Well reviewed integrated that never really took off here in Oz. Has a lot of functionality with Apple products and PC ready but I don't know to what extent as I don't have an elaborate digital rig. These retailed for over 2k. Purchased new from Caxton Audio here in Brisbane, complete with original factory packaging and remote.

Finally out after a long wait, the integrated amp "groove" is the attractive component achieved by adding new technologies to the proven circuit design of the original Aura. 75W+75W output is secured by arranging MOS-FETs in a parallel push-pull configuration.

With the fresh and warm feeling of an analog amp, the "groove" proves its true worth with a transparent modern representation. This unusual ability is greeted with disbelieve by many who hear it. Fanciers of the earlier Aura approve the new version as an authentic successor, especially when it so easily drives a low-efficiency speaker.

A truly contemporary device, " groove" easily connects to iPod or PC with proper cable. You can always be plugged into the music with "groove."

The basic circuits is based on old Aura VA50 but has been refined in further details, securing the newest specification on S/N and dynamic range, New power transistors have the same specifications as Hitachi's MOSFET J162 and K1058, but the large-sized toraoidal transformer and twin parallel push-pull output configuration yield more output power, 75W_75W.

Aura's characteristic warm sound quality continues today by adopting the original devices, meeting the quality demanded by audiophiles with a Cirrus Logic CS3310 volume control, used in many of high-end products. Despite an analog-only connection, elaborate design with a view toward sound quality allows high-performance playback from iPod. The USB terminal for PC connection makes possible convenient play with high-grade sound from a hard disk.
