Parasound NC 200PRE Preamplifier

Drop the NC 200PRE into your system and everything snaps into place. Voices step forward, bass integrates cleanly with your sub, and late‑night or loud‑and‑proud sessions feel relaxed and musical. It’s the compact, budget‑smart preamp that makes records, streams, TV, and movies sound more like the real thing.

Designed as a true 2‑channel control center, the NC200 (NewClassic 200 Pre) adds what most systems miss: a Burr-Brown 192kHz-24 bit DAC; optical/coax digital audio inputs, MM/MC phono, and analog‑domain bass management with a variable 20–140 Hz high‑pass to the mains plus two sub outputs you can toggle and trim from the remote.
