About the U300
The Aavik U-300 is a premium integrated amplifier rated at 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 600 watts into 4 ohms, offering exceptional power with virtually unlimited headroom. It integrates a high-performance DAC designed in-house supporting PCM up to 24-bit/192kHz via five digital inputs (two TosLink, one USB, two SPDIF) with ultra-low jitter clocks for minimal timing errors. The amplifier also includes a sophisticated RIAA phonostage optimized for moving-coil cartridges with adjustable loading from 50 ohms to 5k ohms and a very low noise floor (94dB SNR). The phono section uses discrete, floating, balanced, ultra-low-noise bipolar input circuitry, avoiding JFETs for superior clarity. The unit features three analog line inputs (two XLR balanced, two RCA single-ended), five-way speaker terminals, and a microprocessor-controlled resistor-ladder volume control with 80 steps from -100dB to 0dB. Distortion is exceptionally low (<0.005% THD+N at 1-100W, 8Ω). The U-300's design philosophy emphasizes unity of function, combining preamp, power amp, DAC, and phono stage in one chassis with a sleek, minimalist exterior. Dimensions are approximately 44×37×10 cm, and it weighs 16.5 kg. The amplifier is highly regarded for its dynamic, lively, and musical sound signature, suitable for high-end audiophile systems.
