This model boasts an uncommonly wide frequency response (3 to 40,000 Hz) and a respectable damping factor of 160. Based on the technological advancements of the company's flagship Edge M amplifier, the Cambridge EXA100 offers exceptionally transparent and detailed sound. An ESS ES9018K2M SABRE32 DAC chip, aptX HD Bluetooth module, a built-in streamer, and balanced inputs – everything is perfect here.

6. Lyngdorf TDAI-2210

Pros – the ideal component for a fully digital audio system

Lyngdorf's newest integrated amplifier, the TDAI-2210, offers 2 x 105 watts of power into 8 ohms at an incredible 35 amps per channel! Distortion is under 0.05%. TDAI stands for True Digital Amplifier Integrated – the entire audio system is digital; there's no dedicated digital-to-analog converter; the signal from the analog inputs is immediately converted to digital. It features a built-in streamer, and its modular design allows for upgrades with a phono preamplifier board. Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and Google Cast are supported, and it's Roon Ready certified. If you're all about digital audio, few can rival the Lyngdorf TDAI-2210 – its sound is like opening a window to the street.

5. Quad Platina Integrated

Pros – a perfect balance of features for this price range

The Quad Platina Integrated, which we've already tested, delivers 2 x 200W into an 8 ohm load and guarantees a signal-to-noise ratio of a solid 112 dB with 0.01% total harmonic distortion. Featuring a Dual Mono Class AB circuit, capacitors specially developed in collaboration with Würth Elektronik, a 630 VA toroidal transformer with 44,000 μF per channel, and cascaded voltage regulators, the five years of development have paid off. The sound dynamics are exemplary, and the soundstage is truly three-dimensional. The ES9038 PRO DAC with upsampling is the icing on the cake.

4. Matrix Audio MD-1P

Pros – stunning performance, crystal-clear sound

A "Swiss Army Knife" for audio, the Matrix Audio MD-1P delivers truly outstanding performance. This integrated streaming amplifier delivers 2 x 300W of power into 8 ohms and guarantees a signal-to-noise ratio of 122 dB at 0.0005% THD. This model combines an integrated amplifier with a phono preamp, streamer, and DAC into a single unit – so you only need speakers to create a complete system. Advanced PWM signal processing technology effectively minimizes audio signal distortion. The DAC is based on the AK4493SEQ chip with two clock generators, powered by independent low-noise linear regulators and intelligently controlled by a Field Programmable Gate Array. The volume control system is 256-step digital. The Matrix Audio MD-1P delivers a truly impressive and emotional sound.

3. Moon by Simaudio 371

Pros – confident and flexible stage

The Moon by Simaudio 371 offers 2 x 100W into 8 ohms and a signal-to-noise ratio of 108 dB with 0.009% total harmonic distortion. The amplifier's frequency response is very wide – from 5 to 100,000 Hz. This model belongs to the brand's new Compass collection and uses patented MDCA amplification technology – resulting in a fluid, mercury-like, flexible, and truly analog sound. The integrated amplifier supports all major streaming services, including Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, and Spotify, works with Apple AirPlay, and is Roon certified.

2. Aavik I-188

Pros – innovative circuit design, enchanting sound

The Aavik I-188 offers 2 x 300W into an 8 ohm load with 0.0028% THD. The entry-level model in the latest x88 series incorporates the latest Pascal amplifier modules and is equipped with a proprietary power supply with resonant mode and advanced noise reduction technologies (36 active Tesla coils, 96 active square Tesla coils, 4 dither modules, and 4 anti-area resonant coils). Volume control is available in 76 1 dB steps, and the maximum current reaches 10 A. The Aavik I-188 sounds exceptionally precise and natural.

1. Vinnie Rossi Brama G2 Integrated Amplifier

Pros – chic, gloss, and brilliance in every passage
