Plinius Inspire 880 Integrated Amplifier (Solid State)

2 hours ago 13

Electrical Disclaimer Description


Very good condition Plinius Inspire 880 integrated amplifier with onboard DAC and moving magnet phonostage.  Power Output is a healthy 80 watts per channel into 8 ohms, and 100 watts into 4 ohms.  As with all Plinius products the build quality is excellent and the sound magic.

Digital Connectivity via USB (Asynchronous) supporting up to 24-bit/192ks/s for PC connection. Optical Toslink – two inputs supporting up to 24-bit/96ks/s.  Analogue inputs include the built-in Moving Magnet phonostage, two line-level RCA inputs, and a balanced XLR CD input (I used the line stage input for RCA from a streamer).  Comes with the original double box, manual, QA sheet, remote (remote is a little warn and has a ‘homemade’ battery cover but functions fine), factory power cable and a Pure Av 2.25m long Toslink cable.
