Signature PRE offers an XLR input, a set of 5 RCA inputs, as well as a dedicated MM Phono input. As for the outputs, the Mark II version is equipped with a pair of XLR outputs and one RCA output. It is a versatile choice for a wide range of Hi-Fi systems that are easy to control with our classic YBA remote control.
The Passion PRE550A has several distinguishing features from other digital/analog preamps. When playing from an analog source, you can turn off the digital section. The analog section has three inputs - one balanced (XLR), one unbalanced (RCA) and a pass-through video connector (RCA). There are two pairs of RCA outputs and one pair of XLR outputs.
The PRE5 preamp uses the most advanced Bluetooth standards that support the aptX audio transmission protocol. Bluetooth is not all that the PRE5 has to offer, the preamp allows you to use up to 8 different signal source connection options. The PRE 5 is also equipped with a high-end built-in DAC, which allows you to decode the signal via: AES/EBU, Optical, Coaxial, BNC, USB and Bluetooth.
Signature PRE-Amplifier MKII offers both a XLR input, and 5 line RCA inputs (+1 MM Phono input is also on board, and 3 digital inputs for Analog Devices AD1955 DAC with a support of PCM up to 24 bit / 192 kHz and DSD64).
