Audia Flight FL THREE S

INTEGRATED STEREO AMPLIFIER

From the moment you see it, the Flight Three S impresses with its elegant Italian design and robust build quality. Its thick 10mm aluminum front panel, precision-machined metal pushbutton selectors, and smoothly weighted volume knob all speak to a level of craftsmanship that is both tactile and visually refined. The included remote control—compact, ergonomic, and carved from solid aluminum—echoes the amplifier’s premium aesthetic. A large, blue OLED display provides clear, customizable information about your selected input and other active functions. Each input can be renamed to suit your system, offering convenience and personalization. Beneath the sophisticated exterior lies a meticulously engineered interior that places the Flight Three S far ahead of typical integrated amplifiers in its class. A high-precision ALPS Blue potentiometer ensures accurate volume control across its range. Eight separate power supplies serve the amplification stages up to the driver transistors, offering a total of 13,200μF of capacitance for the stabilized power rails. Four additional high-current power supplies—providing 72,000μF of total capacitance—are dedicated exclusively to the output stages. For signal purity, all inputs are routed through sealed relays in an inert atmosphere with gold-plated terminations. True to Audia Flight’s sonic philosophy, the logic control section is isolated from the analog audio circuitry via photo-couplers and powered by its own dedicated toroidal transformer. Powering your loudspeakers are two 100-watt amplifiers, each supported by a massive 576VA toroidal transformer in a fully dual-mono layout. Audia Flight’s proprietary current-feedback design ensures remarkable speed, dynamics, and clarity, while delivering tight, controlled bass that brings your music to life with breathtaking realism. Every interaction with the Flight Three S feels intuitive and refined. Input selection, volume, and mute (with level memory) can all be controlled via the front panel or remote. You can choose from four unbalanced analog inputs (one optionally phono), one balanced analog input, and an optional USB digital input. The optional 24-bit/192kHz USB DAC board, built with high-grade discrete components, delivers stunning musicality from digital sources. Meanwhile, the optional MM/MC phono stage, available via Input 1, extracts exceptional detail and warmth from your vinyl collection. Additional features include a discrete high-performance headphone amplifier, capable of properly driving a wide range of headphones. A remote-selectable “Direct” mode allows the Flight Three S to function as a power amplifier, making it a perfect fit within a home theater or multi-channel setup—while still delivering top-tier two-channel performance for stereo listening. The rear panel also offers a remote trigger input, monitor input, record output, and an unbalanced preamp output—with the ability to disable the internal amplifiers if you wish to use an external power amp. In every respect—build, design, flexibility, and above all, sonic performance—the Flight Three S Integrated Amplifier is a joy to behold, operate, and hear. It’s the centerpiece your system deserves.
