Audiolab Omnia Stereo 100W Network Amplifier and CD Player

Extremely robust and reliable; the Audiolab Omnia Stereo builds on the class-leading 6000CDT CD transport with a read-ahead digital buffer to reduce disc-reading failures.

Such is the performance of this CD mechanism, Omnia can play scratched and damaged CDs that are unreadable by conventional mechanisms.

Connectivity Options for Traditional Audio Sources

Utilizing high-quality analog preamp circuitry, akin to the acclaimed audio lab 6000 series, coupled to line-level RCA inputs to connect analog sources, the preamp circuitry is kept as simple as possible.

Using high-quality components to maintain signal purity, with line input signals passing to a precision analog volume stage, Audiolab Omnia Stereo is an outstanding pre-amp, in its own right.

A dedicated MM phono input means a turntable can be directly connected to Omnia via a high-quality, low-noise, phono stage with precise RIAA equalization.

This phono stage is continuing evolution on the award-winning 6000 series – engineered to make the most of the music nestling within an LP’s grooves.

Networked Audio Playback

For networked audio playback, the Audiolab Omnia Stereo is equipped with an ethernet port, lending itself to a wired connection and the wider bandwidth requirements of high-resolution digital audio.

For the most convenient access to wireless music playback, Audiolab Omnia Stereo offers Bluetooth connectivity with high-quality, low latency, with the Bluetooth aptX standard.

The Audiolab Omnia Stereo Wi-Fi networking is powered by DTS Play-Fi: an app-controlled platform enabling high-quality, whole-home wireless audio, capable of streaming hi-res music up to 24-bit/192kHz and supported by a greater range of established audio brands than any other wireless platform.

USB DAC Section & More

The USB DAC section is based on Audiolab’s long-term partner, and multi-award-winning, pedigree. The new ESS9038 Q2M SABRE 32 Reference DAC performs D/A conversion, utilizing ESS Technology’s 32-bit HypersStream II architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator to deliver ultra-low noise and high dynamic range.

No company knows more about making the most of this technically excellent, but challenging, DAC technology than Audiolab; the universally acclaimed M-DAC was one of the first home audio components to incorporate an ESS chip back in 2011, and the company has been honing its implementation ever since.

Via the USB DAC section, the Audiolab Omnia also offers full decoding of MQA (Master Quality Authenticated). MQA is an award-winning British technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording.

The Omnia includes MQA decoder technology, which enables you to play back MQA audio files and streams – received via the USB input – at the original file’s full resolution and passes the signal through its DAC and preamp stages. MQA files are available via subscription to TIDAL’s ‘HiFi’ tier (among other sources).

IPS LCD Screen

Firmly planting itself as a very useable piece of high-tech equipment, the Audiolab Omnia uses a color IPS LCD screen, offering a higher clarity of color and lower power consumption than TFT displays.

Via the captivating display, the Audiolab Omnia Stereo offers a simplified general user interface and a graphical integration with your music source and playback formats.

Audiolab Omnia Stereo also uses a new protocol for a real-time VU meter display, adding a touch of hi-fi finesse to the very functional, equally good-looking, display interface.

Like To Use Headphones

The Audiolab Omnia Stereo incorporates a dedicated headphone amp with current-feedback circuitry. Its gain bandwidth and high slew rate ensure a dynamic, detailed, and engaging performance with all headphone types – more boxes ticked for this most all-in-one of all-in-one systems!

Connect With Zero Complexity

Powering your speakers is a doddle with zero complexity, in terms of configuration. Simply connect your passive speakers to the Audiolab Omnia and you have access to a world of audio sources with impeccable playback.

The discrete Class AB power amp stage delivers 50W per channel into 8 ohms, with a maximum current delivery of 9 Amps, into difficult loads.

The output stage of the discrete power amp circuits uses a CFB (Complementary Feedback) topology, ensuring superior linearity and excellent thermal stability, as the idle current is kept independent of the temperature of the output transistors.

A substantial 200VA toroidal transformer, followed by a 4×15,000uF reservoir capacity (60,000uF in total), helps the amp to maintain firm control of the music whilst enabling excellent dynamic range. More than just a class leader, the Omnia is a class-beater in terms of amplifier performance!
