QUAD ARTERA SOLUS ALL-IN-ONE NOW SHIPPING
We're big fans of iconic British brand Quad and even bigger fans of all-in-one products that bring Hi-Fi sound and convenience to the masses.
And that's exactly what the Artera Solus does. A fully integrated streamer, CD player, high-res DAC, and boasting 2x75 watts power output, the Artera Solus could be all you need for your living space, office or holiday home.
The Artera Solus features an ESS Sabre32 9018; a 32-bit, eight-channel hybrid multi-bit Delta-Sigma DAC which is highly capable and well respected by audio aficionados.
With four digital filter options, you can adjust the audio from both CDs and your external sources to your individual preference.
Digital inputs include USB, with support for PCM data up to 32-bit/384kHz and also DSD64/128/256, ensuring the Artera Solus is fully equipped to make the most of today’s hi-res music formats.
There's also two coaxial, two optical and one USB Type B inputs, along with a pair of RCA inputs for analogue sources, or a turntable. Outputs include one pair of single-ended RCA and one pair of Balanced XLR outputs.
It also uses the same CD mechanism and circuitry as found in its Artera Play, and also adds Bluetooth aptX streaming for convenient playback from mobile devices.
Quad has also hinted at the release of an app-controlled big brother to the Artera Solus expected later this year.
Available now in black or silver, the Quad Artera Solus sells for £1,499.95 MSRP.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
