CD and Streaming. United at the Highest Level.
In a world poised between the physicality of disc and the boundlessness of digital streaming, the MP 8.3 S bridges both with complete conviction – uncompromising and thoroughly high-end. CD player, streamer, and tube output stage, all within a single, elegant 43 cm chassis.
Tube Sound for Every Source
The tube output stage elevates every signal – whether CD, streamed audio, or an external digital source – with that unmistakable tonal refinement only tubes can impart: warm, spacious, and utterly alive.
S-DAC: Digital Perfection
The S-DAC module, built around the ESS 9038 PRO with four DACs per channel, is the sonic heart of the MP 8.3 S. Every high-resolution format up to DSD256 and 384/32-bit PCM is reproduced with breathtaking fidelity and naturalness. The S-DAC module is also available as an upgrade for earlier AVM components (MP, CS, SD 6.3/8.3).
Handcrafted. Enduring. AVM.
The screwless precision aluminium enclosure, customizable tube illumination (RGB), and the CELLINI option make the MP 8.3 S as compelling to the eye as to the ear. Built in Malsch, with rigorous quality control and a multi-day burn-in period. Includes the RC 5 remote. 2-year warranty, extended to 4 years with online registration.
