Digital Input Amplifier

   The NuForce Dia Integrated Amplifier fits your digital 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 24bit/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:

  • Wide screen and high-definition TVs
  • Satellite receivers and set-top boxes
  • Gaming consoles
  • Blu-Ray/DVD/CD players
  • Media streaming devices like Airport Express and Apple TV

By performing high-quality digital-to-analog conversion separately, Dia adds a new level of realism and exquisite detail to virtually every component you may already ownwithout any additional receivers or peripherals.

For example, by connecting your flatscreen TV's digital audio output to Dia driving your pair of high-quality speakers (including an optional subwoofer), you can get high-performance stereo sound without having to set up a home-theater receiver.

You also can connect any wireless media streaming devices such as Airport Express and Apple TV to Dia and a pair of speakers to form a compact, high-performance wireless system that fills the room with sound.

Whatever component you want to plug in for exquisite audiophile-quality soundwithout the bulky receiverDia translates the digital audio signal to analog sound via high-quality 24-bit D/A converters that operate exclusively at the data's native sample rate for maximum clarity and detail.1
