA decoding, Roon Ready. Phono stage is switchable MM/MC. Analog Direct mode bypasses all digital circuitry. Processor Mode allows use as a power amp. THD+N 0.002% measured at 80% power into 8 ohms at 1kHz. Line input impedance 10kΩ and max input 6Vrms from third-party review spec table. DAC chip listed as ES9038Q2M on official page (also referenced as ESS Sabre ES9038K2M in review). Digital input port specs (sample rates, bit depth) not explicitly listed on the pages scraped; values used are typical for the connectors on this class of device.
