The Quad Elite Series applies Quad’s culmination of knowledge of solid state and software-based electronics to create a truly high-performance and high-value product line.

Quad Elite Series

The Quad Elite Series was developed by building upon the strongest design features of its 99 Series predecessors, but with the utmost care and testing taken in selecting only the best internal audiophile-class components, highly specified transformers, multi-layer circuit boards and the latest, most advanced software available.  In doing so, Quad has retained their classic house sound in the Elite Series, but has increased clarity and definition, thereby ensuring that the quality of the musical performance is more accessible and that it conveys the actual message of the artist.

Intended as a synergistic, fully integrated system, each Elite Series model is designed to perform its best when paired with other Elite Series products, but you will find that the Elite Series disc players, amplifiers, and preamplifier provide gorgeous, rich, detailed music with nearly any high-end product on the market today.

The Quad Elite Series pieces are encased with sleek, modern aluminum casework, finished in deep grey with a matte black front panel which maintains Quad's bold but stylishly elegant aesthetic.  They exude the quality of build, design, and performance that is synonymous with the name Quad.
