Leak Stereo 230 Amplifier
The Leak Stereo 230 Amplifier is a powerful and versatile integrated amplifier designed for today’s music lovers and home cinema enthusiasts. Building on the hugely popular Leak Stereo 130 Amplifier, this upgraded model delivers greater power, enhanced connectivity and improved performance while maintaining the timeless design that has made Leak one of the most recognisable names in British hi-fi.
Engineered to provide an engaging and refined listening experience, the Leak Stereo 230 combines traditional analogue musicality with advanced digital technology. Whether you are enjoying vinyl records, streaming high-resolution audio or connecting your television, the amplifier delivers clarity, dynamics and musical precision across every source.
Powerful Integrated Amplifier Performance
At the heart of the Leak Stereo 230 is a high-performance amplifier stage designed to drive a wide range of loudspeakers with confidence and control. Compared to its predecessor, the Stereo 230 offers increased output power and greater authority, making it ideal for both dedicated hi-fi listening rooms and modern living spaces.
Dynamic and Engaging Sound Quality
The amplifier is engineered to deliver exceptional timing, detail and dynamic expression. From subtle acoustic recordings to powerful orchestral passages or cinematic soundtracks, the Stereo 230 maintains composure and musical balance. The result is a rich and immersive listening experience that captures the emotion and energy of your favourite music.
High-Resolution DAC with ESS Sabre Technology
Digital audio performance is handled by the renowned ESS ES9038 Sabre32 Reference DAC, a chipset widely respected in high-end audio design. Using ESS Technology’s advanced HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, the Stereo 230 converts digital signals with remarkable precision and extremely low noise levels.
High Resolution Audio Support
This advanced DAC allows the amplifier to support high-resolution audio formats including PCM files up to 384kHz and DSD256. As a result, music streamed from a network player, computer or digital transport is reproduced with impressive clarity, detail and depth.
Turntable Ready with Dedicated Phono Stage
Vinyl enthusiasts will appreciate the high-quality moving magnet phono stage built directly into the Leak Stereo 230. The phono input uses a carefully designed JFET-based circuit to deliver extremely low noise and accurate RIAA equalisation, ensuring faithful reproduction of analogue recordings.
High Performance Headphone Amplifier
The Leak Stereo 230 also caters for private listening with a dedicated headphone amplifier circuit that delivers performance comparable to standalone headphone amplifiers. Using current-feedback technology and a high slew rate design, the headphone output offers fast signal transitions and excellent control.
HDMI ARC for TV and Home Entertainment
For modern home entertainment systems, the Leak Stereo 230 includes an HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) connection. This feature allows the amplifier to connect directly to a television, dramatically improving the sound quality of films, television shows and streaming services.
Timeless Leak Design
Visually, the Leak Stereo 230 stays true to the brand’s classic design heritage. The amplifier features the distinctive Walnut Silver finish, combining warm wood panels with a clean aluminium front panel that echoes the styling of vintage Leak components.
