Audiolab Omnia Stereo 100W Network Amplifier And CD Player (Silver)(Audiolab Omnia Stereo 100w Network Amplifier And Cd Player Silver)

High-Performance CD Drive

Robust and reliable, the Omnia’s CD drive builds on the 6000CDT CD transport with a read-ahead digital buffer to reduce disc-reading failures. This also means the Omnia is able to play scratched and damaged CDs that are unreadable by conventional mechanisms.

Connectivity Options for Traditional Audio Sources

Utilizing high-quality analog preamp circuitry akin to the Audiolab 6000 series, coupled to line-level RCA inputs to connect analog sources, the preamp circuitry is kept as simple as possible. The Omnia uses high-quality components to maintain signal purity, with line input signals passing to a precision analog volume stage

A dedicated MM phono input means a turntable can be directly connected to the Omnia via a high-quality, low-noise phono stage with precise RIAA equalization. This phono stage continues the evolution on the 6000 series � engineered to make the most of the music nestling within an LP’s grooves.

Networked Audio Playback

For networked audio playback, the Omnia is equipped with an Ethernet port, lending itself to a wired connection and the wider bandwidth requirements of high-resolution digital audio. For the most convenient access to wireless music playback, the Omnia offers Bluetooth connectivity with high-quality, low latency playback with the Bluetooth aptX standard.

USB DAC Section & More

The USB DAC section is based upon Audiolab’s long-term partner. The ESS9038Q2M SABRE32 Reference DAC performs D/A conversion, utilizing ESS Technology’s 32-bit HyperStream II architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator to deliver ultra-low noise and high dynamic range.

Via the USB DAC section, the Omnia also offers full decoding of MQA (Master Quality Authenticated), which delivers the sound of the original master recording. The Omnia includes MQA decoder technology, which enables you to play back MQA audio files and streams received via the USB input at the original file’s full resolution, passing the signal through its DAC and preamp stages.

IPS LCD Display

Firmly planting itself as a very useable piece of high-tech equipment, the Omnia makes use of a 4.3″ color IPS LCD display, offering a higher clarity of color and lower power consumption than TFT displays. Via the captivating display, the Omnia offers a simplified general user interface and a graphical integration with your music source and playback formats. It also uses a protocol for a real-time VU meter display, adding a touch of hi-fi finesse to the functional, good-looking display interface.

Roon Tested

Roon’s fundamental goal is to provide a consistently stellar user experience. This goal doesn’t stop at the software; the experience extends all the way down to the audio playback hardware, regardless of manufacturer. As a Roon Tested partner, Audiolab has provided equipment to Roon for testing with a variety of different operating systems and computers and shared information about its design and capabilities.

Roon transforms the experience of browsing music. Artist photos, credits, bios, reviews, lyrics, tour dates, and composers are located automatically, then interconnected by links to build a surfable, searchable digital magazine about your collection. Roon also finds all the same links between your personal files and the millions of tracks available on TIDAL, so you can start with the music you know, then explore and discover new music from the world beyond your collection.

In addition to music browsing, Roon is a multi-room, multi-user networked audio platform built to the exacting standards of audiophiles. It offers features like bit-perfect playback, DSD and PCM upsampling, multichannel playback, and signal path display.

Dedicated Headphone Amp with Current-Feedback Circuitry

The Omnia incorporates a dedicated headphone amp with current-feedback circuitry. Its gain bandwidth and high slew rate ensure a dynamic, detailed, and engaging performance with all manner of headphone types.

Connect with Zero Complexity

Powering your speakers is easy, with zero complexity in terms of configuration. Simply connect your passive speakers to the Omnia and you have access to a world of audio sources with impeccable playback.

The discrete Class AB power amp stage delivers 50W per channel into eight ohms, with a maximum current delivery of 9A into difficult loads. The output stage of the discrete power amp circuits uses a CFB (complementary feedback) topology, ensuring superior linearity and thermal stability, as the idle current is kept independent of the temperature of the output transistors. A substantial 200VA toroidal transformer, followed by a 4x 15,000 uF reservoir capacity (60,000 uF in total), helps the amp to maintain firm control of the music while enabling excellent dynamic range.
