Setting up your preferred home audio systems can be hard because there are so many options. Choosing between an integrated amp or a preamp & power amp can be difficult. So, what’s the difference between a preamp & power amp combo and an integrated amp and does it matter?
A preamp is a device that boosts a signal enough for it be amplified by a power amplifier. It takes the audio signal from the device that plays music and strengthens it. An integrated amp has both a preamp and a power amp built into it. A separate preamp & power amp combo gives you better sound quality, but an integrated amp is cheaper and easier to use.
If you want to improve the sound quality of the devices that are part of your home audio systems, one of the first things you need to do is choose between a soundbar and a home theatre system. If you want compact, portable, simple and more affordable a soundbar is your answer. On the other hand, if you want the highest possible level of performance, nothing can compare to the combination of an audio/video receiver and multiple speakers.
Receivers are more versatile than soundbars since they include a wide range of HDMI inputs. You don’t have to spend a lot of money up front; you can start with only a few of stereo speakers and add components as you go.
Every component in the audio chain, from the source to disc players or turntables to power amplifiers to DACs to speakers, is vital. However, a better speaker system is one of the best upgrades you can make to your home audio NZ. We have a range of options that will improve your listening experience and suit your budget.
The best-sounding pair of stereo speakers when you listen to them at a dealership might not be the best-sounding pair when you get them home because stereo speakers react differently depending on their position in a room, on how close they are to each other, and on whether or not there are any walls in the room.
It’s always a good idea to measure your space before making a speaker purchase. When it comes to positioning, you shouldn’t be too casual about it because the speakers probably come with a manual that has the manufacturer’s recommendations for placement. However, there is nothing quite like exploring with a sharp ear, so trust your instincts and go with what seems right.
CD players, turntables, phono pre-amps, streamers or digital-to-analogue converters (DAC), including the world renowned Rossini and Vivaldi master clocks — we have the audio components and capabilities that will take your home audio system to the next level.
In terms of connecting a DVD player, TV, soundbar, video game console or any other audio device to your home theatre, HDMI, optical and coaxial cables are the most commonly used. At Distinction Audio you will find RCA, Subwoofer, Toslink, XLR, HDMI and speaker cables. Our range of cables will get you connected for optimal speed and performance.
If you want to improve the quality of the sound produced by electronic gadgets in your home, there is a wide variety of home theatre equipment available, but the choices might be daunting.
The appropriate home theatre systems NZ can breathe new life into your music and movies, as well as entirely transform the ambience of your living space.
The term “home audio system” refers to a wide range of audio equipment designed specifically for use in the home, including stereos, music centres, your tv and other audio devices. You may even opt for a multi-room audio system that will allow you to play music across your entire home.
We at Distinction Audio offer the perfect answer for your home music needs, regardless of whether your vision of a home music system consists of a turntable and speakers or a whole-house music system.
We’ll equip you with the perfect home audio solutions in no time.
Choosing the right home audio system depends on various factors, including room size, personal preferences, budget, and intended use. To find the perfect system for your needs, follow these steps:
Assess the size and layout of the room where you plan to install your home audio system. This will help you determine the number and type of speakers required for optimal sound coverage and quality.
Consider your listening habits and preferences. Do you mostly listen to music or watch movies? Are you a casual listener or an audiophile seeking a Hi-Fi experience? This will help guide you towards the right type of system and components.
Determine how much you’re willing to invest in home audio systems. This will help you narrow down your options and find a system that delivers the best value for your money.

A DAC, or Digital-to-Analogue Converter, plays a vital role in the overall performance of home theatre systems, NZ and beyond. Essentially, a DAC converts digital audio signals from your media sources, such as Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, or streaming devices, into analogue audio signals that your speakers can reproduce as sound.
In a home theatre setup, the quality of the DAC can significantly impact the audio experience. A high-quality DAC ensures that the audio is accurately converted, maintaining the original sound quality and providing a more immersive and engaging listening experience. On the other hand, a low-quality DAC might result in a less accurate conversion, leading to a loss of audio detail and a less enjoyable experience.
Many home theatre systems in NZ come equipped with built-in DACs within their AV receivers or amplifiers. However, for passionate listeners seeking the best possible audio performance, standalone DACs are also available. These external DACs can offer superior conversion capabilities and often include advanced features, such as high-resolution audio support or improved jitter reduction.
