Parasound NewClassic 200 Integrated Amplifier & DAC

The Parasound New Classic 200 Pre and Integrated represent a new generation of affordable high-performance audio products from Parasound. At the heart of the 200 is an all analog signal path which includes analog bass management with high and low pass outputs. The 200 has connections for just about any source including an MM/MC phono input, home theater bypass, USB, Coax, optical as well as a front panel Aux input with an automatic 12dB gain bump. The built in DAC features a Burr-Brown IC and the circuitry is pulled directly out of the award-winning Halo P 5. Convenience and Ci features include a turn-on volume preset, a favorite volume setting, 2-way RS232 serial port, rear panel IR input and a 12V output trigger. The front panel LCD display allows the input names to be changed and provides for easy control. The backlit remote provides adjustment of the bass, treble, subwoofer trim, subwoofer on/off and balance.
