The Bryston BR-20 preamp is designed in a fully balanced concept. Independent power supply of the analog and digital parts is implemented here. The digital subsystem includes a network streamer and a DAC, and the new product is ready to work with both network storage on a home network and popular streaming lossless services such as Tidal and Qobuz. The DAC unit can process PCM streams with parameters up to 24 bits /384 kHz, as well as DSD up to DSD256.
