It picks your source — a turntable, a streamer, a CD player — adjusts the volume, and sends the signal on to your power amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 does all of that, and much more. It is Bryston’s answer to the modern audiophile’s full front end. One box replaces four separate components: a preamplifier, a DAC (digital-to-analog converter), a network streamer, and a phono stage for vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name means something. BR-20 stands for Brian Russell — the longtime Bryston president who passed away in September 2020 at age 68. The preamp was nearly finished when he died. Bryston’s team completed it as a tribute. On their website, Bryston calls it their “most exquisite representation of musicality ever.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Analog Preamp Section\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preamp circuit inside the BR-20 is a clean-sheet design. Bryston built it from scratch using all-new, fully discrete amplifier circuits — meaning no off-the-shelf chips in the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Bryston, the BR-20 produces the lowest noise and distortion they have ever measured in their 40-plus year history. The signal path is fully balanced from input to output. Balanced means the circuit carries two versions of the signal — one normal, one inverted — which cancels out interference picked up along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume control is fully analog and balanced. It uses tightly matched resistors and moves in precise 0.5dB steps. A ring of small LEDs around the volume knob shows the output level from across the room. All input switching uses physical relays — no electronic switches in the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe DAC\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20’s DAC (digital-to-analog converter) uses the same circuit design as Bryston’s standalone BDA-3 — a unit that sold for nearly $3,800 on its own. It handles PCM audio up to 32-bit\/384kHz and DSD up to DSD256 via USB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA re-clocking circuit inside the DAC removes jitter. Jitter is a timing error in digital audio — it causes small inconsistencies in playback that can blur the sound. The re-clocking circuit corrects those errors in real time. Independent measurements by HomeTheaterHifi.com confirmed it works as Bryston claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigital inputs include AES\/EBU (XLR), coaxial S\/PDIF, optical TosLink, and USB-B. Maximum resolution depends on the input used — see the spec table below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Streamer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 has a built-in music streamer. It is based on a Raspberry Pi 4 — a fast, modern platform that loads large music libraries quickly. The BR-20 is certified \u003cstrong\u003eRoon Ready\u003c\/strong\u003e and also supports Tidal, Qobuz, and AirPlay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour USB-A ports on the rear accept drives loaded with local music files. The BR-20 does not include Wi-Fi. Bryston recommends a wired Ethernet connection and advises against Wi-Fi dongles, which they say introduce noise into the preamp’s circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe MM Phono Stage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version includes Bryston’s moving-magnet (MM) phono stage, installed at the factory. A phono stage amplifies the very small signal from a turntable cartridge up to line level. Bryston says this internal stage matches their standalone BP2-MM phono preamplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the phono stage is installed, it uses one of the RCA inputs. You still have two balanced XLR inputs and one RCA input available for other sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Headphone Amplifier\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front-panel headphone output uses a dedicated low-impedance circuit — updated from previous Bryston preamps with more power and lower output impedance. Lower output impedance means better control over a wider range of headphones. The output uses a standard 6.35mm (¼-inch) jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery BR-20 is built by hand in Ontario, Canada. The analog circuitry carries Bryston’s 20-year parts-and-labor warranty. The digital components — DAC and streamer — carry a 5-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Are Reviewers Saying?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-blockquote\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGordon Brockhouse, SoundStage!

It is certified \u003cstrong\u003eRoon Ready\u003c\/strong\u003e and also supports Tidal, Qobuz, and AirPlay. Four USB-A ports accept drives loaded with local files.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 does not include Wi-Fi. Bryston recommends a wired Ethernet connection. They warn that Wi-Fi dongles introduce RF noise into the preamp’s circuitry, which would undermine the BR-20’s very low noise floor. Plan for a network cable to your listening room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMM Phono Stage — Included on This Model\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version includes Bryston’s optional moving-magnet (MM) phono stage, installed at the factory. Bryston says it matches their standalone BP2-MM phono preamplifier. When installed, it uses the first RCA analog input. You still have two balanced XLR inputs and one additional RCA input for other sources. Moving-coil (MC) cartridges require an external step-up transformer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeadphone Amplifier — Low Impedance, High Power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front-panel headphone output is a dedicated circuit — updated in the BR-20 with more power and lower output impedance than previous Bryston preamps. Lower output impedance means better control over a wide range of headphones, including demanding planar magnetic designs. Output uses a standard 6.35mm (¼-inch) jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 supports up to 15 sources. Analog inputs include two balanced XLR pairs and one unbalanced RCA (the second RCA is used by the MM phono stage on this model). Digital inputs include two AES\/EBU (XLR), two coaxial S\/PDIF, two optical TosLink, and one USB-B audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutputs include two sets of balanced XLR — one variable, one configurable as fixed — plus the front-panel headphone jack. An optional HDMI card (four inputs, one output) is available separately and supports 4K HDR passthrough. Control options include a 12V trigger, RS-232, Ethernet, and the included BR-4 remote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild \u0026amp; Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 is built in Dwight, Ontario, Canada. The chassis is aluminum with a thick, anodized silver front panel and a lightly textured finish. This SKU is the 19” faceplate version, sized to fit standard equipment racks. Source buttons have a crisp, click-relay feel. Weight is 12 pounds — lighter than reviewers expected for a Bryston product, and easy to place in a rack or furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick-Reference Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;

