The QUAD Platina Integrated is QUAD's flagship Class AB integrated amplifier, rated at 200W per channel into 8 Ω and 310W into 4 Ω with 20A peak current. It uses a dual-mono layout with a 630VA toroidal transformer and 44,000 µF of reservoir capacitance per channel, so it is built to drive demanding speakers. A built-in ESS Sabre ES9038PRO DAC handles PCM up to 768 kHz and DSD512, and there is a JFET MM/MC phono stage plus HDMI ARC, pre-outs and a dedicated headphone amp. It suits listeners who want one large, heavy amplifier to run a full system, including vinyl and headphones, rather than separate boxes. Against rivals it stands out for its power supply size and onboard phono stage; the trade-offs are its bulk, its Class AB heat output and a feature set aimed at sound quality rather than streaming apps.

The QUAD Platina Integrated is a Class AB integrated amplifier with a built-in DAC and phono stage. It uses a dual-mono design and delivers 2 x 200 W into 8 Ω and 2 x 310 W into 4 Ω, with peak current up to 20 A. Its power supply has a 630 VA toroidal transformer, 44,000 µF of reservoir capacitance per channel and custom Würth Elektronik capacitors.
The DAC uses an ESS Sabre ES9038PRO chip with dual master clocks. It supports PCM up to 768 kHz and native DSD512 over USB. It also offers optional PCM upsampling and 5 user-selectable reconstruction filters. The phono stage is a JFET MM/MC design with three gain settings (46 dB, 52 dB and 60 dB), which are adjusted through the on-screen interface.
Controls are machined aluminum, and a 4.3-inch IPS color display shows the graphical user interface. The amplifier has a step-based 4-channel active volume control and a current-feedback headphone amplifier that drives loads from 20 Ω to 600 Ω. It is Roon Tested.
