Based on the B.dac one, the B.dpr one is equipped with an additional analog pre-amplification stage. Aiming at reproducing music as faithfully as possible with all its presence, naturalness and dynamics, the B.dpr one incorporates the main technological innovations introduced in the reference series. Like reference converters, the B.dpr one incorporates patented SJR “Source Jitter Removal” technology for optimal conversion quality, regardless of the source. The preamplifier section features a 100% balanced analog volume control stage. It is built using discrete resistor networks switched by relays, preserving the signal integrity. Just like all B.audio electronics, the B.dpr one is elegantly and sleekly designed, with no visible screws. The CNC machined aluminium front panel features a rotary knob mounted on high quality ball bearings. Each B.dpr one comes with a custom-made remote control made of massive aluminium. The B.dpr one features two unbalanced inputs (RCA) and one balanced input (XLR). Thanks to the analog volume control stage, the signals coming from these inputs are processed completely in the analog domain.
The founding team is composed of two brothers, both engineers, Cédric and Sébastien, supported by their father Gérard who transmitted to them his passion for music and technology.Cédric is an expert in electronics and signal processing, with a wide experience in the design of precision measuring equipment for electrical networks.Sébastien has worked on numerous Research and Development projects, notably at Mercedes-Benz, and has specific expertise in the area of tuning and testing.B.audio is located in east of France, in the heart of the Alsatian vineyards.
