About the DiVA A90
The Arcam DiVA A90 is a high-performance stereo integrated amplifier from Arcam's DiVA series, released in 2004. It offers 90 watts per channel into 8 ohms (both channels driven, 20Hz-20kHz) and is 4-ohm stable with 150W into 4 ohms (single channel, 1kHz). Designed for flexibility, it features a switchable pre/power mode, two pairs of speaker outputs, tone controls (±12dB bass/treble), balance control, headphone output, and a digital menu system accessed via the CR-389 remote. Inputs include 6 line-level (DVD, AV, TUNER, CD, AUX, etc.), 2 tape loops (one with fixed gain for AV processors), and optional MM/MC phono module (2.5mV MM / 0.25mV MC sensitivity). It supports bi-wiring, DC-coupled design, ultra-wide dynamic range, and fast slew rate. The A90 can pair with the P90 power amp for enhanced setups. Now discontinued, it is praised for neutral sound, build quality, and value, ideal for stereo and multi-channel upgrades.
