k3here Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hi PS Audio listeners I stumbled across Paul McGowan talking about a new integrated Stellar Strata here. One box solution with Class A preamp, DAC, headphone amp, streamer. Not sure if power is Class A, D or something else. I am very interested in this as a tidy solution to all my boxes and bits. I never listened to PS Audio components however. Lots of positive feedback in this forum and the web. I have high expectations. What do you think PS audio users? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactic Soap Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 WOW - Fascinating. Got to hand it to the PS Audio team they don't rest on their laurels when it comes to product development. The new Stellar monoblocks with the tube output stage look interesting, I wonder if the integrated will also have some tube magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a PS Audio user (yet) but this looks very very nice indeed. Pretty likely to have a reletively hefty price tag to it based on the current gear which maybe worse now due to the current economy issues? Never the less, good quality is good qaulity. I read through the comments on YouTube and noted a response saying all the information was on the PS Audio site excluding price. I had look on the website (link below) and there is not much it can't do or cant be set up to do with a whole bunch of input/output options too - also with streaming options via their own app . Comes in black too. "Integrated into this analog preamplifier is a stunning, Bob Stadtherr designed, Darren Myer’s voiced, DAC. Based on industry-leading Sabre32 bit Hyperstream architecture, Strata relies upon a fully balanced Class A analog output stage with multiple power supplies, independent jitter-reduced inputs, DSD, I2S, and asynchronous USB." Here's the link to their website and the product. https://www.psaudio.com/products/stellar-strata/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
