Hi folks,
I have been using this gorgeous little Quad beauty as a desktop amplifier, but have now decided to use active speakers after buying a new pc with a much larger case. Sadly, there isn't enough room on my desk for them both, nor enough room in my room for a bigger desk. Ah, first world problems.
This amplifier is in perfect working condition. Cosmetically, it is in good shape, apart from a couple of hairline scratches and a more noticable one on the front edge of the unit. I have tried to show this in a photos.
The unit functions as a DAC, a pre-amplifier or as an integrated amplifier. It is rated as 45w per channel into 8Ohm, a THD rating of less than 0.009% at 10w (1kHz), and a signal to noise ratio of 108db at 45w (A weighted). It uses a Cirrus Logic CS4398 DAC chip and can sample up to 24bit / 192kHz. It has a PC USB input, 2x optical inputs, 1x coaxial input and Aptx Bluetooth.
The unit is smaller than many integrated amplifiers, measuring 31.3cm by 30.2cm x 9.35cm.
Comes with original box, packaging, remote and mains cable.
Cost £700 new. Am asking for £300.
Collection is welcome (Stevenage), but I can post it if desired.
Please note that this is the original Vena, not the Vena II or Play. It was released in 2015.
