"What really matters is its sound quality, and here it shines. Although tonally clean, it never comes across as clinical and is superb in the time domain. Every speaker I tried with it sang beautifully and presented no problems for the amp in terms of driving them. It's a one-stop amplification shop, then. So if you're in the market for a serious integrated, you'd be foolish to overlook this. The 200iX is a strong statement of Perreaux's intent."
"The 200iX from New Zealand brand Perreaux is a properly integrated amplifier with onboard phonostage, DAC and headphone amplifier. Sound quality is commensurate with the unit’s asking price but the feature set is beyond what I would expect at this price. Sonically it is an easy to get on with amplifier without anything to pull out as being negative at the price. As such it offers a very attractive package all around."
"The Perreaux 200iX is such a desirable amplifier on so many levels. It has more than sufficient power on tap to drive any loudspeakers, with plenty to spare. It’s clean, distortionless sound too, with absolutely silent backgrounds. In short, it’s a beautiful-sounding amplifier. But it’s also an amplifier you can tailor to perfectly suit your requirements, by using the myriad control options built into it to allow you to perfectly match the 200iX to your various sources."

"The Perreaux Audio 200iX provides just about all you’ll need in an integrated amplifier. The on-board DAC is a quality unit featuring a top-level conversion chip as often found in mega-dollar standalone converters. The Bluetooth streaming function worked flawlessly, as did the app. Overall, the 200iX packs a solid connectivity punch."

The 200iX features our legendary SXH2 Class A headphone amplifier for personal headphone listening. Capable of effortlessly powering headphones from 8 - 600 Ohms. The SXH2 incorporates an efficient power saving function and high / low power mode option.
The 200iX provides CD quality, Bluetooth audio streaming direct from any Bluetooth-equipped PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet.
Stream high-resolution digital audio directly from your computer via the optional, integrated, up-sampling, ES SABRE Reference 9038 PRO 24-bit/384kHz asynchronous USB DAC. The 9038 features a USB input, 2 x Optical (Toslink) Digital Inputs, 2 x Coaxial (SPDIF) Digital Inputs for the connection of Digital Set Top Boxes, TV, CD Players, Music Streamers or Games Consoles and an AES EBU (XLR) Digital Input for the connection of professional digital audio sources.
With its internal high-powered MOSFET class AB power amplifier and toroidal power supply, the 200iX is capable of continuously delivering 200 Watts of power into an 8Ω load and an impressive 300 Watts into 4Ω.
The 200iX features an integrated PERREAUX Moving Magnet (MM) / Moving Coil (MC) phono preamplifier module with Earth Binding Post. This microprocessor-controlled module provides simple connection and input gain control for both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil turntables.
The 200iX’s extensive range of user-customisable functions and stepped analog volume controller are managed by a powerful onboard (electrically isolated) third-generation microprocessor. This provides flexible and functional user options for system configuration and control including stepped volume and balance control, custom operation and mute level setting and customised input naming.
For use with balanced analog audio sources and professional audio devices such as CD players, tape machines and mixing consoles enabling the 200iX to take full advantage of the benefits of balanced analog audio.
Integrate the 200iX into your Home Theatre system using the selectable home theatre input loop. This function allows the 200iX to receive signal and provide power to the main L/R speakers as a component of a surround sound system.
This handy function allows the 200iX to have standby control over, or be controlled by, compatible trigger input connected audio equipment such as the PERREAUX SM6 MkII preamplifier, 100p Stereo power amplifier, 350 Stereo power amplifier or 750 Monoblock power amplifier.
The 200iX can be remotely controlled by using the convenient and functional PERREAUX iOS / Android Bluetooth remote app - available free for download from Apple App store / Google Play store. The 200iX also features an included full-function, hand-held Infra Red Remote Control.
