The QUAD Platina Integrated is the flagship Class AB integrated amplifier in QUAD's reference line-up, delivering a muscular 2 x 200W into 8 Ω (2 x 310W into 4 Ω) with peak currents up to 20A. Built on a dual-mono topology, it features a massive 630VA toroidal transformer with 44,000 µF reservoir capacitance per channel and custom Würth Elektronik capacitors. Its modern chassis pairs machined aluminum tactile controls with a 4.3-inch IPS color display and a graphical user interface for seamless parameter adjustment.
Equipped with an ESS Sabre ES9038PRO DAC and dual master clocks, the Platina Integrated supports audio up to PCM 768 kHz and DSD512 with optional PCM upsampling and 5 user-selectable reconstruction filters. Analog inputs feature an advanced JFET MM/MC phono stage with selectable gain settings (46 dB, 52 dB, 60 dB), while output stages include a 4-channel active volume control, pre-outs (XLR/RCA), HDMI ARC, and a dedicated current-feedback headphone amplifier.
