The folks over at Emotiva have revealed a trio of new audio amplifiers, including two made for those with a smaller budgets.  The UPA-200 and UPA-500 come in at $350 and $399 respectively.  The 200 is a two channel amp made to be paired up with an existing 5.1 channel amp for those that want to expand to 7.1 sound.  The UPA-500 gives you five channels and includes a toroidal transformer, flat frequency response and a low distortion rate.

Headphone amplifiers are an oft ignored piece of the full audio experience, but a great amp can make a huge difference in sound quality.  Cary's new Nighthawk aims to be just that with its Class A operations and monolithic, high speed FET.

NAD has introduced a pair of integrated amps that pack something new – a 24/96 DAC for USB.  The added DAC aims to liven up your compressed audio and give you the best listening experience possible with your digital files.  Of course, there's more to the new C 375DAC and C 356DAC than just a USB DAC.

The B-135 SST² is the new flagship integrated amplifier from Bryston, and is made to come in and replace the B-100, which has held the spot for seven years.  Bryston's B-135 SST² offers 135 watts per channel and features Bryston's most advanced analog circuitry for its preamp channel.
