Parasound NewClassic 200 - Integrated Amplifier & DAC

Description

The NewClassic 200 is an integrated amplifier and DAC delivering 110 watts per channel via Class D amplification from Pascal, paired with a Burr-Brown 192kHz/24-bit DAC borrowed from the Halo P 5. It combines a pure analog signal path with digital and analog inputs, a built-in phono stage, and flexible bass management for a compact, do-it-all system.
