Mark Levinson No. 526

Mark Levinson No. 526 - The ultimate preamplifier

The Mark Levinson No526 is the brand's top model in preamplifiers. The No526 is filled to the brim with impressive technologies such as the Pure Path design of the electronics, and the completely unique R-2R step volume control which ensures details and full dynamics even at low volume. It has a built-in High end Class A headphone output as well as a nice MM/MC RIAA.

The preamplifier is, of course, fully balanced in the usual ML style, and all electronics are extremely nicely put together without redundant cables and with ultra short signal paths. As something very special, it also has a high-end high-resolution D/A converter built in, so you can use digital sources, such as Streamers, TV and still get ultra high sound quality.
