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.
