Integra DHC-80.3 AV Preamp Controller
The DHC-80.3 is priced at a fraction of what most pre/pros costs and it incorporates everything a home theater owner will need to own a state-of-the-art system. The preamp controller sounds fantastic with formats like Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio HD, and sounds just as good with CDs. Through its networked audio and analog audio provisions, and room equalization and ISF calibration options, this product will do everything a home theater enthusiast will ever desire without emptying their wallet.
Oppo BDP-93
Oppo’s BDP-93 is a competitively priced Blu-ray player that incorporates the ability to play Blu-rays, SACDs, DVD-Audio and CDs, and offers streaming services like Netflix and Pandora. The 3D compatible player also incorporates Marvell’s Qdeo video processing technology, video upconversion, dual HDMI 1.4 outputs, vertical stretch processing, RS-232 for control and 7.1 channel analog outputs. This player offers great performance at a price point that’s hard to believe.
Parasound JC-3 Phono Preamp
The preamp offers a level of performance that’s just about untouchable at its price point. The robustly built JC-3 employs a dual-mono circuit design to remain true to the concept of the balanced output option and its signal-to-noise ratio is rated at 83dB with MM cartridges and 73dB with MC cartridges.
