If you want to achieve the highest possible resolution for computer audio, streaming audio devices, or even your CD player, the Grand Pre will take those devices to a reference level of audio reproduction. When faced with the extremes of bad power supplies, grounding issues and high jitter, most preamps and DACs fail to deliver maximum performance. The Grand Pre, on the other hand, was developed with these unique problems in mind.

The Grand Pre’s aluminum faceplate is over ½ inch thick with engraved input names that won’t rub off.

Useful Tip – Press and hold the currently active input button to dim all of the LEDs on the Grand Pre’s faceplate for late night listening.
