The IDA-8 is an integrated amplifier with built-in DAC from NuPrime Audio, built into a compact chassis. The IDA-8 brings NuPrime's considered engineering to a space-efficient integrated format.
Key specs that matter
One single-ended input is provided. Output power is 100W into both 8 and 4 ohms - a consistent figure across loads suggesting efficient Class D amplifier technology. Frequency response spans a wide 10Hz to 50,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is 98dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at 0.005%. At 55 x 235 x 281mm and 4kg, the IDA-8 maintains a compact, space-efficient integrated amplifier chassis.
Sound and use context
Expect surprisingly clean, capable amplification reflecting the strong 98dB signal-to-noise figure, 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
NuPrime's own IA-9X offers a considerably more comprehensively connected alternative with a phono stage within the same broader catalogue.
