The AI-303 is a compact integrated amplifier with built-in DAC from TEAC, built into a remarkably space-efficient chassis. The AI-303 brings TEAC's considered engineering to a space-efficient, accessible integrated format.

Key specs that matter

Two single-ended inputs are provided. Input impedance is 10,000 ohms single-ended. Output power is a modest 25W into 8 ohms, rising to 50W into 4 ohms. At a remarkably compact 215 x 61 x 257mm and just 2.3kg, the AI-303 maintains a space-efficient, lightweight integrated amplifier chassis with a built-in DAC.

Sound and use context

Expect a dependable, accessible amplification character reflecting TEAC's broader considered engineering philosophy, with the built-in DAC covering digital sources directly, packed into this remarkably compact chassis.

Pairing

The built-in DAC covers digital sources directly without needing a separate outboard converter.

Alternatives

TEAC's own AX-505 offers a considerably more powerful alternative within the same broader integrated amplifier catalogue.
