Details

Controls: BR-4 remote; webUI (smartphone/tablet/computer)

I/O: 4 analog inputs (2 RCA, 2 XLR; optional MM phono replaces 1 RCA pair); 2 balanced outputs; up to 10 digital inputs with optional HDMI module (2x AES/EBU, Toslink, S/PDIF RCA, USB)

Notable use: Preamp/DAC hub with network control for whole-system integration

Notes: SCOPE FLAG: includes DSD/PCM DAC and network/webUI control, leaning toward a hi-fi control-preamp product, but core function (preamp) is in-scope per task - included, judgment call flagged. Price is $6795 without HDMI board, $7500 with; original 2021-era MSRP was $5995 before a supply-chain price increase per press coverage. THD+N at or below 0.0006%.
