Integrated amplifiers — JAVA Hi-Fi SINGLE SHOT

The SINGLE SHOT is an integrated amplifier with DAC and phono from JAVA Hi-Fi, sitting below the Carbon Double Shot with substantial though more modest output power in the same slim chassis format. The SINGLE SHOT brings JAVA Hi-Fi's considered engineering to a comprehensive single-chassis solution.

Key specs that matter

Two single-ended inputs are provided, alongside built-in DAC and phono functionality. Output power is a substantial 200W into 8 ohms, doubling cleanly to 400W into 4 ohms. At a remarkably slim 440 x 415 x 130mm and 9.5kg, the SINGLE SHOT shares chassis dimensions with the Carbon Double Shot at a more moderate weight.

Sound and use context

Expect substantial power delivery reflecting the clean 200/400W power doubling, combined with built-in DAC and phono functionality within a slim, space-efficient chassis.

Pairing

The built-in DAC and phono input cover digital and vinyl sources directly without needing separate outboard components, and the substantial 200/400W output suits a wide range of loudspeaker impedances.

Alternatives

JAVA Hi-Fi's own Carbon Double Shot sits above this model with considerably greater output within the same slim chassis format, worth the further investment for buyers wanting even more power.
