Quadral Aurum A10S streaming amplifier

Everyone is talking about streaming these days – now quadral is combing state-of-the-art streaming technology with the exemplary acoustic merits of the Aurum amplifier in its new stereo A10S amplifier. Just like its ‘sister’ products the A10S is hand finished in Germany – one of the very few components to proudly carry the “Handmade in Germany” logo. With an exceptionally sophisticated Class AB output stage for distortion-free sound on one hand and WiFi module, Ethernet and USB-A connection on the other, the new A10S combines the best of both worlds.

Network players and amplifiers capable of streaming often offer flexible applications – but the sound is seldom up to the mark. The A10S takes a completely new path: with 2 x 100 Watt at 8 Ohm and 2 x 180 Watt at 4 Ohm, it achieves tremendous power. Decoupled sections, outstanding low distortion and selected components show impressive improvements in audio competence. With the AURUM app for Apple iOS and android, the integration of TIDAL, airable radio, airable podcasts means the A10S wants for nothing in terms of modern streaming features.

Enjoying streaming in first-class HiFi quality is even easier with the optional RC3 remote control. Two independent low dispersion power supply units and the large-scale transformer ensure top performance. An ultra-precise volume control down to 1 dB increments and symmetrical XLR connectors – the audio technology used by professionals – proves that even the tiniest details have been considered. That also applies to the variety of formats that the A10S can take perfectly in its stride. WAV, FLAC, ALAC, LPCM, WMA, MP3 and AAC can all be played back.

Quadral Aurum A10S features

  • Streaming services: TIDAL, airable radio, airable podcasts
  • Aurum app for Apple iOS and Android
  • WiFi module, Ethernet and USB-A
  • Aurum A8 full amplifier provides technical basis
  • Data formats: WAV, FLAC, ALAC, LPCM, WMA, MP3 and AAC
  • With new RC3 remote control (optional)

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
