Since their founding in 1951, Nagra’s company culture has driven a pursuit of perfection. Combine this with the Swiss tradition of precision engineering and it was inevitable that continuing research and development on the HD line platforms would ultimately result in advances that justify the release of a product line-up which substantially extends the sonic envelope of the HD line.
The latest products to bear the appellation “Reference” are the Reference PREAMP, Reference DAC and Reference AMP.
Designed in parallel with the Reference PREAMP, the Reference AMP is the ideal power amplification partner in a reference level system. The Reference AMP is an iron fist in a velvet glove. Boasting a new power supply 25% larger than the HD AMP, it features many mechanical and electronic improvements.
Hundreds of hours of intensive listening sessions resulting in cumulative sonic advances, allow Nagra to introduce an amplifier pair that illuminates the subtle artistry of a delicate piece of chamber music while also offering the capacity to reproduce the “jump factor” of a large scale orchestral crescendo or the “to the core” sensation generated by the power of the latest piece of electronica.