You’ll need a separate power amplifier (such as a Bryston 3B³ or 4B³) and a pair of speakers. For streaming, you’ll also need a wired Ethernet connection — the BR-20 doesn’t support Wi-Fi. For vinyl, this version already includes the MM phono stage, so you can plug in a moving-magnet turntable directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the BR-20 compatible with my turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version includes a moving-magnet (MM) phono stage, so it works with any turntable that uses an MM cartridge — the most common type. Moving-coil (MC) cartridges need a step-up transformer or separate MC phono stage before connecting to the BR-20. Not sure what cartridge type you have? Call us at \u003ca href=\"tel:+18009420220\"\u003e800-942-0220\u003c\/a\u003e and we’ll help you sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the BR-20 support Wi-Fi?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The BR-20 requires a wired Ethernet connection for streaming. Bryston strongly advises against using a Wi-Fi dongle — they found it introduces RF noise into the preamp’s circuitry, which works against the BR-20’s very low noise floor. If running a cable to your listening room isn’t easy, a Powerline Ethernet adapter is a common workaround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the BR-20 Roon Ready?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The BR-20 is fully Roon Ready certified. It integrates directly with the Roon platform without extra setup. Many BR-20 owners use Roon as their primary playback interface rather than the built-in Manic Moose web UI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat streaming services does the BR-20 support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 supports Tidal and Qobuz natively through its built-in streamer. It also supports AirPlay via Shairport Sync, which lets you stream from Apple devices. Roon users can also stream from any service Roon supports. Spotify can be streamed via AirPlay as a workaround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the 17-inch and 19-inch versions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust the width of the faceplate. The 17-inch fits standard home audio furniture and rack shelves. The 19-inch (this one) fits professional equipment racks. The electronics, features, and specs are identical. Pick the 19” if your gear lives in an equipment rack or if you prefer the wider look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this version include the MM phono stage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The MM phono stage is included and factory-installed on this model. It uses the first RCA analog input — that input is not available for line-level sources. You still have two balanced XLR inputs and one RCA input free for other components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty does the BR-20 carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe analog section is covered by Bryston’s 20-year parts-and-labor warranty — one of the longest in consumer electronics. The digital components (DAC and streamer) carry a 5-year warranty. The warranty is transferable to a second owner with the original bill of sale from an authorized dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add the HDMI board later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — but it must be installed by a qualified technician, not by the user.

That’s a technical term, but the real benefit is a very quiet background.

The 1\/4-inch jack sits on the front panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BP-19 is hand-built in Canada. Bryston covers it with a \u003cstrong\u003e10-year warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e on parts and labor.

If you want a DAC, streamer, or HDMI built in, look at Bryston’s flagship \u003cstrong\u003eBR-20\u003c\/strong\u003e. The BP-19 is the same analog circuit without the digital features, which lets you plug in your own DAC or streamer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the BP-19 compare to the BR-20?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 is Bryston’s flagship and adds a DAC, a music streamer, and an optional HDMI board. The BP-19 is its analog-only sibling — same preamp circuit, same headphone amp, smaller price. Pick the BR-20 if you want all-in-one; pick the BP-19 if you want to choose your own DAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the BP-19 drive my headphones?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The BP-19 has a built-in headphone amp — Bryston’s “Low Z” circuit — driven through a 1\/4” front-panel jack. It’s designed to handle demanding, low-impedance headphones, not just easy-to-drive models. Plug in a pair and adjust volume on the front knob.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the Bryston warranty cover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBryston covers the BP-19 for 10 years against factory defects. Parts and labor are both included. The warranty is for the first-time buyer only and does not transfer. Save your bill of sale, or register your purchase on bryston.com — coverage needs proof of purchase from an authorized dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s the difference between the 17-inch and 19-inch faceplate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preamp inside is the same. The 17” version has a clean faceplate and is the standard audiophile pick. The 19” model (this one) is the same width as a standard equipment rack — useful if you keep your gear in a rack, or if you like the wider look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I control the BP-19 from my phone or smart-home system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The BP-19 has Ethernet and RS-232 ports on the back. Most smart-home control platforms (like Crestron, Control4, and others) can talk to the BP-19 over IP.

