QUAD Artera Solus Play 無線藍芽串流擴大機
QUAD Artera 系列終於推出第一台無線串流機種 【Artera Solus Play】綜擴,同時滿足線上串流與傳統 CD 播放的萬能機種
『Artera』系統是 QUAD 尖端的 HI-END 線路產品,過往的產品訴求,除了優美的音質與細 膩的外觀工藝設計外,更特別著重機能的完善度。 QUAD 先前推出的 『Artera Solus』,內 建 CD 播放/ USB DAC /與前級輸出(支援 XLR 平衡)的一體式綜擴,堪稱完美的機種。如 今,再次進化為『Artera Solus Play』,加入目前最流行的網路串流系統『DTS Play-Fi』,將 潮流及傳統完美的結合為一。 『Artera Solus Play』以 DTS Play-Fi 作為系統操控 APP,可支援 Spotify、KKBOX、TIDAL、 Qobuz、Deezer、Amazon Music、QQ MUSIC、iHeartRadio… 等音樂平台以及以 DLNA 串流方式播放 NAS 及電腦音樂檔,還有免費的網路電台,更可以方便地組成多組播放器或 者喇叭的多房間系統。 因操控界面採 DTS Play-FI APP,手機、平板及電腦下載後,就是串 流功能的顯示屏幕及遙控器。 『Artera Solus Play』仍提供系統遙控器,方便使用者直接開 關機、訊源切換、音量控制及所有 CD 播放操作。 『Atera Solus Play』外型工藝由 QUAD 70~90 年代知名的 Rodney Mead 先生再度領軍設 計,將 QUAD 簡約美學的精神發揮於現今更加現代化的外觀,精緻的鑄鋁細磨砂前面板, 結合兩側精鋼鋁製散熱片,加上 QUAD LOGO 的玻璃上蓋(分離式),呈現 HI-END 精品 級質感。
『Atera Solus Play』內部 DA 採用高端的 ESS Sabre32 9018,這是目前業界公認最高水準的 晶片。USB 輸入最高取樣率為 32-bit / 384kHz ( PCM 格式),並且新增熱門的 DSD 音樂檔 案直解功能,最高至 DSD256 (11.8MHz)。 『Atera Solus Play』的 CD 讀取採用最新款的 Slot-in 吸入式結構,不僅讀取穩定、快速、 安靜,更大大降低 CD 錯誤讀取與跳針問題。『Atera Solus Play』提供了多達 9 組訊源輸 入,同時包含網路串流(Play Fi)、電腦 USB、數位、類比與藍芽;前級輸出則提供 RCA 非 平衡與 XLR 平衡選擇。 『Atera Solus Play』平均輸出功率為 2×75 W(8 歐姆),並搭載了 QUAD 純 A 類與 AB 類的運作優點,同一聲道上同 時採用 High Power 的 B 類放大與 Low Power 的 A 類放大做並聯輸出,同時兼具了線性 佳與高功率的優點,意謂擁有純 A 類的溫厚音質與 B 類的強勁推力,而有別與一般 AB 類的放大技術。機內也使用超大的 300VA 環形變壓器,大型濾波電容與高品質元件,數 位與類比機板獨立分區處理,避免干擾,依切都是為了講究音質而設計。

For CD replay, a slot-loading mechanism buffers data from the disc before feeding it to the asynchronous DAC section. Four digital filter options enable users to tailor the sound from both CDs and external digital sources, to suit personal taste and the nature of the source material.
The discrete power amp circuits’ output stage uses a CFB (Complementary Feedback) topology in combination with conventional emitter follower circuitry. The CFB stage offers superior linearity and ensures excellent thermal stability, as the idle current is kept independent of the temperature of the output transistors. Using an emitter follower in combination with the CFB stage is an efficient way of increasing the current ability of the amplifier without compromising the advantages of the CFB circuit.Having the emitter follower deliver additional current only when needed allows for a simpler current-limiting arrangement, which can be voltage-independent. Current limiting is under microprocessor control and programmed to allow the amplifier to supply high currents (+/- 15A) into complex loads, surpassing amplifiers that are bigger and more powerful on paper. A 300VA toroidal transformer supplies the two mono amplifiers using separate secondary windings, followed by 2x15000uF reservoir capacity per channel (60000uF in total).
Much effort has gone into the physical layout of the Artera Solus Play’s circuitry, with independent low-noise power supplies feeding all critical stages to keep interference to a minimum. The result is a performance on par with much more expensive multi-component hi-fi systems – detailed, natural, expansive and dynamic – in line with QUAD’s continuing quest to deliver “the closest approach to the original sound”.
Get connected
Cable connectivity options are plentiful. Six digital inputs – two coaxial, two optical, USB
Type B and Ethernet – cater for external digital sources (there’s also a USB Type A socket for software updates) while a pair of RCA inputs handle analogue sources. Analogue outputs are supplied in both single-ended RCA and balanced XLR varieties, with the four-channel volume control preserving the balanced signal path from the DAC to the XLR output. A pair of high-quality speaker binding posts, optical and coaxial digital outputs, a 12V trigger output and a front-mounted jack coupled to a dedicated headphone amp circuit complete a comprehensive connectivity array.
