The newest model in Copland's CSA range of tube/solid-state integrated amplifiers, the £4988 CSA150 increases its output over last year's CSA100 [HFN Aug '20] to a claimed 2×150W/80hm, and, says the Danish marque, offers 'a delicious combination of power, drive, free-breathing dynamics and natural tonality'. Also a hybrid in terms of its connectivity, the CSA150 features a headphone output plus USB-B, coaxial and two optical digital inputs, balanced XLR and three unbalanced RCA line ins and MM phono. System expansion comes via its tape input/output and analogue pre-out - it can also be fitted with an optional £198 aptX HD Bluetooth module. Digital-to-analogue conversion is handled by a 32-bit ES9018 quad-mono DAC. The CSA150 is available now in black or silver finishes, and Copland will complete the range later this spring with the entry-level CSA70 model (price to be confirmed).