It picks your source — a turntable, a streamer, a CD player — adjusts the volume, and sends the signal on to your power amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 does all of that, and much more. It is Bryston’s answer to the modern audiophile’s full front end. One box replaces four separate components: a preamplifier, a DAC (digital-to-analog converter), a network streamer, and a phono stage for vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name means something. BR-20 stands for Brian Russell — the longtime Bryston president who passed away in September 2020 at age 68. The preamp was nearly finished when he died. Bryston’s team completed it as a tribute. On their website, Bryston calls it their “most exquisite representation of musicality ever.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Analog Preamp Section\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preamp circuit inside the BR-20 is a clean-sheet design. Bryston built it from scratch using all-new, fully discrete amplifier circuits — meaning no off-the-shelf chips in the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Bryston, the BR-20 produces the lowest noise and distortion they have ever measured in their 40-plus year history. The signal path is fully balanced from input to output. Balanced means the circuit carries two versions of the signal — one normal, one inverted — which cancels out interference picked up along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume control is fully analog and balanced. It uses tightly matched resistors and moves in precise 0.5dB steps. A ring of small LEDs around the volume knob shows the output level from across the room. All input switching uses physical relays — no electronic switches in the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe DAC\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20’s DAC (digital-to-analog converter) uses the same circuit design as Bryston’s standalone BDA-3 — a unit that sold for nearly $3,800 on its own. It handles PCM audio up to 32-bit\/384kHz and DSD up to DSD256 via USB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA re-clocking circuit inside the DAC removes jitter. Jitter is a timing error in digital audio — it causes small inconsistencies in playback that can blur the sound. The re-clocking circuit corrects those errors in real time.

You’ll need a separate power amplifier (such as a Bryston 3B³ or 4B³) and a pair of speakers. For streaming, you’ll also need a wired Ethernet connection — the BR-20 doesn’t support Wi-Fi. For vinyl, this version already includes the MM phono stage, so you can plug in a moving-magnet turntable directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the BR-20 compatible with my turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version includes a moving-magnet (MM) phono stage, so it works with any turntable that uses an MM cartridge — the most common type. Moving-coil (MC) cartridges need a step-up transformer or separate MC phono stage before connecting to the BR-20. Not sure what cartridge type you have? Call us at \u003ca href=\"tel:+18009420220\"\u003e800-942-0220\u003c\/a\u003e and we’ll help you sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the BR-20 support Wi-Fi?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The BR-20 requires a wired Ethernet connection for streaming. Bryston strongly advises against using a Wi-Fi dongle — they found it introduces RF noise into the preamp’s circuitry, which works against the BR-20’s very low noise floor. If running a cable to your listening room isn’t easy, a Powerline Ethernet adapter is a common workaround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the BR-20 Roon Ready?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The BR-20 is fully Roon Ready certified. It integrates directly with the Roon platform without extra setup. Many BR-20 owners use Roon as their primary playback interface rather than the built-in Manic Moose web UI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat streaming services does the BR-20 support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 supports Tidal and Qobuz natively through its built-in streamer. It also supports AirPlay via Shairport Sync, which lets you stream from Apple devices. Roon users can also stream from any service Roon supports. Spotify can be streamed via AirPlay as a workaround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the 17-inch and 19-inch versions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust the width of the faceplate. The 17-inch fits standard home audio furniture and rack shelves. The 19-inch (this one) fits professional equipment racks. The electronics, features, and specs are identical. Pick the 19” if your gear lives in an equipment rack or if you prefer the wider look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this version include the MM phono stage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The MM phono stage is included and factory-installed on this model. It uses the first RCA analog input — that input is not available for line-level sources. You still have two balanced XLR inputs and one RCA input free for other components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty does the BR-20 carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe analog section is covered by Bryston’s 20-year parts-and-labor warranty — one of the longest in consumer electronics. The digital components (DAC and streamer) carry a 5-year warranty. The warranty is transferable to a second owner with the original bill of sale from an authorized dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add the HDMI board later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — but it must be installed by a qualified technician, not by the user. The optional HDMI card adds four inputs and one output, supports 4K HDR passthrough, and allows DSD audio over HDMI from SACD players. Contact us or Bryston directly for installation details and current pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the BR-20 support MQA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat’s in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBryston BR-20 Stereo Preamplifier — Silver, 19” Faceplate, with MM Phono Stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBR-4 remote control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIEC AC power cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwner’s manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty and registration documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Audio Advisor?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-titlebox-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f3b5.svg\" alt=\"music note emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e40+ Years of Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— Since 1981, we’ve helped over a million music lovers find the right gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f504.svg\" alt=\"repeat emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e60-Day Money-Back Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— Take your time.

