Nagra’s newest offerings featuring the “Reference” label include the Reference PreAmp, Reference DAC, and Reference Amp. The Reference Amp is derived from the HD Amp, which was initially created approximately a decade ago and draws upon various technological advancements from Nagra’s earlier amplifier models.

Nagra’s HD line, upon its initial launch, established new benchmarks in both technical and audio quality. This achievement stemmed from years of meticulous research and comprehensive listening evaluations aimed at confirming the scientific advancements of each HD product. Since its inception in 1951, Nagra has fostered a corporate ethos centered on the relentless pursuit of excellence. Coupled with the Swiss commitment to precision engineering, it was only natural that ongoing research and development of the HD line would lead to innovations that warranted the introduction of a product line capable of significantly enhancing the audio performance of the HD series.

Developed alongside the Reference PreAmp, the Reference Amp serves as the perfect companion for power amplification within a reference system. Nagra describes the Reference Amp as an “iron fist in a velvet glove.” It boasts a new power supply that is 25% larger than that of the HD Amp, incorporating numerous mechanical and electronic enhancements.

Currently, the Nagra website does not provide any technical specifications for the Reference Amp, only indicating that it is “coming soon.”
