About the Artera Play+

The Quad Artera Play+ is an integrated media player that combines a CD player, digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and preamplifier in a single compact chassis. It features an ESS Sabre32 Reference DAC chipset and includes aptX Bluetooth connectivity for wireless streaming from smartphones, tablets, and computers. The unit includes a front-mounted headphone output with dedicated circuitry, four digital filter options for sound customization, and improved power supply circuitry with a larger toroidal transformer and independent low-noise power supplies. The preamp section uses digitally controlled volume in the analog domain with short signal paths to preserve sonic purity. Available in black or silver finishes with a textured aluminum front panel, thick glass top, and CNC-routed heat sinks.
