Using high-quality components to maintain signal purity, with line input signals passing to a precision analogue volume stage, Omnia is an outstanding pre-amp, in its own right.Ī dedicated MM phono input means a turntable can be directly connected to Omnia via a high-quality, low-noise, phono stage with precise RIAA equalisation.

Utilising high-quality analogue preamp circuitry, akin to the acclaimed audiolab 6000 series, coupled to line-level RCA inputs to connect analogue sources, the preamp circuitry is kept as simple as possible. Such is the performance of this CD mechanism, Omnia is able to play scratched and damaged CDs that are unreadable by conventional mechanisms.Ĭonnectivity Options for Traditional Audio Sources To sum it up, the audiolab Omnia is a cd player, integrated ampliﬁer, wireless streaming player, DAC, headphone ampliﬁer, and pre-amp – in one single unit!Įxtremely robust and reliable the Omnia’s CD drive builds on the class-leading 6000CDT CD transport with a read-ahead digital buﬀer to reduce disc-reading failures.

However you listen to your music, Omnia has got you covered. In a world where music is more available than ever and sources more varied than ever, Omnia doesn’t discriminate. Omnia is attractive but discreet, oﬀering the perfect balance for living rooms and listening rooms alike. Unfussy yet striking in appearance, the curved, brushed aluminum chassis is ‘typical audiolab’ but evolved to suit the modern-day living environment. The audiolab Omnia maintains the award-winning, instantly recognisable, audiolab design cues. Yet, indulgence in design, material aesthetics, and useability mean it has all of the functionality to make it a sleek, convenient and easy-to-use center-piece, for an uncompromising home audio system. We use inline attenuation from the AA CDP anyway (improves refinement/pre amp not being overloaded) so I predict that the volume range on the amplifier will be similar.Audiolab Omnia streaming integrated amplifier with CD driveīlurring the lines that generally diﬀerentiate hi-ﬁ and lifestyle, Omnia brings all of the pedigree that helps make audiolab electronics the connoisseur’s choice. The output of the DAC is 1.7 volts which I think will work well with the amplifier. This will be connected via an Apple camera adapter (the one with separate power) to the Arcam amplifier.

I have just ordered a Cyrus Soundkey portable DAC to upgrade the output from the iPad. Dad is signed up to the £13 pm package which gives lossless + access to everything except the live concerts. Because his eyesight is so poor mum does need to help him find the recording after I have saved what he would like to his favourites - my only criticism of IDAGIO so far is that the text and album icons could be bigger/more legible. He is currently using the IDAGIO app on my mum’s old iPad Air 2 - the first time he has ever used an iPad /computer in his life. My father is really enjoying IDAGIO and the music it has given him access to.

He would subscribe to the Premium+ service which costs £13pm and plays full CD resolution - that seems to be the highest possible.

I have downloaded the free version of IDAGIO onto my iPad at home and I read out some of the catalogue over the phone - dad was generally impressed so I think he is tempted. Number 1 seems the most expensive but also the most likely to work without any issues - has anyone come up with an alternative, good quality and reliable option? Use my mum’s rather old laptop, buy a usb DAC etc….Use the I-pad, buy a USB ready DAC, an Apple camera adapter, link it all together and hope it works!.Buy a Bluesound Node (whatever the current model?) and control it through the IDAGIO app - mum has an I-pad.He would take one look at some of the album art, playlist pictures or Explicit tags on something like Tidal and turn it off in contempt.ĭoes anyone have experience of IDAGIO and the best way to access/stream it in terms of reliability and SQ? Unfortunately very few HiFi streamers support the service with Bluesound and Burmester being the notable exceptions.

Doing a bit of research has suggested IDAGIO as the best (currently the only - the other service is offline due to being taken over by Amazon) purely classical streaming service. My 83 year old father has suggested getting into streaming but he is strictly classical music (he is a pianist and organist).
