Integrated amplifiers — YBA GENESIS IA3A

The GENESIS IA3A is an integrated amplifier with built-in DAC from YBA, part of the Genesis lineage, built with substantial output power. The GENESIS IA3A brings YBA's considered engineering to a complete, feature-rich integrated chassis.

Key specs that matter

One balanced XLR input and two single-ended inputs are provided. Output power is 105W into 8 ohms, rising to 150W into 4 ohms. Gain is 6dBu. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 95dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.03%. At 430 x 404 x 115mm and 12kg, the GENESIS IA3A represents a substantial integrated amplifier commitment reflecting YBA's considered French engineering standards within the Genesis lineage.

Sound and use context

Expect an accomplished amplification character reflecting the strong over-95dB signal-to-noise figure, with the built-in DAC covering digital sources directly, consistent with YBA's broader considered engineering philosophy.

Pairing

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

Alternatives

YBA's own HERITAGE A100 offers a more accessible alternative within the same broader integrated amplifier catalogue.
