Onkyo have released a P3000R Reference digital pre-amplifier – please visit our forum at Hifix Blog
Despite being at the cutting edge of the burgeoning home cinema market, Onkyo has never forgotten its roots in pure hi-fi audio. With the Onkyo P-3000R preamplifier, Onkyo present a streamlined two-channel pre-amplifier that packs a treasure trove of stunning audio technology.
The Onkyo P 3000R preamplifier handles both analogue and digital sources, with connectivity options including AES/EBU digital connectors and a USB input for PC audio. Separate 192 kHz/32-bit Burr-Brown DACs for each channel ensure accurate digital-to-analogue conversion. Meanwhile, to minimize interference and maintain signal quality, the Onkyo P 3000R preamp employs noise-reducing DIDRC technology, a vibration-resistant chassis design, and independent amplifier circuitry.
Thanks to the Onkyo P3000R’s bi-amping capability, you also have greater flexibility in how you set up your system. As always, the job of all this advanced hardware is to bring you closer to your music and let you feel the unique resonance of each individual instrument.
