Stereo 230

Firmly re-established as a Hi-Fi mainstay, the LEAK product portfolio is expanding with the new LEAK Stereo 230 – a high-performance, high fidelity integrated amplifier designed for the modern-day audio and movie enthusiast.

Building upon the class and style that made the Stereo 130 a rip-roaring success, the LEAK Stereo 230 adds more power, more functionality and more substance for the discerning audiophile.

Movie & Music Enthusiast at Its Heart

The LEAK Stereo 230’s all-round performance is engaging, detailed and refined. Detail, timing and dynamics excel, regardless of source or medium.

Designed for the modern-day movie and music enthusiast with a nod to our heritage, the LEAK Stereo 230 does not discriminate when it comes to expression and enjoyment of your music and movie reproduction.

Turntable Ready

Traditional audiophiles will recognise the assured quality in the high-quality, low-noise turntable input of the LEAK Stereo 230. Optimised for moving magnet cartridges, the JFET-based circuit offers precise RIAA equalisation in accordance with de facto industry standards for vinyl record playback.

Headphone Users

The LEAK Stereo 230 uses a dedicated amplifier circuit with current-feedback technology for the headphone output. Equal in performance to standalone headphone amplifiers, beyond the price class of this complete system, the design offers high-speed output signal transition thanks to a high slew rate. The result is a dynamic, detailed and engaging performance with all manner of headphone types.

Conversion Without Compromise

Utilising the acclaimed ES9038 Sabre32 Reference chip with ESS Technology’s 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, the LEAK Stereo 230 offers ultra-low noise, high dynamic range of digital audio files with a sampling rate of up to 384kHz (PCM) and DSD256.

Arc de Triomphe

Equipped with an Audio Return Channel (ARC) connection, the LEAK Stereo 230 integrates perfectly for home AV applications, bringing the LEAK Hi-Fi pedigree to your screen, too.
