Technology for an impressive sound experience

The integrated ESS 9038 Q2M DAC ensures lossless conversion of digital signals and supports all high-resolution formats. The X-STREAM Engine® was completely developed by AVM and is software-based, so it can be kept up to date at any time through online updates. The HDMI ARC interface allows you to connect a television for excellent audio quality even when watching movies and television. In addition, the AS 2.3 has a high-performance phono input that can be switched between MM and MC, making it a perfect complement to the AVM Rotation turntables. All of this makes the AS 2.3 an outstanding device that is known for its versatility and performance.

Elegant design and easy operation

The compact housing is made of brushed aluminum, available in silver or black, and is also available as an exclusive Cellini version with a chrome-plated front. The screwless housing measures just 34 cm in width and therefore blends stylishly into any environment. The dimmable graphic display with proximity sensor and touchpoint sensor technology offers a modern and user-friendly user interface. The RC X app also enables comprehensive control of all functions and ensures easy handling - whether streaming music or individually configuring the amplifier. With the precise sound control, including parametric loudness and bypass function, the AS 2.3 offers unprecedented flexibility to perfectly adapt the listening experience to personal preferences.
