Available in standard Silver finish or the retro inspired Walnut.
TURNTABLE READY:
Traditional audiophiles will recognise the assured quality in the high-quality, low-noise turntable input of the LEAK STEREO 230. Optimised for moving magnet cartridges, the JFET-based circuit offers precise RIAA equalisation in accordance with de facto industry standards for vinyl record playback.HEADPHONE USERS:
The LEAK STEREO 230 uses a dedicated amplifier circuit with current-feedback technology for the headphone output. Equal in performance to standalone headphone amplifiers, beyond the price class of this complete system, the design offers high-speed output signal transition thanks to a high slew rate. The result is a dynamic, detailed and engaging performance with all manner of headphone types.
INPUTS:
Digital inputs stretch to asynchronous USB Type B and two S/PDIF inputs (one coaxial and one optical), plus HDMI ARC. The latter option, which is an addition to the Stereo 130’s specification, extends the Stereo 230’s versatility for use with TVs to make a stereo AV system.On the analogue side are two line-level stereo RCA inputs, plus an MM phono input. There is also a built-in phono stage with a high-quality, low-noise, JFET-based circuit.Bluetooth 5 is also covered to allow you to stream directly from any Bluetooth enabled device in high quality audio.
