Tonewinner AD-1PRE+ Class AB Stereo Preamplifier Black

Tonewinner AD-1PRE+ Class AB Stereo Preamplifier Black The AD-1PRE+ is a high-end stereo decoder supporting CD, SACD, MP3, and WMA audio formats as well as USB-Audio, phono MM/MC, optical, and coaxial connections. The AD-1PRE+ adopts a multi-chamber layout, balanced circuits, and several high-class chips to enable Hi-Fi level processing such as DSD decoding. Key Features: • Balanced XLR & unbalanced RCA analogue audio inputs • Optical, coaxial and USB digital audio inputs • ESS9038 DAC supporting up to 768kHz/32bit PCM • DSD decoding up to 22.5MHz • MM/MC phono inputs for connecting turntables • Improved Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) >110dB • Aluminium alloy chassis • Decodes audio formats including DSD512, AIFF, ALAC, APE, DIFF, DSF, FLAC, OGG, WAV, AAC, MP3, WMA Balanced & Unbalanced Connections In addition to the unbalanced RCA analogue inputs and outputs, which are expected from a preamplifier at this level, the AD-1PRE+ comes equipped with high-quality balanced XLR inputs and outputs. Use these terminals for a superior connection to a power amplifier such as the matching Tonewinner AD-1PA+. A balanced connection has superior resistance to noise and interference ensuring a cleaner signal makes its way to your power amp. For connecting a turntable, the AD-1PRE+ includes both MM and MC phono inputs. providing connections for both cartridge types ensures that turntables at all levels are supported by the AD-1PRE+ processor. ES9038 DAC For high-end processing of digital signals via the optical, coaxial, and USB inputs, the AD-1PRE+ features the ESS9038 DAC, which enables the preamplifier to decode hi-resolution signals from digital sources. This high-end chip from ESS processes DSD signals up to 22.5MHz, and PCM signals up to 768kHz/32bit. The signal-to-noise ratio of the chip is as high as 129dB, and the distortion is as low as -120dB, ensuring that the analogue signal that is passed on to your power amplifier is as clear as possible.
