Description
NewClassic 200 Pre Preamplifier & DAC
Overview:-
The NewClassic 200 Pre is the latest addition to Parasound’s new range of affordable, high performance products. The heart of the 200 Pre is a versatile analogue signal path which includes analogue bass management with high-pass and low-pass outputs. The 200 Pre also uses the same Burr-Brown 192kHz-24 bit DAC found in the Halo P5 to enable USB, and optical and coaxial digital audio inputs.
The Parasound 200 Pre has a phono input (MM/MC), two line inputs, theatre bypass for L, R and two subs, digital USB, coaxial and optical inputs and a front panel auxiliary line level input with 12dB of gain for portable devices. The bass management circuit includes a variable 20–140Hz high-pass crossover, an 80Hz low-pass subwoofer output and a full range subwoofer output. Subwoofer switching and level is able to be managed via remote control. The NewClassic 200 Pre has both default and programmed turn-on volume levels, plus input level matching. It also comes with a dedicated headphone amplifier.
