NuPrime IDA-8 Integrated Amplifier -100W x 2 (8-Ohm)

Brilliant integrated amplifier

I am using this amplifier with Klipsch RP600M speakers. As you may know Klipsch speakers are voiced on the forward/bright side of neutral, I was afraid the combination would sound bright and harsh, but I was wrong. The match is perfect. Loads of dynamics, live sound, very transparent amplifier. Does not have any competition at this price point and I think you have to spend a LOT more to get better. The DAC inside is very good as well, I am using it with an Allo USBridge as a Roon endpoint and it works flawlessly. I will upgrade soon to Klipsch Forte 3 and I plan to keep this amp, it's that good.

Incredible package in a single compact and stylish box

After spending many hours researching and trying a few integrated amps in the lower price range I realized that I needed something more powerful to drive my KEF-350 bookshelf speakers. Unfortunately powerful meant either a lot more expensive or lesser quality sound at higher volume. I was also hoping for smaller footprint, preferably minimalistic and stylish look and good quality DAC inside. After discussing my situation with Amir at Summit Hi-Fi, he recommended IDA-8. A couple of hours of research later I decided to give it a try. This little beast looks gorgeous and sounds incredible no matter how much you crank up the volume. It instantly made me feel that my setup was now complete and after a few weeks of using it I can't imagine switching to any of the cheaper amps I tried before it. There is only one thing I would've preferred if IDA-8 had and that's automatic reconnection to bluetooth on start. However the bluetooth module is external and I can replace it over time without having to change the amp. Since my music source is my computer I imagine there is also a software solution that can resolve this problem. In any case this issue was too small to affect my overall impression of the amp. Buying it from Summit Hi-Fi was also a flawless experience since Amir was always ready to answer any question or concern I had.

Very easy transaction

Aamir is doing everything possible to make your purchase an easy and enjoyable transaction. Very helpful and good service. I would recommend Summit Hi-Fi to everyone.
