Hello everyone, the U.K. distributor has informed me that the IN200 Signature retails for £1,595 without the DAC. The DAC version is £1,795. Sorry for the error.

@@abritishaudiophile7314 It makes sense. It's a reasonable price for an AKM 4490 based board. It's the chip in the RME ADI2 FS V.1 (is everyone aware that the AKM factory burned to the ground six months ago? Stocks are dwindling!) Many people use external dacs, so why incur in additional expense (unless for the sake of convenience or integration). The "free" dacs in most integrateds tend to be fairly modest.

Hi Tarun, I really love your reviews. I bought the IN 200 yesterday. It sounds really great with my KEF LS 50 Meta. This morning I heard a hum, it was coming from the IN 200 (in stand-by mode). So I touched the cabinet at the ventilation perforation and felt that it was very warm. (measured 30°C in 23°C room temperature). Then I measured the energy consumption in standby mode. Result 20 watts!!! I turned on the IN 200 to measure the energy consumption. Result: 21 watts. The main switch is located on the back of the IN 200! Very functional. I have seen the standby consumption of other manufacturers such as Music Fidelity, Acram or Yamaha, something 0.5 watts. ATOLL writes in its user manual: NOTES: - For maximum fidelity, we recommend that you turn the amplifier on min. ½h before playing music. This is the time the power amplifiers to come up to working temperature. To avoid this warm up phase you can switch the amplifier to standby - so the power amplifiers keep the power amplifiers keep the working temperature. To follow this advice would cost me about 70€ for energy per year. The amplifier goes back to the dealer tomorrow. BTW, I am from German. Best Regards, Stefan

Hello Tarun, excellent review. I really hope that you’ll be able to test more Atoll products in the near future. I currently own and enjoying multiple Atoll products. From my trusty DAC100SE , DR100 CD transport to my recently acquired and excellent sounding ST200 signature DAC/streamer. The above items work extremely well with my Hegel H120 and Sugden ANV-50. Two additional tidbits to add to your review which might be useful to others. Often overlook but important to me is the physical size of Atoll products as compared to the competition. Even the higher end Atoll IN300 comes in at a reasonable 12.6 inched deep. I would love a H390 but it’s just too big for my average size living room setup. Another point, and from personal experience is Atoll’s customer support which I find to be very good. Always there when help, and respond quickly to email enquiries (good luck getting a quick response from Sugden 😉). That’s it, thanks again and stay safe. Brian.

I tried with some Kimber 8TC speaker cables & it was a little too bright, so I tried Chord Shawline X speaker cable that I had. This is a much better combination for my ear. Tones down some of that brightness & accentuates & tightens up the bass. Thanks for your review. You really turned me on to this amp. I got the IN200 with internal DAC.

A very interesting review which struck a chord with me. I recently upgraded my perfectly fine £1800 30 year old integrated British amp with a damping factor of 1400, for a 4 times the price preamp, monoblocks combination, with a damping factor of 2600. The bass was fast and tight, but, totally lacked heft! I listened to it for 3 months, hoping that the manufacturers recommended 200 hour burn in time would improve things. It didn’t! If I had to live with this rather lean sonic picture, I guess I would have learned to appreciate it’s openness, clarity and transparency, but I chose not to. I plumbed back in my 30 year old Vritish integrated and immediately appreciated the acoustic mass and musical density it bought back. I spoke with the dealer from whom I’d purchased the preamp monoblocks combo. He was extremely understanding and helpful and allowed me to swap out the preamp for another manufacturers preamp which he describes as being far more legato. He was right. The new combo now offers that acoustic mass, musical density and fluidity I appreciate, maybe at the loss of a little resolution, but that is a sacrifice I’m happy to make! That 30 year British integrated, is not connected, but still sits proudly in my rack, in readiness for active service should it be required.

I think a big one on each side will be beter. Small remark aside... When you talk about the quality of the DAC, maybe should mention that people will be more then happy with it for those looking for a build-in or external at this price point iso generalise it to 'most people'. I think the DAC is top notch and in balance (even at the top end) with the 'position'of the amp in the market. Great one Tarun..thumbs up!!!

