About the NuForce Dia™

Dave Bar

Beef up the sound from your digital sources

Streaming music wirelessly around the house is cool, but sometimes the low-fi audio components inside those wireless devices can leave your tunes sounding flat. Fortunately, there's help. If your devices have digital audio outputs, just plug them into the NuForce Dia. It bypasses those inferior electronics and handles the digital-to-analog processing instead. The Dia's high-quality DAC (digital-to-analog converter) and powerful, built-in amplifier will deliver impressive levels of realism and detail — without the need for any additional receivers or peripherals.

Build a system that's right for you

With three digital inputs, speaker outputs, plus line-level out for a powered sub, the Dia can work in a number of different setups. For example, you can connect it to the optical digital output on almost any HDTV, satellite receiver, or set-top box, then add a pair of bookshelf speakers and a powered sub to create a space-saving 2.1 home theater system. Or, plug in your Apple TV® and enjoy high-quality music streaming from your Wi-Fi® connected computer or iPod. You can even use it to simply hook up a CD/DVD player and your favorite speakers for a sweet-sounding stereo system. The included wireless remote lets you adjust volume and switch sources from the comfort of your easy chair.

Features

NuForce Dia Integrated Amp: The NuForce Dia Integrated Amplifier fits your digital audio lifestyle without the complexity. The NuForce Dia accepts audio input from your favorite consumer electronics products via its optical or coaxial digital input and converts the signal to high-quality audio using its 24-bit/192kHz D/A converter. Dia's high-performance 24W stereo power amplifier drives powerful, crystal-clear sound through your existing speakers for ultimate audio performance from your:

  • Widescreen high-definition TV
  • Satellite receiver/cable box
  • Gaming console
  • Blu-ray/DVD/CD player
  • Media Streaming device

Stereo Amplifier: The NuForce Dia employs a high-efficiency, analog-switching stereo amplifier for low power consumption, without digital artifacts. The stereo amplifier is rated at 24Wx 2ch in 4-ohm or 18W x 2ch in 8-ohm (1% THD+N). The amplifier's peak power is rated at 30W x 2ch in 4-ohm.

High-Quality Digital-to-Analog Conversion: The NuForce Dia Integrated Amplifier utilizes an audiophile-grade 24-bit/192kHz D/A converter for low noise and clarity.

Unobstructed Signal Paths: The absence of capacitors in the signal path allows for heightened purity, lower distortion, a wider sound stage, and better-detailed imaging.

Digital Audio Inputs (S/PDIF): The NuForce Dia Integrated Amplifier is fitted with two optical (toslink) digital audio inputs and one coaxial (RCA) digital audio input.

Note: If connecting to a television set's optical output, please make sure that you are able to select PCM as the default optical out audio format from your television's Audio menu. This DAC is not compatible with multi-channel audio signals and will not work with televisions that do not output PCM.

3.5mm Output: The NuForce Dia features a front-panel 3.5mm line output designed for connecting a powered subwoofer. This minijack line output is not meant for connecting headphones and does not cut off the output of the integrated amp.

Speaker Outputs: The NuForce Dia Integrated Amplifier is equipped with two pair of spring-post speaker terminals for connection of your speakers, using bare wire (up to 14AWG) or pin-connectors.

3-Way Rotary Dial: The NuForce Dia features a front-panel 3-way rotary dial for Power On/Off, Input (source), and Volume Up/Down control.

Remote Control: The NuForce Dia includes an IR wireless remote control for simple operation of the integrated amplifier. The remote provides Power On/Off, Volume Up/Down, Mute, and Input (source) controls.

Silicon Stand: The NuForce Dia comes with a silicone stand to mount the integrated amplifier vertically on your desktop.

AC Power Supply: The NuForce Dia Integrated Amplifier operates off of standard household AC current using the supplied AC power adapter and detachable cord.

  • Input: 100-240V~1.5A, 50/60Hz
  • Output: 15VDC - 4.5A
