Quad Artera+ CD/DAC/PreAmp. I have Upgraded to streaming on my house network so i have no need for the unit.Very high quality CD player with inputs for 2 Optical and 2 Coax digital imputs two rca analogue inputs. Balanced XLR outputs and RCA fixed and variable as a Preamp.Optical and Coax digital outputs to an external DAC etc.Perfect working order, serviced by quad January 2023 with latest software.Plastic shutter on the first input one has broken, this is very common. I did it as i took the device out of my rack to photograph. Shown in my third photo. Photo 4 shows the flap glued to the optical cable included. Stops the cable falling out of the socket.Quad service items for fixed fee of £55 plus parts and vat. However it works perfectly, stays attached and Quad have a backlog of 4+ weeks to look at it, so decided to sell it now as is.

Quad Artera balanced stereo power amplifier. Brilliant power amp. Runs in class A at low power. For peaks and really high volumes, then runs into class B.Sounds utterly brilliant with my current horn loaded speakers (Impulse Taus), where the valve like midrange is stunning, yet also with the bottom end control of a genuine powerhouse amp. Personally I run it fully balanced, but it will happily run using standard RCA connections.Im happy to ship within England, Scotland and Wales, but not outside of those regions.The unit will come with its original box and its power lead.Also happy to demo to anyone who collects. Im located in Surrey, within the M25. Any questions, please do ask. From the Quad website: The Artera Stereo incorporates QUADs patented current dumping technology developed by QUADs founder Peter Walker. One of the few truly innovative amplifier topologies, it is essentially a combination of two amplifiers that give the best of both Class A and Class B operation. The current dumping circuit consists of a very high-quality class A low-power amp which provides the finesse of the music signal, whilst a high-power current dumping section provides the grip to keep the speakers under control. These two amplifier circuits are combined via a precision bridge network to perfectly impose the clarity and musicality of the class A output onto the power of the current dumper.