Hi Tatun, I am currently Using the Atoll IN50 dedicatedly in the Bypass mode (as a Power-Amp), in my Listening chain (My Dedicated Streaming Device for Tidal Masters and ITunes, Mac Book pro) to (My Delta Sigma DAC, Soncoz LA-QXD1) to (As my Pre-Amp, Feliks Audio Echo) to (As my Power-Amp, Atoll IN50) to (My Bookshelf Speakers Xavian Mia 2). Was considering Upgrading the Power-Amp section with a dedicated Power Amp (Atoll AM100Sig). Last week, I got to know of a Friend who has decided to sell his Atoll IN200 SE, I am guessing (2014 Model) through the same person (Ex Distributor for Atoll), from whom I purchased the Atoll IN50. He has agreed to take back the IN50 and sell me the IN200 SE minus the price I paid for the previous. Went and brought home the amp today (I want to Audition the Amp, before I buy It). Will connect the amp tomorrow morning. Very excited and am looking forward to experiencing the upgrade in my Audio chain.

Atoll seems like a very good match for my speakers. Which are quite warm and bass heavy (for being bookshelfs), sometimes almost to a fault, but perhaps that has to do with limited positioning in my living room... I'm curious though. It seems Atoll has a power amplifier, the AM200 Signature, which basically feels like the same build and power but just the amp part of course (and it's a few hundred £ cheaper). Would that perhaps be a better choice if already owning a Network Streamer with variable outputs to run as a pre-amp? With less onboard circuitry, it should make for a cleaner approach, or at least that's a thought from my side. :) Thank you once again Tarun, for sharing, I also VERY much enjoy you looking into relativily obscure products.

If you wouldn't mind letting me know how you like the moon that would be great. I too, have been considering that on my short list. Im actually in Welland and the nearest moon dealer is bay Bloor radio which would be like a 2 hour drive for me. Hope your liking it. I love the thought of a 10 year warranty and being a Canadian product is a plus. I would go for a Bryson integrated but it's way out of my price range.

I totally agree with the review, that IN200 is a beast. I paired it with Atohm Sirocco 2 and now with Buchardt S400 and Arendal 1961 towers. The bass on all those speakers are excellent with the Atoll. I also agree that the imaging is really good, it's super easy to have a locked center image with this amp. For stage width it's great with the Buchardt and average with other speakers I'd say. But what I probably like the most is that I can listen at loud volume without any change in the sound, the trebles stay smooth and not aggressive and the bass are fast and thunderous, it's a real pleasure to listen to. Price is great and Atoll customer service is super easy to reach, just phone them and you'll have the guy who built it on the line👌

I have an Atoll IN-200 in both my setups, in the beginning the mids/highs we're a little forward (not harsh) and lean in the bass which resulted sometimes in listening fatigue with some tracks. After a few months I changed the interconnects from an AudioQuest Evergreen to a Golden Gate and the sound changed to a much fuller (richer) sound with a coherent bass without any fatigue! Sometimes even falling asleep with high volumes 😅( I don't comment on depth and imaging because this is also related to the source, speakers and their placement). I agree that this amp plays incredible well (dynamic) at very low volumes. I also use (sometimes)the balance control when I'm seated off axis and this works perfect with this amp. I can only recommend the Atoll brand and also their customer service is 10/10. Great review! 👌 PS My choice for AudioQuest was more a coincidence but I'm very happy with the result 🙂

Hi Tarun. Great to hear your review of the Atoll IN 200. You may remember I previously mentioned I was considering buying the Atoll and the Amphion Argon 3S both made in Europe.( I do not buy Chinese manufactured products so the Hegel was a non starter.) I have been running the Atoll (with DAC) for 3 weeks now partnered with Castle Howard S2 (20year + old) speakers. The Atoll has got mellower over time and seems to be continuing to do so. My speaker drivers are 115 cm from the front wall and 2m apart. The room is 6.9m long. The sound stage with the Atoll is wider than the speaker distance, deep, high and not forward of plane of drivers. Imaging is better than with my Krell KAV-400Xi but slightly narrower sound stage. DAC compares well with my Lindemann MusicBook20DSD although does not upsample. Still considering Amphion Argon 3S and Proac D2R speakers but after your review perhaps ATC SCM19 would be a better match. I continue to welcome your reviews. Daniel

