All digital inputs are upsampled to 24bit\/192kHz. This D\/A converter will upgrade any digital source - such as wired or wireless streaming from your computer or CD drive - to a high end level of detail and musical performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatility and Connectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe had our eye on versatility and connectivity when designing this preamplifier. The PRD-3 offers not only a wide range of digital and analogue inputs, but also line outputs, a trigger signal for external power amplifiers, and a configurable home theater input. The HT input can turn the preamplifier into a fixed level preamplifier for use in a surround setup, without compromising the sonic performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt in 24bit\/192kHz D\/A converter with upsampling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoax, optical and asynchronous USB digital input up to 24bit\/192kHz, optical up to 24bit\/96kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eaptX Bluetooth 4.0 receiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccepts digital streaming directly from Apple iPad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo unbalanced and one balanced inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne unbalanced and two balanced outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNonmagnetic enclosure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect function; enables use in home theater sytems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 Hz-100 kHz - 0.5 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal to noise ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt; 110 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLine out maximum level\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13V balanced, 6,5V unbalanced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt; 0,001% pre out\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 k RCA or 40 k Balanced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLine output impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage gain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBalanced analogue inputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 pair gold plated XLR Neutrik\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnbalanced analogue inputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 pairs of gold plated RCA Stereo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDigital inputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 pc USB type B, 1 pc Toslink, 1 pc RCA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBalanced analogue outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 pair gold plated XLR Neutrik\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnbalanced analogue outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 pair of gold plated RCA Stereo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeaker output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 pairs of gold plated safety banana\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTrigger, 12 V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 pc mini jack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115 VAC\/230 VAC, 50 Hz\/60 Hz, 1000W max\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower consumption stdb\/idle\/max\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt; 1W\/14W\/30W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (WxHxD)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e325 x 105 x 420 mm \/ 12.8 x 4.1 x 16.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 kg \/ 15.4 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Gato Audio","offers":[{"title":"Black High Gloss","offer_id":52740077682954,"sku":"GATOAUDIO-4259","price":2495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut High Gloss","offer_id":52740077715722,"sku":"GATOAUDIO-4260","price":2495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White High Gloss","offer_id":52740077748490,"sku":"GATOAUDIO-4261","price":2495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/gato-audio-prd-3s-npm-preamplifier-dac-17420-p.jpg?v=1773934185","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/gato-audio-prd-3s-npm-preamplifier-dac","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
