external processor to be integrated with the nova and switched in and out
of the signal path by simply pressing a button on the front panel or remote
control! In addition to this flexibility, the nova500 preamplifier takes the
sound quality to an even higher level by utilizing fully differential (aka
balanced) circuitry. This allows the stunning performance of the DAC and
preamplifier sections to be retained through the power amplifier section
and on to your speakers. The sonic quality of the nova500 is world class
by any standard!
The headphone amplifier in nova is designed to be an integral part of
the nova design. It is a fully-discrete amplifier design that provides the
ultimate listening experience, easily drives most headphones and has an
extremely low noise floor so you to hear “further” into your music than you
may have ever before. When compared to dedicated headphone amplifiers
that cost as much or more than an entire nova, the nova represents an
amazing value. The headphone amplifiers in the nova300 and nova500
provide even more output to enjoy less efficient, ultra-high impedance
headphones. When you consider that nova offers so much more than just
a headphone amplifier, the overall value is remarkable.
The power amplifier sections in the nova are some of the cleanest,
neutral, and most powerful ones available today. At an impressive 150
Watts-Per-Channel (WPC) into 8 ohms, the nova150 has ample power to
satisfy the majority of speakers, rooms and listeners. However, there is
no such thing as “too much power” so we also created the nova300 that
packs an amazing 300 WPC and the nova500 that offers a staggering 500
WPC to recreate the natural power and dynamics of live music with ease!
All of the nova power amplifier sections are fully-differential designs that
are extremely faithful to the source, musical and flexible. The novas are
compatible with speakers impedances from 2.5Ω to 16Ω which covers the
vast majority of speakers available today.