It picks your source — a turntable, a streamer, a CD player — adjusts the volume, and sends the signal on to your power amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 does all of that, and much more. It is Bryston’s answer to the modern audiophile’s full front end. One box replaces four separate components: a preamplifier, a DAC (digital-to-analog converter), a network streamer, and a phono stage for vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name means something. BR-20 stands for Brian Russell — the longtime Bryston president who passed away in September 2020 at age 68. The preamp was nearly finished when he died. Bryston’s team completed it as a tribute. On their website, Bryston calls it their “most exquisite representation of musicality ever.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Analog Preamp Section\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preamp circuit inside the BR-20 is a clean-sheet design. Bryston built it from scratch using all-new, fully discrete amplifier circuits — meaning no off-the-shelf chips in the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Bryston, the BR-20 produces the lowest noise and distortion they have ever measured in their 40-plus year history. The signal path is fully balanced from input to output. Balanced means the circuit carries two versions of the signal — one normal, one inverted — which cancels out interference picked up along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume control is fully analog and balanced. It uses tightly matched resistors and moves in precise 0.5dB steps. A ring of small LEDs around the volume knob shows the output level from across the room. All input switching uses physical relays — no electronic switches in the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe DAC\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20’s DAC (digital-to-analog converter) uses the same circuit design as Bryston’s standalone BDA-3 — a unit that sold for nearly $3,800 on its own. It handles PCM audio up to 32-bit\/384kHz and DSD up to DSD256 via USB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA re-clocking circuit inside the DAC removes jitter. Jitter is a timing error in digital audio — it causes small inconsistencies in playback that can blur the sound. The re-clocking circuit corrects those errors in real time. Independent measurements by HomeTheaterHifi.com confirmed it works as Bryston claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigital inputs include AES\/EBU (XLR), coaxial S\/PDIF, optical TosLink, and USB-B. Maximum resolution depends on the input used — see the spec table below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Streamer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 has a built-in music streamer. It is based on a Raspberry Pi 4 — a fast, modern platform that loads large music libraries quickly. The BR-20 is certified \u003cstrong\u003eRoon Ready\u003c\/strong\u003e and also supports Tidal, Qobuz, and AirPlay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour USB-A ports on the rear accept drives loaded with local music files. The BR-20 does not include Wi-Fi. Bryston recommends a wired Ethernet connection and advises against Wi-Fi dongles, which they say introduce noise into the preamp’s circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe MM Phono Stage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version includes Bryston’s moving-magnet (MM) phono stage, installed at the factory. A phono stage amplifies the very small signal from a turntable cartridge up to line level. Bryston says this internal stage matches their standalone BP2-MM phono preamplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the phono stage is installed, it uses one of the RCA inputs. You still have two balanced XLR inputs and one RCA input available for other sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Headphone Amplifier\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front-panel headphone output uses a dedicated low-impedance circuit — updated from previous Bryston preamps with more power and lower output impedance. Lower output impedance means better control over a wider range of headphones. The output uses a standard 6.35mm (¼-inch) jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery BR-20 is built by hand in Ontario, Canada.

Bryston says the BR-20 achieves the lowest noise and distortion in the company’s 40-plus year history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fully balanced circuit — from input to output — rejects common-mode noise. Common-mode noise is interference that gets picked up equally on both conductors of a balanced cable. The balanced circuit cancels it out before it reaches your amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHD+N (total harmonic distortion plus noise) is specified at or below \u003cstrong\u003e0.0006%\u003c\/strong\u003e.

It uses tightly matched resistors — chosen to stay accurate across the whole range of the control. Volume moves in precise 0.5dB steps. A ring of LEDs around the knob shows output level from across the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll source switching uses relays — physical switches that connect your source directly.

It is certified \u003cstrong\u003eRoon Ready\u003c\/strong\u003e and also supports Tidal, Qobuz, and AirPlay. Four USB-A ports accept drives loaded with local files.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 does not include Wi-Fi. Bryston recommends a wired Ethernet connection. They warn that Wi-Fi dongles introduce RF noise into the preamp’s circuitry, which would undermine the BR-20’s very low noise floor. Plan for a network cable to your listening room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMM Phono Stage — Included on This Model\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version includes Bryston’s optional moving-magnet (MM) phono stage, installed at the factory. Bryston says it matches their standalone BP2-MM phono preamplifier. When installed, it uses the first RCA analog input. You still have two balanced XLR inputs and one additional RCA input for other sources. Moving-coil (MC) cartridges require an external step-up transformer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeadphone Amplifier — Low Impedance, High Power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front-panel headphone output is a dedicated circuit — updated in the BR-20 with more power and lower output impedance than previous Bryston preamps. Lower output impedance means better control over a wide range of headphones, including demanding planar magnetic designs. Output uses a standard 6.35mm (¼-inch) jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 supports up to 15 sources.

The chassis is aluminum with a thick, anodized silver front panel and a lightly textured finish. This SKU is the 19” faceplate version, sized to fit standard equipment racks. Source buttons have a crisp, click-relay feel.

