Parasound introduced their new Halo P 6, 2.1-channel DAC/Preamplifier to replace the five-year-old P 5, improving upon its predecessor with a premium ESS DAC, ladder-style volume control, many internal audio refinements, and subtle new gold highlights.
Like the P 5, the new Parasound Halo P 6 provides ultimate control over multiple audio source components ranging from turntables to the latest high-resolution digital music sources. A 2.1-channel crossover allows a perfect interface with both stereo and subwoofer/satellite speaker systems.
For the new Halo P 6, Parasound has replaced the predecessor's venerable Burr-Brown DAC with a new ESS Sabre32 Reference DAC. It has an asynchronous USB input that supports PCM up to 384 kHz/32-bit (up from 96Khz/24-bit in the previous model), and decodes native DSD256 and DoP DSD. The coaxial and -now- two optical inputs accept PCM up to 192 kHz/24-bit. The upgraded USB receiver provides "plug and play" operation with Windows 10 as well as Mac OS.
The Parasound Halo P 6 features a new Burr Brown analog resistor ladder volume control and a dimmable, front-panel volume display to replace the P 5's motorized potentiometer. The new device includes a phono input for MM or MC cartridges with switchable 100 Ohm or 47kOhm loads. The phono stage gain has been increased for improved performance with lower output cartridges. Full-range outputs from the phono and five other line-level sources can be directed to balanced XLR or single-ended RCA outputs. Signals can also utilize Parasound's highly-evolved analog bass management system with adjustable high-pass and low-pass crossovers for 2.1-channel speaker/subwoofer systems using either RCA or XLR connections.
The Halo P 6 includes home-theater bypass inputs, front panel input for a portable player and a dedicated high-current headphone amplifier output.
