ReMusic recently reviewed our Audiant 80i integrated amplifier and gave it their 'Spark' award. The 80i joins only a handful of other components to have earned this prestigious award.

The Audiant 80i was reviewed by Roberto Rocchi who found the sound of the amp possessed a "naturalness" and had "control like a true champion". Impressed that such a big sound could come from the 'little' Audiant 80i he commented:

“The small size of the Audiant 80i is in startling contrast to a big sound, opulent and luxurious.”

Roberto liked the natural sound of the on-board USB DAC and suggested it will "satisfy the aesthetic taste of the most experienced audiophile", especially if using a computer to stream music.

Our award-winning Audiant DP32 USB DAC preamp and 100p stereo power amp have just been reviewed by HIFI4ALL.DK.

Reviewed by Mikkel Gige, he compared the sound of the DP32 to that which he has only ever heard from vinyl and one other digital source:

“It is a huge achievement, as DP32 can be quite proud of. I have only experienced the same "analog" sound from one other digital player...”

You'll need to read the review to find out what player that was, although I will tell you it starts with 'M' and costs three times as much as the DP32.

Audio Video Magazine recently reviewed our Audiant DP32 USB DAC preamp and matching 100p stereo power amp in their October issue.

Reviewer William Kelly loved his time spent with the DP32/100p pre-power combination although, just like any self-respecting South African, he managed have a dig at us Kiwis in the process, particularly our national rugby team – the All Blacks.

William, might I remind you that the All Blacks are the current Rugby World Cup holders, won this year's Rugby Championship AND retained the Bledisloe Cup... need I say more? :-)

Thankfully William managed to put his prejudices to one side to find:

“This pair owes no explanation to anyone – it is simply very, very good at producing music.”

Esteemed UK audio mag Hi-Fi Choice have just reviewed the Perreaux Audiant DP32 USB DAC preamp and 100p stereo power amp in their December issue. They rate the Audiant pre-power combo a massive 10/10 (5/5 each) and award the pairing the coveted 'Hi-Fi Choice Editor's Choice' gold award.

To say we're 'totally chuffed' with the Editor's Choice award is an understatement. Recognition of this calibre doesn't come around that often and confirms the hours and hours of sweat, tears and determination that went into the development of the DP32 and 100p has created something truly magical.

In their latest review, Hi-Fi News & Record Review test our eloquence 250i integrated amplifier and dish out a Highly Commended award.

Reviewed by experienced and well-respected reviewer Ken Kessler, the eloquence 250i delivered "convincingly natural and real" treble attack and decay when used with his Wilson Audio Sophia 3 loudspeakers.

The Sophia's "big-bass-from-a-compact-enclosure was as well defined and palpable as if the Perreaux had been designed for and with them," Ken continued.

Rated at 250W the integrated amplifier was measured by Paul Miller and his lab report shows the 250i, in fact, delivered closer to "2x420W/8ohm and 2x670W/4ohm with a thundering 545W and 1kW, respectively, under dynamic conditions."

For 2011 our Audiant 80i integrated amp made it into Joel Kopping's top six components and was his best amplifier for 2011.

This is what Joel had to say about the Audiant 80i, the amplifier which impressed him the most in 2011:

“Being a stereo fan, one of my six of the best for 2011 is an amplifier, and once again the product listed takes this spot by the slimmest of margins. It had to be good, as it was up against the likes of Audiolab, Anthem, Thomas Rogoff Audio and Dussun (and I still have the awesome V8i on loan).”

“The amplifier to make the top six did so because it sounded good, was solidly built and included a digital input, making it a little more flexible than some of the others.”

“My top amplifier for 2011 therefore is the Perreaux Audiant 80i.”

Thanks Joel, we're honoured and extremely flattered that you chose the Audiant 80i as your best amplifier in 2011.

The reviews keep rolling in for our Audiant 80i integrated amplifier.

Recently, Russian magazine Hi-Fi.ru reviewed our Audiant 80i integrated amp and it acheived a 95% overall rating – including 95% for both sound and build quality.

Reviewer Alex Skorpilev was impressed with the amp's "naturalness" and "accuracy of the sound" and sums up the Audiant 80i:

“The greatest merit of the amplifier is in its musicality. Each time, replacing differing in content of the phonogram, confronted with the fact that it is difficult to stop playing and curb their desire to listen to a record to the end”