You’ll need a separate power amplifier (such as a Bryston 3B³ or 4B³) and a pair of speakers. For streaming, you’ll also need a wired Ethernet connection — the BR-20 doesn’t support Wi-Fi. For vinyl, this version already includes the MM phono stage, so you can plug in a moving-magnet turntable directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the BR-20 compatible with my turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version includes a moving-magnet (MM) phono stage, so it works with any turntable that uses an MM cartridge — the most common type. Moving-coil (MC) cartridges need a step-up transformer or separate MC phono stage before connecting to the BR-20. Not sure what cartridge type you have? Call us at \u003ca href=\"tel:+18009420220\"\u003e800-942-0220\u003c\/a\u003e and we’ll help you sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the BR-20 support Wi-Fi?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The BR-20 requires a wired Ethernet connection for streaming. Bryston strongly advises against using a Wi-Fi dongle — they found it introduces RF noise into the preamp’s circuitry, which works against the BR-20’s very low noise floor. If running a cable to your listening room isn’t easy, a Powerline Ethernet adapter is a common workaround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the BR-20 Roon Ready?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The BR-20 is fully Roon Ready certified. It integrates directly with the Roon platform without extra setup. Many BR-20 owners use Roon as their primary playback interface rather than the built-in Manic Moose web UI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat streaming services does the BR-20 support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 supports Tidal and Qobuz natively through its built-in streamer. It also supports AirPlay via Shairport Sync, which lets you stream from Apple devices. Roon users can also stream from any service Roon supports. Spotify can be streamed via AirPlay as a workaround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the 17-inch and 19-inch versions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust the width of the faceplate. The 17-inch fits standard home audio furniture and rack shelves. The 19-inch (this one) fits professional equipment racks. The electronics, features, and specs are identical. Pick the 19” if your gear lives in an equipment rack or if you prefer the wider look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this version include the MM phono stage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The MM phono stage is included and factory-installed on this model. It uses the first RCA analog input — that input is not available for line-level sources. You still have two balanced XLR inputs and one RCA input free for other components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty does the BR-20 carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe analog section is covered by Bryston’s 20-year parts-and-labor warranty — one of the longest in consumer electronics. The digital components (DAC and streamer) carry a 5-year warranty. The warranty is transferable to a second owner with the original bill of sale from an authorized dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add the HDMI board later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — but it must be installed by a qualified technician, not by the user. The optional HDMI card adds four inputs and one output, supports 4K HDR passthrough, and allows DSD audio over HDMI from SACD players. Contact us or Bryston directly for installation details and current pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the BR-20 support MQA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat’s in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBryston BR-20 Stereo Preamplifier — Silver, 19” Faceplate, with MM Phono Stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBR-4 remote control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIEC AC power cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwner’s manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty and registration documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Audio Advisor?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-titlebox-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f3b5.svg\" alt=\"music note emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e40+ Years of Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— Since 1981, we’ve helped over a million music lovers find the right gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f504.svg\" alt=\"repeat emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e60-Day Money-Back Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— Take your time.

The result is a compact, 8-pound amp with serious output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn stereo mode it puts out \u003cstrong\u003e145 watts per channel at 8 ohms\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e250 watts per channel at 4 ohms\u003c\/strong\u003e. In bridged mono mode it reaches \u003cstrong\u003e450 watts at 2 ohms\u003c\/strong\u003e. That's enough power for almost any speaker made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e The AMP-F2 is a power amp only. You need a separate preamp or streamer to control volume and pick your source. It pairs well with EverSolo's DMP-A6 or DMP-A8, but works with any preamp that has XLR or RCA outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes This Amp Different?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost amps at $799 use generic circuits. The AMP-F2 uses a module built by Starke Sound just for hi-fi use. The NS600 module runs \u003cstrong\u003ePurePath Ultra-HD technology\u003c\/strong\u003e with fast error-correction feedback. This keeps distortion very low across all frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amp switches internally at up to \u003cstrong\u003e600kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e — far above what you can hear. A faster switching rate means the amp tracks the music signal more closely. The \u003cstrong\u003eSAPS power supply\u003c\/strong\u003e feeds the circuit a clean, stable signal with very low noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio tops 110dB. Total distortion is 0.003% at 10 watts. Those are numbers you'd expect from amps that cost much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBridged Mono: What It Means and When to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AMP-F2 is \u003cstrong\u003ebridgeable\u003c\/strong\u003e. Flip a switch on the back and both channels combine into one powerful mono channel — up to 450W at 2 ohms. In that mode, the amp drives a single speaker. You'd use one AMP-F2 per channel of your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people won't need this. Standard stereo mode is plenty for most setups. But if your speakers are very hard to drive, or you want to run two AMP-F2 units as mono blocks, bridging gives you the extra power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Are Listeners \u0026amp; Reviewers Saying?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AMP-F2 has earned strong praise from listeners and audio fans since it launched. Most reviews highlight its power output, clean sound, and strong value for the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-blockquote\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Audio Tailor (Australia) reviewed the AMP-F2 in October 2024. They tested it on soft acoustic music and loud orchestral tracks. The amp stayed in full control on both. Their verdict: it's a standout pick for serious listeners who want real power without paying a high price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-blockquote\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a review of the DMP-A6 and AMP-F2 as a pair, The Audio Tailor found the combo works better than either unit alone. They said the sound was wide and deep, with each instrument placed clearly in the mix. Their take: it rivals systems that cost far more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-blockquote\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA reviewer at hifiguides.com tested the AMP-F2 with Sonus Faber speakers and called it an absolute keeper.

Beryllium copper is used for its excellent conductivity and durability. You can connect one or two pairs of speaker cables per channel if your speakers support bi-wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AMP-F2 has both \u003cstrong\u003e12V Trigger In and Trigger Out\u003c\/strong\u003e jacks. This lets it power on and off automatically when your preamp or streamer does. A USB-to-Trigger adapter cable is included in the box — plug it into the USB port on an EverSolo DMP-A6 and the AMP-F2 will sync its power state automatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bridging switch is on the rear panel.

