QUAD Platina Integrated Amplifier | Premium Integrated Amp | Martins Hi-Fi

Transform your system. Command your music.

The QUAD Platina Integrated redefines what's possible from a modern integrated amplifier. Five years of meticulous engineering have created a 200W powerhouse that combines muscular authority with audiophile finesse. Simply connect your sources and experience music with breathtaking realism, from vinyl whispers to streaming symphonies.

Features & Benefits

Dual Mono Power Architecture

Delivers 200W per channel into 8 ohms (300W into 4 ohms) through completely isolated left and right amplification paths. Your speakers receive pure, uncompromised power that maintains absolute control even during the most demanding passages. The result? Effortless dynamics with vast headroom that never runs out of breath.

ES9038 Pro Reference DAC

At the heart of the digital section lies the flagship ES9038 Pro chip with dual master clocks for vanishingly low jitter. Stream up to PCM 768kHz and DSD512 with five selectable filter settings to tailor the sound precisely to your taste. Every digital source, from Spotify to high-res files, sounds remarkably lifelike.

Roon Tested Certification

Seamlessly integrates with Roon's acclaimed music management system. Browse your entire digital library with rich metadata, discover new music through intelligent recommendations, and control multi-room audio—all from one elegant interface. QUAD worked directly with Roon to ensure flawless compatibility.

Advanced MM/MC Phono Stage

QUAD's most sophisticated phono stage yet uses JFET technology for exceptional low-noise performance. Three selectable gain settings (46/52/60dB) and adjustable impedance perfectly match any cartridge. Your vinyl collection has never sounded this resolved, dynamic, and engaging.

Bespoke Component Engineering

Custom capacitors developed exclusively with Würth Elektronik form the backbone of the design. A massive 630VA toroidal transformer with 44,000uF capacitance per channel ensures unwavering power delivery. Every component was selected by ear over five years of development.

Comprehensive Connectivity

Connect everything: balanced XLR, RCA, MM/MC phono, dual optical, dual coaxial, USB-C (768kHz/DSD512), and HDMI ARC for TV integration. The current-feedback headphone amplifier drives even demanding headphones with lightning-fast transient response.

Intelligent User Interface

A full-colour 4.3" TFT display with intuitive GUI makes complex settings accessible at a glance. Navigate options, adjust parameters, and monitor system status with precision. The premium remote control offers instant access to all functions across the entire Platina series.

SMD Circuit Optimisation

Extensive surface-mount technology creates shorter signal paths with lower impedance and reduced noise. This sophisticated topology improves high-frequency performance, thermal stability, and long-term reliability whilst maintaining QUAD's renowned musical integrity.
