The NP3 runs the full gamut of connectivity choices. With this accessible pre-amplifier, you’re sure to find an input for your music. Including not one, but two USB-A inputs (front and back), connect external pen drives or hard drives for quick and easy MP3 playback. A USB-B input is also available for PC files, with up to 24 bit / 192 kHz resolution. As well as USB, the NP3 is ready to connect via digital optical and coaxial inputs and outputs, so you can synergise with your home audio system in more ways than one.
Streaming the Hits
One of the main draws of the NP3 is its high-quality streaming capabilities. If you’re not tapping into your CD collection, why not tune into an enormous catalogue of radio channels? Including FM, DAB+ and internet radio, you’ll never be short of things to listen to. Connecting via WiFi or ethernet also gives you access to network streaming, letting you listen to instant music services such as Tidal, Deezer and Spotify. Thanks to DLNA and UPnP, a LAN connection is all you need to play music stored on local servers.
Total Control
The IOTA VX NP3 has the means of being more than just another component in your audio system. Controllable either by the ergonomic front-panel dial or via the handy remote control, volume adjustment is completely in your hands. Whether as an audio source or as a full pre-amplifier for other equipment in your home audio chain, connecting to a stereo power amplifier is all you need to listen to your favourite music. The remote also lets you read track information, dim the display and select your source.
CD Player
A letterbox-style, mechanised CD slot is situated at the centre of the IOTA VX NP3’s front panel, ready to take on your collection. So whether that’s below 10 or over 100 discs, make this pre-amplifier a home for your music. CD WAV files and MP3 are fully supported, widening the scope of just what you can play here.
Build Quality
IOTA Enterprises have engineered the NP3 for strength. They know that people rely on music daily and want you to be able to listen for a long time to come. That’s why they have used a heavy steel casing to increase durability, as well as promote coherence and minimal resonance with high-quality circuitry and components.
Bluetooth Adaptor
As the final piece of the puzzle, the IOTA VX NP3 can be fitted with the IOTA Bluetooth Adapter (sold separately). This extension piece equips the pre-amplifier with a streamlined wireless connection to your smart devices. You can use this to mirror audio from your tablet, smartphone or compatible portable music device.
