The beating heart of modern High-End-Hifi

The AS 8.3 S is more than an integrated amplifier – it is the beating heart of a modern music system, rendering towers of separate components and tangles of cables completely obsolete. 550 watts per channel, tube line stage, high-end streaming, phono input, HDMI ARC for your television: everything is here, everything at the highest level.

Sound Without Compromise

The tube line stage lends the AS 8.3 S that characteristic warmth and spaciousness only tubes can deliver. At the same time, the power stage drives even the most demanding loudspeakers with effortless authority – precise, dynamic, and controlled.

This is AVM’s finest integrated amplifier hi-fi device ever created, marking the launch of the new “S” line – S for Super, or as some say internally: OVAS, representing the absolute pinnacle of AVM engineering.

S-DAC: The New Reference Standard

The S-DAC module, built around the ESS 9038 PRO, sets a new benchmark in digital audio processing. Four DACs per channel operate in parallel, delivering flawless reproduction of every high-resolution format up to DSD256 and 384/32-bit PCM.

Streaming without limits

The AVM X-Stream Engine® connects the AS 8.3 S to the entire digital music universe: Spotify Connect, Qobuz, Tidal MAX, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth 5.0, and ROON Ready. The RCX App turns every interaction into a pleasure – intuitive, elegant, and complete. AVM RoomConneXion® further enables seamless whole-home multiroom audio.
