The Quad VA-One can be a central peice for your audio haven that you can build your system around. The VA-One is a compact tube amplifier with integrated DAC and tube-driven headphone amp, which has amazing sound reproduction from proven engineering, and has positive reviews across the web.


"The Quad combines control and involvement with sweetness, plus a bass that’s both warm and rich but never overly bloomy."


"And yes, you can crank the volume up to exciting levels, the amplifier still having power in hand for the dynamics of the music without any nasties creeping in: the power delivery remains even-handed and the sound just as mellifluous."


- Andrew Everard, Gramophone UK


"Depth of image is good if not fabulous and you don’t get the reverb that a (more pricey) solid state amp would deliver but musically it’s a charmer."


"What it does well is communicate the emotional message of the music."


- Jason Kennedy, The Ear HiFi Music Gear

FROM THE MANUFACTURER:



With a footprint measuring just 18 x 33cm, the VA-One is conveniently compact for a valve amp – sufficiently small to sit comfortably on a desk, table or shelf. Yet it packs in a wealth of high-performance audio technology: a hi-res DAC (Digital-to-Analogue Converter) joins valve-based preamp and power amp circuits to deliver sumptuous sound quality from a multitude of playback devices – from smartphones and tablets, to PCs and Macs, to hi-fi source components.
