The Tonewinner AD-1PRE+ is a sophisticated pre-amplifier and DAC designed for audiophiles seeking premium sound quality. It incorporates high-quality components, such as the ESS Technology ES9038 DAC chip and a CT7601PR USB interface, to provide a wide dynamic range with minimal distortion. The pre-amplifier supports high-resolution audio, decoding PCM streams up to 32bit/768kHz and DSD streams up to DSD512, making it suitable for high-end Hi-Fi systems.
Equipped with a combination of 9 operational amplifiers (AOPs), including OPA1612, OPA1632, and OPA1642 models, the AD-1PRE+ ensures low-noise, low-distortion audio performance. The inclusion of the MUSES72323 volume controller further enhances the clarity of the output.
Connectivity is a strong point of the AD-1PRE+, offering a variety of input options: four unbalanced RCA inputs (including MM and MC phono-compatible inputs), one balanced XLR input, two coaxial SPDIF inputs, two Toslink optical inputs, and one USB-B input. For output, it provides two RCA line outputs and one XLR balanced line output. The preamplifier also includes a trigger connector and remote control for enhanced convenience.
With the ability to support a range of audio formats (SACD, FLAC, ALAC, WAV, etc.), the AD-1PRE+ delivers versatility in connecting to various audio sources, from turntables to digital devices, ensuring it meets the needs of any audiophile setup.
