All the Sources
Edge NQ lets you enjoy music from any source. As well as digital coaxial, HDMI, USB, and S/PDIF connections, there’s also Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz, AirPlay, Bluetooth aptX HD, Internet Radio, and UPnP Playback. Roon Ready certification enhances your browsing experience. Wherever songs are played from, Edge NQ stays true to the character of every instrument and uncovers a musicality you’ve never heard before.
Stunning Digital Detail
With a wealth of connections, including digital coaxial, ARC (Audio Return Channel), USB, and S/PDIF, our engineers have ensured that all of your digital content can be enjoyed at up to 24-bit/384kHz and DSD 256. Edge NQ offers an incredibly revealing sound that has detailed tone, rhythmic drive, and taut bass.
Sonic Balance
Edge NQ was designed with a unique PCB. Our engineers replaced conventional capacitors with a DC-coupled topology and also added a solid-state volume control. The end result is a clean signal path that’s perfectly balanced at any volume.
Award-Winning Streaming Software
Edge NQ boasts the very latest version of our award-winning streaming module. Designed in-house, right here in the UK, it features a new, faster chipset and support for both 4-bit/192 kHz and DSD128 files. The addition of Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz, AirPlay, Bluetooth aptX HD, and Internet radio means you can enjoy your music whatever the source. Roon Ready certification enhances your browsing experience.
Chromecast Built-in
Thanks to Chromecast Built-in, hundreds of music services, including Sirius XM & SoundCloud, can be enjoyed on the Edge NQ. Just tap the cast button in your favourite app to stream music from your smartphone, tablet, or laptop in stunning high-definition sound, up to 24 bit/96 kHz.
Fixed Line-out Mode
If you wish to connect the Edge NQ to an integrated amplifier rather than a power amplifier, the streaming functionality can be used independently of the preamplifier. The preamplifier can be disabled via the dedicated Edge app for iOS and Android.
Perfect Partners
Edge systems are designed to work in perfect synchronisation. Match the Edge NQ with our highest-performing power amplifier, Edge W, to create a hi-fi system with a sound and a look unlike anything else.
Powerfully Subtle
For all its power, Edge W is remarkably detailed. The sound is finely balanced, with a musical depth and clarity that comes through with every note. It’s all down to how we chose the componentry inside—nothing was picked on price, specs, or measured performance. We listened carefully and created our system with components that simply sounded the best. The end result is a power amplifier that truly brings an original recording to life like no other.
