The new high-performance all-in-one CS 30.3 CD receiver based on the AVM X-STREAM Engine® is based on the tradition and accumulated experience since the 1990s of developing compact all-in-one devices with no compromises in terms of sound developed. Numerous innovations have been incorporated into this 30.3 masterpiece - the new RC X app also controls the CS 30.3 completely. Device towers and overflowing cable clutter are no longer necessary, all modern connections are available so that a TV can also be connected via HDMI ARC. With the goal of building one of the best streaming amplifiers in the world, AVM has miniaturized proven sound technologies from the AVM flagship CS 8.3 and designed them into an elegant, screwless precision housing.

AVM places an important focus on completely modernized control via the RC X App. The newly developed RC X app clearly contains all important functions. Simple, intuitive operation and a clear and elegant user interface make managing even large music collections child's play. This makes you want to go on journeys of discovery for new music on numerous streaming platforms such as TIDAL, Qobuz or HighResAudio. The AVM RC X App is available for iOS (Apple) or Android. In addition, basic functions can also be controlled via the included RC 3 all-aluminum remote control.

The new high-performance all-in-one CS 30.3 CD based on the AVM X-STREAM Engine® is part of the tradition and concentrated AVM experience since the 1990s of developing compact all-in-one devices without making compromises in terms of sound -Receivers emerged. Numerous innovations have been incorporated into this 30.3 masterpiece - the new RC X app also controls the CS 30.3 completely. Device towers and overflowing cable clutter are no longer necessary, all modern connections are available so that a TV can also be connected via HDMI ARC. In order to achieve our goal of constructing one of the best-sounding speakers on the world market with this compact all-in-one, AVM has miniaturized proven sound technologies from our flagship CS 8.3 and designed them into an elegant, screwless precision housing.

The new AVM X-STREAM Engine® can stream all high-resolution formats, including DSD (256). This advanced streaming engine is a complete AVM in-house development and is completely software-based. This means that it can be updated online in a future-proof manner. An HDMI (ARC) interface is also on board, as is a modern Bluetooth connection. Additional digital inputs and a USB-A interface are standard. Particular attention was paid to the high-performance phono input stage for MM and MC. This high-precision input stage was completely redesigned for the CS 30.3. This ensures even better sound, especially in combination with the perfectly matched AVM ROTATION turntables. Also completely new are the digital outputs, whose volume can also be regulated. TV sets can be easily connected and conveniently controlled via the HDMI ARC input.

The CS 30.3 has also made a big leap in terms of sound. This sonic progress is based on the use of a 125 W amplifier stage, which also effortlessly drives power-hungry loudspeakers at all volume levels. The new amplifier stages are based on the large CS 8.3 flagship and have been optimized for use in the CS 30.3 housing.

The digital section of the CS 30.3 was completely redesigned as part of the new development, because this crucial part of the CS 30.3 is also based on decades of AVM experience. A selected ESS converter of the new generation (9038 Q 2 M) is used as the digital/analogue converter: in terms of sound, this is also a clear gain, which benefits all digital sound sources and reproduces high-resolution formats perfectly and faithfully.
