In the world of high-end audio, few products can truly claim to be game-changers. However, our Perreaux 300iX Reference Integrated Amplifier review reveals a product that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of even the most discerning audiophiles. This powerhouse from Perreaux is a testament to the brand's commitment to pushing the boundaries of audio excellence.

Unparalleled Power and Precision

At the heart of the Perreaux 300iX lies a formidable powerhouse, delivering an astonishing 300 Watts RMS of continuous, distortion-free power into 8 Ohms. This unbridled power is not just about volume; it's about maintaining pristine audio quality even when driving the most demanding loudspeakers. The hybrid Class-A/AB design ensures that the first 10 watts operate in pure Class-A, providing the warmth and richness audiophiles crave, while seamlessly transitioning to Class-AB for high-power demands.

Versatility Meets Cutting-Edge Technology

The 300iX is not just an amplifier; it's a complete audio solution. With its integrated ES SABRE Reference 9038 PRO 32-bit/384kHz asynchronous USB DAC, this unit is ready to handle the most demanding digital audio sources. Whether you're streaming high-resolution files from your computer or connecting via Bluetooth, the 300iX ensures that every nuance of your music is faithfully reproduced.

The inclusion of a high-quality MM/MC phono stage is a boon for vinyl enthusiasts, allowing seamless integration of turntables without the need for external phono preamps. This attention to both digital and analogue sources showcases Perreaux's understanding of the modern audiophile's needs.

Customisation and Control

One of the most striking features of the 300iX is its customisability. Available in any colour imaginable, this amplifier can be a statement piece or blend seamlessly into your listening environment. The high-contrast OLED display and intuitive controls, including a dedicated iOS/Android app, make operation a breeze.

For those who appreciate personal listening, the integrated SXH2 Class A headphone amplifier is a revelation. Capable of driving headphones from 8 to 600 Ohms, it brings the Perreaux magic to your private listening sessions.
