· Amplifier capable of 2 x 150W @ 8 ohms and 2 x 200W @ 4 ohms power · Wi-Fi 24-bit/192kHz and Bluetooth 5.0 aptX HD streaming · Multiple digital and analog inputs, with up to IIS 32-bit/768kHz, USB 24-bit/384kHz,
and DSD256 decoding · Supports all major online streaming services, network DLNA, AirPlay, and AirPlay 2
streaming The free iOS and Android app allow you to easily control your smart music system and select your source music and group destination speakers (including receiving streamers).
TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS
A combination of high-power Class-D amplifier, 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 processor, NuPrime proprietary SRC chip, Cirrus Logic CS43131 DAC, plus other audiophile-grade components enable the Omnia A300 to achieve world class performance above its peers.

The Omnia A300 utilizes a compact yet powerful Class-D amplifier capable of signal bandwidth up to 100kHz with advanced integrated feedback design and error correction for very low noise and distortion. The Cirrus Logic CS43131 combines a next-generation, low power audio DAC with a high-fidelity headphone amplifier to provide a superior system-level audio performance. The onboard low noise, ground-centered headphone amplifier provides proprietary AC impedance detection to support headphone fingerprinting to provide a consistent and transparent audio experience for the end user regardless of transducer impedances or frequency responses.

LISTENING OPTIMIZATION
· A user-selectable switch allows the matching to 4Ohms or 8Ohms load speakers. We recommend the 8R setting for most use cases except for speakers with very low impedance (i.e., lower than 4Ohms) for a more natural sound. Therefore, even if you have a 4 ohms nominal impedance speaker, you should try to listen with 8R settings or compare and settle down on one you prefer.
· The linear and neutral sonic bias of the A300 makes it suitable for a wide range of speakers and sources. The EQ presets and loudness (bass enhancement) selections tuned via a highspeed DSP allows further sound tailoring to the system and music.

NUPRIME'S LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES
ADDITIONAL RIGHTS For consumers, who are covered by consumer protection laws or regulations in their country of purchase or, if different, their country of residence, the benefits conferred by this warranty are in addition to all rights and remedies conveyed by such consumer protection laws and regulations. This warranty does not exclude, limit or suspend any rights of consumers arising out of nonconformity with a sales contract. Some countries, states and provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or allow limitations on how long an implied warranty or condition may last, so the limitations or exclusions described below may not apply to you.

NuPrime is not responsible for direct, special, incidental or consequential damages resulting from any breach of warranty or condition, or under any other legal theory, including but not limited to lost profits, downtime, goodwill, damage to or replacement of equipment and property, any costs of recovering, reprogramming, or reproducing any program or data stored in or used with NuPrime products, and any failure to maintain the confidentiality of data stored on the product. NuPrime specifically does not represent that it will be able to repair any product under this warranty or make a product exchange without risk to or loss of programs or data.
Some states and provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or exclusions or limitations on the duration of implied warranties or conditions, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

Proof of purchase in the form of a bill of sale or receipted invoice which is evidence that the unit is within the Warranty period must be presented to obtain warranty service.
Replacement as provided under this warranty is the exclusive remedy of the consumer. Nuprime shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages for breach of any express or implied warranty on this product. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose on this product is limited in duration to the duration of this warranty.
