Halo P6 2.1 Channel Preamplifier & DAC

Designed for Serious Two-Channel Music Listening

Parasound does it again, surpassing all expectations with its brand new Parasound P 6. This advanced 2.1 channel preamplifier has been designed for the highest performance for serious two channel music listening and ease of integration with a surround sound system. Based on the high performance preamplifier section of the brand new Halo HINT 6 integrated amplifier, the P 6 offers a plethora of added features compared to its predecessor, the Halo P 5, along with improved sound and exceptional ease-of-use.

Ready for today’s hi-res digital music files and excelling with vinyl playback, too, the P 6 packs an advanced ESS Sabre32 Reference DAC to decode a wide range of digital music files via its digital inputs. It also includes a very high quality built-in MM/MC phono stage with three-position load/cartridge selector switch as well as a high-current headphone stage built around the top grade Texas Instruments TPA6120A headphone amplifier chipset.

The new feature set includes a Burr-Brown volume control with easy-to-read front panel display. It also adds an upgraded USB receiver with plug-and-play functionality for Windows and Mac, a second optical input, increased phono gain, greater channel separation, and some pleasing refinements to its appearance compared to the P 5 and original model Halo Integrated. Among the other new features are a Favorite volume memory with remote control button, increased phono stage gain for lower output cartridges, improved channel separation and balance tracking, a ball-bearing supported solid aluminum volume knob, and a programable default turn on volume setting.