You nailed it ! Great description of this local integrated ;) I started with the Atoll In30 and In100 and currently the In200 as one reference. I love Atoll signature sound, it's alive. For all the Atoll integrated, upgrade advice : Replace the power supply by Mundorf Mlytic AG capacitors, you gain weight, texture, sparkle in the bass. I call it the electric bass. You change the coupling caps by Elna silmic II RFS bypass by SCR SY 0.47µf film caps. You'll gain more clarity, density and finesse to the all spectrum. This amp is amazing and with small upgrades it becomes great ! 2 audionote kasei bipolar in the right place and :)

Instead of 35V go for 50V or 100V. Every electrolitic (Elna, Audio note) bypass by a film (SCR SY, jantzen superior z cap or Miflex kpcu-03). If you have the money go for all film caps for the coupling caps. It's worth it if you can do it yourself because it's almost 300 euro in component.

Atoll is a serious competitor to everything from the popular Japanese and British brands (NAD and Cambridge). The IN200 and their below 1000 euros lines, of INs, PRs, MAs and AMs, is of equal built quality, for their respective price. Minimalist features compared to the competition, but better components. I consider them as introductory to high end gear.

What a coincidence... yesterday i upgraded my Iotavx SA-3 & PA-3 stack for a used Atoll IN300. I loved the Iota amps, but they are overruled by the Atoll on all fronts. The soundstage of my Dynaudio Evoke 20's has doubled in width and reaches way beyond my speakers now. Toe in is nog longer necessary. Only after hooking up the Atoll I now understand what all this talk about depth in soundstage means as well. It suddenly is there, as I never heard that the singer was in front of the piano player before. Left to right was noticable with the Iota's, but depth.... nope. I believe that the Iota-stack is your best choice under € 2.000. The Atoll IN300 is another league. Only downside is that I have to listen to my complete vinyl collection again, as I now hear details for the very first time. Thanks for the review Tarun!

Great review Tarun, thanks again! The sound signature sounds very similar to other mosfet based apps I’ve owned/heard, which I have to say generally are not my cup of tea. Super fast, tight, but somewhat lean bass (lacking in low end weight). Lacking a bit in warmth through midbass and mids. Some upper midrange emphasis. Overall immediacy and dynamic prowess even at low listening volumes, etc. So far, I prefer the low end weight and warmth and smoothness of bipolar output transistors over mosfets in my limited experience. Would be interested if you’ve noticed similar things in other amps.

Thank you Rick. Great to hear about your experiences. You have summed up the Atoll amp very well. I was always led to believe that mosfets and jfets operated more like tubes than bipolars. The distortion profile would lead to more 2nd harmonic giving it a warmer, richer sound. I haven’t listened to enough of them to draw that conclusion so I wouldn’t bet on it being true. It would be interesting to find out in time 😊👍

I recently had the opportunity to buy the previous model the IN200se at an amazing price. the major difference visually is buttons to adjust volume and balance in lieu of a knob. I am sure there are other changes but I remain ignorant of those although they seem very similar. I liked the amp a lot. Dynamic,, slightly warm, detailed but just true to the music and natural sounding to me. I used the preamp section of the Atoll with a pair of Belles Aria mono block amps and I was stunned. The sound was outstanding. The preamp section of that amp is just a killer.. Just my experience but very interesting. Excellent construction on my unit but for the US selling price for a Signature model of about $2900, I"d want to hear the signature over my model before taking the leap.

Thank you Andre. I am planning to get a Yamaha amp in for review soon. Not sure which one, it depends on availability 😊👍

Or your advice on an intergrated around 3500/4500 cnd. I know pounds are different. I chose moon cause they offer 10 year warranty and give you the exact same money back up to a year if you choose to upgrade. & the company is in Montreal (Quebec) the next province over to the east. 4 hour Drive witch I go to often cause my older son lives there. 3400$ cnd. Thank you

Hi Tarun. Nice to hear your review of the Atoll IN 200. If possible, help to make a choice. I choose between the branded integrated stereo amplifiers Atoll in 200 and Rotel ra-1572 mk2. Your experience and opinion will be very helpful. Thanks.

Thanks for the video. Tossing up between this and a Rega Elicit mk5. Not going to be able to hear them so I'll see?
