I have bought the last few Micromega IA-400 integrated amps from the US importer. The $3595.00 IA-400 is a very high quality 200 watts/ch integrated amp with 400 watts/ch into 4 ohms. It is very full featured with, Remote Control, a nice MM phono stage, 5 analog inputs, full tape loop, processor input, low noise preamplifier, preamp/subwoofer output, dual mono amp design with 1000VA transformers, a resistor ladder volume control and nice headphone amplifier. All input switching is done by relays. I have both black and silver.
These amps come with the 3 year factory warranty
The IA-400 is the same as the $5000.00 AS-400 without the DAC or Airplay. The AS-400 is Stereophile Class B rated with great sonic reviews. At only $1399.00, at $2200.00 off its $3595.00 retail, the IA-400 is a killer deal.
It got excellent reviews also in The Absolute Sound & Stereophile at its $3595.00 original price.
The Absolute Sound review of the AS-400 (the same as the IA400 without the DAC) said:
"Bass control was excellent, something I’ve come to expect from Class D power—the rolling thunder of tympani during Copland’s Fanfare being a prime example, the steady kick of the bass drum during Steve Winwood’s “Higher Love” being another. The Wilson Sophia 3, on the other hand, is a speaker that demands an awful lot from an amplifier. In most instances the Micromega was a model of unflappable consistency and the Sophia sounded fabulous."
"With compact disc, right out of the block the AS-400 had a powerful sense of midrange presence and stability, lively dynamics, and a pleasingly propulsive energy. For me, these attributes created a resolution of vocal nuances that instantly made this amp a top contender in its segment."
"Tonally, the AS-400 was neutral through most octaves with only a slight darkening on top and small losses of air at the frequency extremes. Piano harmonics were rich and full-bodied with a sweetness in the treble that I didn’t typically hear with earlier switching amplifiers. There was a reassuring sense of resonance and harmonic weight throughout."

Info from the Micromega website is:
Micromega, with over 20 years of experience in amplifier development, is proud to announce IA-400, a very powerful integrated amplifier capable of driving almost all types of speakers, even the most demanding ones. Despite the fact that the unit is integrated, we can consider it as two different units in the same box: the preamplifier section and the power amplifier.
The preamplifier is a very low noise state of the art gain section with extremely low noise power supplies and sophisticated layout to avoid any ground loop. A specific r-core transformer is dedicated to all low levels signals, avoiding cross coupling between the two sections and preventing any disturbance from the mains line to
enter the product. Ultra low noise regulators are feeding the preamplifier section to allow very accurate low level resolution. Input switching is done by relays and the input impedance of 100kΩ guarantees that the preamplifier section will not load the different sources connected to it. Volume control is achieved by a digitally controlled resistor ladder with extremely low distortion. The output of the preamplifier section is
buffered by j-fet amplifiers and then balanced to avoid ground coupling between the
preamplifier section and the power amplifier modules.
The power amplifier section has its own 1kVA toroidal “quiet design” power transformer, followed by ultra fast soft recovery rectifiers and 4x 10000μF smoothing capacitors in a dual mono configuration. These modules are class D modules with no less that 400W/4Ω output power capacity (200wpc @ 8 ohms). The choice of class D has been dictated by our quest for reliability, size and sonic quality, together with high efficiency
and low temperature operation. The modules are protected for under voltage, overvoltage and short circuit. A DC detection circuit prevents any damage to the loudspeakers in caseof a dramatic failure occurring to the power modules.
In addition, IA-400 provides a great number of features, some being unique to this kind of amplifiers. A blue VFD display, with 7mm high characters, readable for up to 10m, gives at all time, a clear status of the unit, indicating channel selection and playing level. A balance setup is available and has an indication on the front display.
A very high quality MM phono section will please all vinyl record lovers. A sub out, associated with a pass through sub in, allows for different setup when using the IA-400 in a 2.1 system or when using the IA-400 as front amplifier in a multi channel setup. All inputs can be named from a library list stored in the memory of the unit.
Unused inputs can be switched off to optimize access time. A headphone amplifier is available with a front output and its separate volume control setup is stored in the product. A true monitor loop is accessible for users willing to insert an external unit in the signal path.
The case work with its sandblasting finish, available in two colors silver or black, is superb and the build quality is to the highest standards.
