Denafrips Athena 15th Preamp
ATHENA 15th High-End Preamplifier
Embark on an unparalleled audio journey with the Denafrips Athena Preamp, the pinnacle of sophistication and sonic prowess. The Athena features remarkably transparent, organically natural sound.
Technical Highlights
Inputs: The Athena comes with 4 switchable inputs (XLR1/XLR2/XLR3/RCA), and 1 volume controlled non-switchable input (XLR4). If you only have a single source, you may use XLR4 for purest sound quality.
Output: All outputs are active simultaneously, can easily drive bi-amplification (and a pair of subwoofers) from the preamp.
