About
Ooberpad presents the dynamic Parasound Halo P 6 2.1 Channel Preamplifier & DAC. This advanced 2.1 channel preamplifier has been meticulously designed for the best in class performance for serious two-channel music listening and ease of integration with a surround sound system. Based on the high-performance preamplifier section of the brand new Halo HINT 6 integrated amplifier, the P 6 offers a wide array of extensive features as compared to its predecessor, the Halo P 5, along with improved sound and an unrivalled ease-of-use.
Geared up for today's hi-res digital music files and excelling with vinyl playback, too, the P 6 packs an advanced ESS Sabre32 Reference DAC to decode a wide range of digital music files via its digital inputs. It also includes a top-of-the-line quality built-in MM/MC phono stage with three-position load/cartridge selector switch as well as a high-current headphone stage built around the top grade Texas Instruments TPA6120A headphone amplifier chipset.
The breakthrough feature pack comprises of Burr-Brown volume control with easy-to-read front panel display. It also adds an upgraded USB receiver with plug-and-play operationality for Windows and Mac, a second optical input, increased phono gain, greater channel separation, and some highly appealing refinements to its appearance as opposed to the P 5 and original model Halo Integrated. Among the other new features is a Favorite volume memory with the remote control button, increased phono stage gain for lower output cartridges, enhanced channel separation and balance tracking, a ball-bearing supported solid aluminium volume knob and a programable default turn on volume setting.
