The QUAD 3 brings a stunning blend of timeless QUAD design and cutting-edge technology, delivering an integrated amplifier solution that caters to both traditional analogue enthusiasts and modern digital audiophiles alike.

OLD SOUL, NEW STANDARD

Quad 3 is a compact integrated amplifier featuring 65W per channel (8Ω) Class AB amplification, a high-performance ESS9038Q2M DAC, MM phono stage, and HDMI ARC. With extensive digital and analogue connectivity, it’s ideal for modern two-channel listeners who demand versatility, clarity, and classic design.

 

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARC

Quad 3’s HDMI ARC input creates perfect symmetry between your TV and two-channel stereo system, unlocking richer, more articulate sound from movies, series, music streaming, and games––all with the convenience of single-cable simplicity and volume control via your TV remote.

 

HEADROOM NOT HEADACHES

A custom-engineered Class AB amplifier—driven by a 235VA toroidal transformer and 30,000uF capacitor bank—forms an architecture built for dynamic headroom and confident drive. Quad 3 delivers remarkable control, so that even at low volumes bass lines stay grounded and transients land with authority.
