Emotiva Differential Reference® Design Series Stack

The Differential Reference® Design Series Stack includes four beautifully matched components: a streamer, a DAC (digital-to-analog converter), a stereo preamp, and a power amplifier. Each has its own compact case, identical in size and style, so they form a tidy tower of power on your shelf. You save space and still get serious muscle and performance.

Inside, a fully balanced Differential Reference® layout lowers noise and preserves detail. Voices sound lifelike, bass stays tight, and dynamics feel effortless. Use the Volumio® app to play Qobuz, ® TIDAL®, and more with a lifetime Premium license included. For TV audio, connect one HDMI cable to the DAC’s HDMI-ARC input. Trigger links let everything power on together for one-touch ease.

Key specs: 100 watts x 2 at 8 ohms, 130 x 2 at 4 ohms, or 400 bridged; ESS ES9038Q2M; SNR up to 120 dB; THD+N as low as 0.0008 percent. Translation: dead quiet with big headroom.

With the purchase of the full stack, you get built-in savings and a free Cable Kit ($100 value) with Emotiva XLR, trigger, and digital coax cables.
