Nagra HD PREAMP and HD AMP 2020 Updates Teased
Nagra is already getting set for 2020 with new HD offerings being teased before Christmas.
We have had word from Nagra that we can expect a new HD AMP, HD PREAMP/HV, and HD Remote from the Swiss high-end hi-fi brand.
Nagra HD PREAMP HV
Firstly, the Nagra HD PREAMP gets a high voltage update.
The HV upgrade, as Nagra calls it, has redesigned boards with larger capacitors and a power supply that runs even more quietly. The manufacturers state that the HV update improves the sound of the HD PREAMP with more energy, dynamics as well as a full-bodied presentation.
The Nagra HV boards will come as standard in all new HD PREAMP from January 2020.
Also, the rather cool-looking Nagra HD PREAMP remote and charging station is being shipped with the new pre, and we are told that an HD DAC X version will soon follow.
Nagra HD AMP 2020
Additionally, the Nagra reference amplifier, the HD AMP, has also been updated.
There are no details available yet regarding what this entails, but the maker says that we can expect more headroom, refinement and warmth. Furthermore, all current HD AMPs can also be upgraded to the HD AMP 2020 standard.
Stay tuned for more information as we get it.
For further details, head over to Nagra.

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.