The AMP-F2 is a power amplifier only — it has no volume control, no DAC, and no streaming. You need a separate preamp or streamer\/preamp to control volume and select your source. It pairs naturally with EverSolo's DMP-A6 or DMP-A8, but works with any preamp that has XLR or RCA outputs. Speakers and speaker cables are also required and not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat preamp or streamer pairs best with the AMP-F2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverSolo designed the AMP-F2 to work alongside their DMP-A6 and DMP-A8 streamer\/DAC\/preamps. A USB-to-Trigger cable is included so the two units power on and off together. That said, the AMP-F2 works with any preamp that has XLR or RCA balanced outputs. If you'd like help picking the right pairing, give us a call at 800-942-0220.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does \"bridged mono\" mean, and do I need it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBridging combines both channels of the amp into a single, more powerful mono channel. In bridged mode the AMP-F2 delivers up to 450W at 2 ohms — enough for almost any speaker. Most listeners won't need it. It's most useful for very power-hungry speakers or for building a dual mono-block setup with two AMP-F2 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat speakers work with the AMP-F2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost any passive speaker. The AMP-F2 can handle loads as low as 0.8 ohms and delivers up to 16.5 amps of output current per channel. This gives it the ability to drive demanding, low-impedance speakers that would challenge less powerful amps. It pairs equally well with efficient bookshelf speakers and hungry floorstanders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there a remote control or volume control on the amp itself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The AMP-F2 is a pure power amplifier with no volume control and no remote. Volume is controlled by your preamp or streamer. Power on\/off can be automated via the 12V trigger connection — when your preamp or EverSolo streamer powers on, the AMP-F2 follows automatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the AMP-F2 run hot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Class D amplifiers are very efficient. The AMP-F2's heat output is rated at 65 BTU per hour — about the same as a light bulb. It draws only 14 watts at idle. You can safely place it in a closed or semi-enclosed rack without worrying about heat buildup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the AMP-F2 differ from the EverSolo AMP-F10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AMP-F10 is EverSolo's higher-powered Class AB amplifier. Class AB designs use a traditional analog output stage with a large transformer and large capacitors — the AMP-F10 weighs significantly more and runs warmer. The AMP-F2 uses a more modern Class D design. Both are capable amplifiers, but at different price points and with different sonic characters. Call us if you'd like help deciding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the AMP-F2 work with my existing non-EverSolo preamp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The AMP-F2 has standard XLR and RCA inputs and works with any preamp that has those outputs. You won't get the automatic USB trigger sync you'd have with an EverSolo DMP-A6, but you can still use the 12V trigger input if your preamp supports it. Otherwise, simply switch it on manually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSee It in Action\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEverSolo DMP-A10 Review — Darko Audio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDarko Audio's video review of the EverSolo DMP-A10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iuKIVDDR_mE?si=ygzSyJZoHVeLGe0a\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-titlebox-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f3b5.svg\" alt=\"music note emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e40+ Years of Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — Since 1981, we've helped over a million music lovers find the right gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f504.svg\" alt=\"repeat emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e60-Day Money-Back Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e — Take your time.

The ultra-wide bandwidth low noise JFET input feeds the latest generation of NuPrime’s \"Single-Ended, Non-Negative Feedback\" Class A module and a MUSES8920 Op-amp input amplification stage. This circuitry produces harmonics similar to vacuum tube preamps, which have what might well be termed an airy and velvety sound. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eA non-feedback low-frequency domain Frequency Harmonic Modulation circuit provides minimum phase distortion and tone error. Additional features such as the two-stage gain control and invertible phase control increase the compatibility of the AMG PRA with other power amplifiers. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eIsolated Power Circuitry\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe layout of the AMG PRA takes excellent care in isolating the sensitive audio signals from the power circuitry. The power circuitry comprising of a star topology power and ground layers is built on one board while a separate board houses the pre-amplification circuit. An isolation layer separates these two boards, which further minimizes interference. The effect is a highly transparent sound that is natural and not over etched. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe AMG series front panel embodies its spirit. It is milled from a 15mm harden aerospace aluminum alloy using a four-axis CNC machine with a diamond cutter through a 48 steps process. Design elements such as the 3D \"floating\" logo, the curved surface around the front panel switch, and diamond-cut edge bring the quality of ultra-high-end audio products to the affordable range of the AMG series. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NuPrime","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45982820335789,"sku":"NEW-NPAMGPRA-GRY","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Demo","offer_id":45982820368557,"sku":"DEMO-NPAMGPRA-GRY","price":1498.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Open Box","offer_id":45982820401325,"sku":"OPEN-NPAMGPRA-GRY","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/NPAMGPRA_GRY_02-Large__16772.1725752768.1280.1280.jpg?v=1778115753"},{"product_id":"pro-ject-pre-box-rs2-digital-balanced-preamplifier-with-dac-black","title":"Pro-Ject Pre Box RS2 Digital - Balanced Preamplifier with DAC- Black","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003ca name=\"X63cfd57e2c74fbaf7a248af95be7edc83e96722\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003ePro-Ject Pre Box RS2 Digital Balanced Preamplifier with DAC\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0mm; line-height: 6.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 6.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0mm; line-height: 6.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 6.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003ca name=\"what-you-need-to-know\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eWhat You Need to Know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0mm; line-height: 6.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 6.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0mm; line-height: 6.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 6.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003ca name=\"X53b2964e6b9b3be495c6d93a3c84db4986f5ffa\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eTwo Preamplifiers in One: Solid-State or Tube, at the Push of a Button\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0mm; line-height: 6.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 6.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"FirstParagraph\"\u003eThe Pro-Ject Pre Box RS2 Digital packs a fully balanced, dual-mono DAC and preamplifier into a chassis barely 8 inches wide—then adds something no rival offers at the price: a genuine tube output stage you can switch in or out from your listening chair.

