The Universal Remote Control (URC) HDA-130 Single Zone Amplifier enters the home audio market as a compact yet robust solution for high-quality audio distribution. This amplifier is designed to cater to the needs of users seeking an efficient and customizable audio experience in their home or commercial spaces. With its high-resolution audio streaming and expandable zone capabilities, the HDA-130 positions itself as a versatile component in any audio setup.

II. Design and Build Quality

Measuring just under 5 inches in width and weighing a mere 0.75 lbs, the URC HDA-130 boasts a sleek and unobtrusive design that can easily integrate into existing AV racks without occupying much space. The build quality reflects URC's commitment to durability, with a solid construction that should withstand the rigors of both residential and commercial use. Its rack-mountable design is a nod to professional installations and its small footprint is advantageous for spaces with limited room.

III. Power and Performance

The URC HDA-130 delivers 30 Watts per channel at 8 Ohms, and it is stable down to 4 Ohms, ensuring a reliable performance across various speaker loads. This efficient amplification, capable of upscaling to 1200 watts per channel at 70 volts, is impressive for its size and can adequately power a single zone in a multi-room audio setup. The audio quality is noteworthy, with support for 96 kHz / 24-bit high-resolution audio streams, making it ideal for audiophiles who demand clarity and depth in their sound.

IV. Connectivity and Network Features

With Ethernet RJ45 connectivity, the amplifier caters to gigabit LAN environments, promising fast and stable network performance. PoE++ support is a significant addition, allowing for simplified cabling and installation.

The inclusion of full DSP and parametric EQ offers users precise control over the audio output, allowing for fine-tuning to match room acoustics or personal preferences. The ability to store and playback up to 10 .WAV files per device adds a layer of customization that can enhance user experience, especially in settings where specific audio cues or announcements are necessary.

VI. Installation and Usability

The HDA-130's installation is straightforward for those familiar with URC’s Total Control system, though it does require professional programming to unlock its full potential. This could be a hurdle for DIY enthusiasts but ensures a seamless integration and operation for users who opt for professional installation.

VII. Expandability and Versatility

This amplifier is expandable up to 32 zones, making it an excellent choice for large-scale audio distribution. The flexibility in configuring up to 8 stereo or 16 mono channel outputs, along with mic mixing and ducking capabilities, provides versatility for various audio scenarios, from residential multi-room audio to commercial paging systems.

VIII. Input Options and Limitations

The HDA-130 offers one analog and one digital input, which may limit connectivity options for users with multiple audio sources. While sufficient for simple setups, this limitation could be a detractor for users requiring greater input versatility.

IX. Warranty and Support

URC provides a 2-year limited manufacturer warranty for the HDA-130, reassuring users of the company's confidence in their product's reliability. Customer support and resources are available, though the extent and responsiveness of this support are crucial for a product that necessitates professional programming.

XI. Comparative Analysis

When compared to similar products in the market, the URC HDA-130 holds its ground with high-resolution audio and expandability features.
