It is built around Devialet's ADH (Analog Digital Hybrid) technology, which fuses the linearity of Class A with the efficiency and power of Class D to deliver clean, controlled output while running cool and compact. Rated at 2 x 300W into 4 ohms and 2 x 150W into 8 ohms, the Astra is designed to drive passive loudspeakers with authority and finesse.As a true all in one hub, the Astra streams over Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 with Roon Ready (RAAT), AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and UPnP. It handles high resolution digital to 24-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD128 over USB, and its measured THD+N of roughly 0.0012 percent reflects the engineering focus on transparency. The integrated phono stage means a turntable can connect directly, no outboard preamp required.The Astra is for the listener who wants a single, beautifully finished component that replaces a rack of separates while retaining flagship level resolution and dynamic ability. Pair it with high quality passive loudspeakers and it becomes the heart of a modern high-end system that is as simple to live with as it is capable.Key Features Flagship streaming integrated amplifier combining amplification, DAC, preamp, phono stage and network streamer in one chassis Devialet ADH (Analog Digital Hybrid) technology merging Class A linearity with Class D efficiency Rated 2 x 300W into 4 ohms and 2 x 150W into 8 ohms Roon Ready (RAAT) plus AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and UPnP Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 for flexible wireless streaming High resolution digital playback to 24-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD128 over USB Built-in phono stage for direct turntable connection Extremely low THD+N of about 0.0012 percent for transparent reproduction Precision machined aluminum chassis in Devialet's signature industrial design How the Astra ComparesDevialet Astra vs Accuphase E-800SThe Accuphase E-800S is a pure Class A integrated amplifier that centers on traditional analog engineering and warm, weighty tonality driven from a large heatsink chassis. The Devialet Astra takes a different path, folding a network streamer, DAC and phono stage into one machined enclosure using ADH amplification for a compact, streaming first system. Choose the Accuphase for a classic analog focused rig and the Astra for an all in one high resolution digital hub. See the Accuphase E-800S.Devialet Astra vs Luxman L-509Z Black CENTENNIAL EDITIONThe Luxman L-509Z Centennial is a heavyweight analog integrated amplifier built around Luxman's LIFES feedback circuit and a refined, richly textured presentation. The Astra emphasizes an integrated streaming platform with Roon, high resolution decoding and phono in a smaller chassis via ADH power. Pick the Luxman for a dedicated analog centerpiece and the Astra when you want streaming, DAC and amplification unified in one machine. See the Luxman L-509Z Black CENTENNIAL EDITION.Devialet Astra vs Accuphase E-700The Accuphase E-700 is a Class A integrated amplifier with a smooth, dimensional character and Accuphase's modular option card approach. The Devialet Astra instead builds streaming, DAC and phono directly into the unit with ADH amplification, making it a turnkey network system out of the box. Consider the E-700 for a modular analog build and the Astra for an integrated, streaming ready solution. See the Accuphase E-700.Recommended Speakers and SourceThe Astra drives passive loudspeakers with 2 x 300W into 4 ohms, so pair it with resolving passive designs that reward its clean power and detail. You can also add a turntable to make use of its built-in phono stage. Marten Oscar Trio This resolving floorstander rewards the Astra's transparency and low distortion with articulate, refined sound. Its passive design is an ideal match for the Astra's amplification. Gauder Akustik Arcona 100 MKII SD A detailed, dynamic passive floorstander that scales well with the Astra's 300W per channel into 4 ohms. It brings out the amplifier's speed and clarity. Spendor Classic 100 A three way stand mount with a natural, full bodied tonal balance that pairs beautifully with the Astra's clean power. A great choice for listeners who favor tonal richness. Amphion Argon 7LX A controlled directivity passive floorstander that thrives on accurate amplification, letting the Astra's resolution shine in real rooms. Yamaha GT-5000 A high mass belt drive turntable that connects straight into the Astra's built-in phono stage, adding analog playback without extra electronics.