It takes all your sources — turntable, CD player, streamer, digital music files — and handles input selection, volume control, and signal routing before passing the result to a power amplifier, which drives your speakers. In a well-designed separates system, a good preamplifier can make a meaningful difference: it keeps the signal clean, provides proper gain staging, and gives you the flexibility to connect everything you own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Advance Paris X-P700 is Advance Paris’s flagship stereo preamplifier in the Classic Line, succeeding the X-P500. What makes it notable is how much it includes at its price point: a dual-mono architecture, a built-in Burr Brown DAC for digital sources, a full MM\/MC phono stage for turntables, dual front-panel headphone outputs with independent gain adjustment, and a choice of two distinct amplification modes you can switch between based on your preference. That last feature — the ability to select between Class A and Discrete output modes — is genuinely rare in a preamplifier at any price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo Amplification Modes — One Preamplifier\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X-P700’s most distinctive engineering feature is its selectable output mode. Most preamplifiers use a fixed circuit topology — you get what you get. The X-P700 gives you a choice between two different approaches, and each has a meaningfully different character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass A Mode\u003c\/strong\u003e uses bipolars in a double-cascade circuit configuration. According to Advance Paris, this design is “close to a tube gradient” — meaning it aims to bring the warmth and natural character often associated with tube preamps into a solid-state design. If you like a full-bodied, smooth presentation, this mode is worth exploring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscrete Mode\u003c\/strong\u003e uses a JFET differential input stage and current mirror, biased in Class AB. This is a more traditional solid-state approach: precise, fast, and accurate. If you want transparency and neutrality above all else, this is the mode to start with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can switch between them to find what works best with your power amplifier and speakers. This kind of built-in flexibility is genuinely uncommon and adds meaningful long-term value as your system evolves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for Complete Systems — Everything Connects\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X-P700 is designed to be the single preamplifier for a complete high-end system, and its connectivity reflects that ambition. On the analog side, there are nine inputs including one balanced XLR and a full MM\/MC phono stage — so you can connect a turntable directly without needing a separate phono preamp. The phono stage supports both MM and MC cartridges, with adjustable gain (48dB or 64dB) and selectable capacitance (100pF, 200pF, or 320pF) for precise cartridge matching via rear-panel switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe digital section is equally comprehensive. A Burr Brown PCM1796 DAC — a 24-bit\/192kHz converter well-regarded in audiophile circles — handles all digital inputs: two optical, one coaxial, one USB-B (using an XMOS XU208 asynchronous USB chip for computer audio), and one USB-A for playback directly from a flash drive. The USB-B input, in particular, makes the X-P700 a viable hub for a computer-based audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutputs are equally thoughtful. In addition to balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA main outputs, the X-P700 provides a high-pass output for bi-amp configurations, and two subwoofer outputs with a selectable crossover frequency of either 75Hz or 150Hz. According to Advance Paris, the 150Hz setting works well for smaller speakers, while 75Hz suits speakers capable of handling lower frequencies or subwoofers designed for deep bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X-P700 also accepts the optional X-FTB01 (aptX) or X-FTB02 (aptX HD) Bluetooth modules via its proprietary expansion port, adding wireless streaming capability if desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Do Reviewers Say?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-blockquote\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHomeTheaterHifi.com reviewed the X-P700 alongside the Advance Paris X-A160 EVO power amplifier in August 2025, using a range of sources including an Auralic Aries G1 streamer, PS Audio PerfectWave CD Transport, Eversolo DMP-A8 DAC\/streamer, and a Music Hall Classic turntable connected to the phono input.

