Product Description
PS Audio Stellar Strata integrated amplifier is a fully featured streaming amplifier that benefits from a state-of-the-art DAC, fully analog pre-amplifier, 200 watt per channel power amp and hi-res streaming module. Everything you need is in this stunning package, all you need to do is add speakers.
High-Resolution Streaming
With three analog and five digital inputs, the Stellar Strata opens up a host of ways to get connecting to your music sources. You also enjoy high-resolution music streaming from your favourite streaming services such as Spotify, Tidal and Qobuz. Just download the compatible PS Connect app to connect to your speakers and headphones over your home network for energetic and dynamic music.
State-Of-The-Art DAC
The DAC and hi-res streaming module within the Stellar Strata will provide you with the best audio quality possible. The DAC with I2S inputs supports Native SACD in DSD playback and features asynchronous USB, low jitter, class A output stage, digital lens technology and a choice of digital filters. This wealth of features results in a three-dimensional soundstage from even standard CD's.
Fully Balance Pre-Amp
The Strata's pre-amplifier uses the problem solving GainCell designed exclusively by PS Audio founder Paul McGowan. It means that the pre-amp itself controls the signal path without the need for additional circuitry. It is 100% analog, preserving all the musical details and delivers rich, powerful audio to high performance headphones.
Analog Cell Based Power Amp
The power amplifier plays a critical role in the preservation all the fine details and subtle nuances in your music. The Stellar Strata achieves this with the Analog Cell. This topology mirrors the warm sonic characteristics of vacuum tube and preserves the smallest acoustic details as well as handling the most complex musical passages with authority.
