Leak Stereo 130
The design of the novelty is inspired by the classic Leak Stereo 30 model, whose history begins in 1963. The progenitor became the first serial transistor amplifier without output transformers. In line with current trends, the novelty is equipped with an integrated DAC unit based on the ES9018K2M Sabre32 Reference audiophile chip from ESS Technology, capable of processing digital PCM streams with a resolution up to 32 bits / 384 kHz and DSD up to DSD256.
