Premiera A3: Neo-Vintage Integrated Amplifier with Sabre DAC, HDMI ARC, and 110W Class AB Power

The Premiera A3 is a classic integrated amplifier with a neo-vintage look, but with the most modern and extensive feature set, with modern analog and digital technologies, with software updates, with universal use capabilities, with excellent sound and at a price that is unlikely to be offered by its closest competitors.

The Premiera A3 stereo amplifier differs from the Premiere A3 in that it lacks a network module. However, it easily replaces a system of several hi-fi components and is equipped with modern features. At the same time, the model retains its classic design, with signal level indicators and analog controls on the front panel.

The amplifier's secrets are revealed by looking at its rear panel. Here, in addition to analog inputs (for MM or MC cartridges, three line-level inputs, and one balanced XLR), a full complement of digital connections is available. There are coaxial and optical inputs, a USB-B port for connecting to a PC, and HDMI with support for the Audio Return Channel (ARC). Other options for listening to music with the Premiera A3 include Bluetooth with support for aptX/AAC codecs and a USB port for portable storage devices containing audio files, located on the front panel. Combined with the device's other capabilities, this turns it into a standalone source for listening to music in a stereo system, requiring only a pair of speakers. The Premiera A3's DAC is based on the ES9018K2M chip, capable of processing signals at 32-bit/384 kHz and DSD 11.2 MHz.

The model's amplifier operates in Class A/B and delivers up to 110 watts per channel into an 8-ohm load. Its high output current ensures excellent load-carrying capability, and it confidently handles speakers with complex impedance characteristics. The power supply incorporates a massive toroidal transformer and generously sized filter capacitors. The Premiera A3 features screw-type terminals for two pairs of speakers (for sound reinforcement in an additional room) and a headphone output.
