Aavik U-588 - Streaming amplifier with extreme noise control and uncompromising sound quality

The Aavik U-588 is the top model in the Unity series. It brings together a streamer, DAC, preamplifier, and power amplifier in one solution and is built on technology from Aavik's 880 series reference products. Here, it's not just about high power, but about calm, control, and the ability to reproduce music with an almost physical presence.

The U-588 is created for systems where even the smallest details must stand out freely and naturally in the soundstage.

Highlights

• All-in-one amplifier with streamer, DAC, and power amplifier
• 2 x 300 watts into 8 ohms / 2 x 600 watts into 4 ohms
• Pascal Class D with UMAC modulation
• 108 active Tesla coils
• 216 active square Tesla coils
• 9 analog dither circuits
• 8 anti aerial resonance coils
• Designed by Flemming Erik Rasmussen and Michael Børresen

Power with calm and headroom

The U-588 uses the latest Pascal amplification and fast UMAC modulation. This reduces noise and provides better control over the speakers across the entire frequency range.

The music is reproduced with great energy and impressive headroom, but without the sound losing calm or balance. The dynamics feel free, and small details are easier to follow.

Streamer, DAC, and amplifier combined in one solution

DAC, streaming, and amplification work closely together in the same cabinet. This keeps the signal path short and helps preserve the music's coherence and timing.

At the same time, you avoid multiple separate components and get a simpler, more elegant setup.

Massive noise reduction throughout the entire circuit

The U-588 works with an extensive network of Tesla coils, square Tesla coils, and analog dither technology to keep electrical noise away from the signal.

This provides a darker background, more air between the instruments, and a soundstage with greater depth and focus.

More open and lively reproduction

The third generation of Aavik's analog dither technology helps lower the noise floor and strengthen the coherence of the signal. The music gains more space, and even small nuances in the recording become clearer.

Transients are reproduced quickly and naturally, bringing more energy and life to the music.

Protection against RF noise

Anti aerial resonance coils help protect the signal from airborne RF noise from the surroundings. This keeps playback cleaner and more stable, especially in modern homes with many wireless signals.

The result is a calmer and more undisturbed listening experience.

Design with a focus on both sound and aesthetics

The U-588 was developed by Flemming Erik Rasmussen and Michael Børresen. The cabinet uses resonance control, stable materials, and low inductance to create the best possible working conditions for the electronics.

The elegant design and solid construction also make the U-588 a natural centerpiece in any high-end listening room.
