Volumio Integro Streaming Integrated Amp - Just Add Speakers

Volumio's Integro is the latest just-add-speakers system to hit the market and sports Italian style alongside a host of connectivity options.
Pitched as a plug-and-play hi-fi system, this sleek, compact streaming integrated amplifier offers dual mono Class-D tech and enough ports to accommodate multiple sources, including audio from your Turntable, TV or phone. Naturally, it being Volumio's forte, you can access your digital music library and streaming services, such as TIDAL, Qobuz or Roon in up to 192kHz/ 24bit via Gigabit LAN or dual-band Wi-Fi, all from a single unit. Literally, just add speakers.
Volumio specs the pair of MA12070P amplifiers from Infineon in dual-mono configuration as dishing out 2x50W RMS into an 8 Ohm load, 2x70W RMS into 4 Ohms.
Alternatively, you might want to take advantage of what Volumio boasts as being "one of the world's best-sounding headphone amplifiers" via the fascia-mounted 3.5mm output jack. Here, a PCM5122 DAC is partnered with with a TPA6120A2 headphone amplifier, both from Texas Instruments. The result is 192kHz with 24bit resolution and 2x300mW RMS @ 64 Ohm, 2x480mW @ 32 Ohm.
On the subject of inputs and outputs, around the rear, as well as the speaker output posts, you get USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, an ethernet port, HDMI video input, COAX input and stereo analogue RCA inputs. There are also Subwoofer and HDMI outputs and a Micro-SD card slot for enhanced storage. Finally, Bluetooth connectivity is offered in 5.0 flavour.
The Integro is a smart-looking component and will no doubt slip in nicely to any living room, bedroom or office thanks to its stylish antimagnetic aluminium chassis topped off by two orange knobs to control volume and input options, accompanied by a sharp OLED display.
You can control everything via the Volumio Universal platform featuring a multi-room version of the Manifest user interface for "simple and intuitive management of your musical content". Additionally, you get access to the recently announced AI music discovery service powered by ChatGPT via Supersearch, which will offer better recommendations and more accurate results so that you get more music and less track skipping.
The Volumio Integro is available now, priced at €1,199.

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.