It takes all your sources — turntable, CD player, streamer, digital files — selects between them, controls the volume, and sends the signal to a power amplifier, which drives your speakers. You need a preamplifier if you’re building a separates system (separate preamp and power amp). If you have an integrated amplifier, that already includes both a preamp and power amp in one box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between Class A and Discrete mode?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClass A mode uses bipolars in a double-cascade circuit that Advance Paris describes as having a character “close to a tube gradient” — warmer, smoother, and more full-bodied. Discrete mode uses a JFET differential input with a current mirror, biased in Class AB: more neutral, precise, and traditional solid-state in character. Both are genuinely different-sounding approaches. The ability to switch between them is unusual for a preamplifier at this price point, and it means you can tune the X-P700’s character to match your power amplifier and speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect a turntable directly to the X-P700?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The X-P700 includes a full MM\/MC phono stage, so you can plug a turntable directly into the dedicated phono input without needing a separate phono preamplifier. It supports both MM (moving magnet) and MC (moving coil) cartridges, with selectable gain (48dB or 64dB) and capacitance settings (100pF, 200pF, or 320pF) via rear-panel switches for precise cartridge matching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the X-P700 work with a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and the subwoofer integration is quite well thought-out. There are two dedicated subwoofer RCA outputs with a built-in crossover — selectable at 75Hz or 150Hz from the menu. The 75Hz setting is generally better for subwoofers designed for deep bass extension; 150Hz works better for smaller speakers that roll off above 100Hz or for subwoofers with limited low-frequency reach. There’s also a high-pass output for driving a second power amplifier in a bi-amp configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the X-P700 include Bluetooth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot built in, but it’s available as an option. The X-P700 has a proprietary Bluetooth expansion port on the rear panel that accepts the Advance Paris X-FTB01 (aptX) or X-FTB02 (aptX HD) Bluetooth modules, sold separately. This was noted as a drawback in the HomeTheaterHifi.com review (August 2025), which felt it would have added versatility if included as standard. If wireless streaming is important to you, factor in the additional cost of the module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat digital sources can I connect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X-P700 accepts four types of digital input: two optical Toslink (for CD players, streamers, or televisions with optical out), one coaxial RCA (for CD players and streamers), one USB-B using an XMOS XU208 asynchronous processor (for direct connection to a computer or dedicated streaming device), and one USB-A for playback directly from a USB flash drive or storage device. All digital inputs route to the built-in Burr Brown PCM1796 DAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the dual headphone output work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X-P700 has two front-panel headphone jacks — a 6.35mm (standard quarter-inch) and a 3.5mm (mini jack). Each jack has its own independently adjustable gain (+6, 0, or -4dB) and switchable output impedance (0 ohms or 100 ohms). The 0-ohm setting drives low-impedance headphones directly with maximum control. The 100-ohm setting suits some headphones that sound better with a bit of output impedance — a characteristic more common with tube headphone amplifiers. The HomeTheaterHifi.com review (August 2025) rated X-P700 headphone performance as notably strong for a non-headphone-specific device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat power amplifiers pair well with the X-P700?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdvance Paris recommends their own X-A160 EVO, X-A220 EVO, X-A600, and BX2 power amplifiers as natural partners. The X-P700 was reviewed alongside the X-A160 EVO by HomeTheaterHifi.com in August 2025. That said, the X-P700’s balanced XLR output makes it compatible with virtually any audiophile-grade power amplifier.

A preamp is the brain of a two-channel system. It lets you pick which source you want to listen to, controls the volume, and sends a clean signal to your power amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBryston built the BP-19 using lessons from their BR-20, their flagship preamp. The BR-20 is a bigger unit that also has a built-in DAC and music streamer. The BP-19 takes the BR-20’s analog circuit and puts it in its own case — for people who want pure analog only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe signal path is \u003cstrong\u003efully balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e from input to output. That’s a technical term, but the real benefit is a very quiet background. Bryston’s measured noise spec (–110 dB) and total distortion (below 0.0006%) are both top-tier numbers for a preamp at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery BP-19 also includes a \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in headphone amp\u003c\/strong\u003e. Bryston calls it “Low Z.” It’s a full headphone stage — not an afterthought — and can power demanding, hard-to-drive headphones. The 1\/4-inch jack sits on the front panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BP-19 is hand-built in Canada. Bryston covers it with a \u003cstrong\u003e10-year warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e on parts and labor. The warranty is for the first-time buyer only — it does not transfer to a new owner if you resell the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne note on this listing: this is the standard BP-19 without a built-in phono stage. If you play vinyl, Bryston offers two onboard phono module options — MM or MM\/MC — at the time of order. Those are sold as separate SKUs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Are Reviewers Saying?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-blockquote\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMalcolm J.

Two optional versions add a built-in phono stage for vinyl: the \u003cstrong\u003eBP-19 MM\u003c\/strong\u003e (moving magnet) and the \u003cstrong\u003eBP-19 MM\/MC\u003c\/strong\u003e (both moving magnet and moving coil). You need to choose when you buy — the module is installed at the factory. If you don’t play vinyl, or you already own an outboard phono preamp, the standard BP-19 is the right pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do I need to pair the BP-19 with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BP-19 is a preamp, not a complete amplifier. You’ll need a separate power amp and a pair of speakers. Bryston’s own 4B³ or 3B³ power amps are natural matches. Any power amp with XLR or RCA inputs will work. Want help putting a system together?

If you want a DAC, streamer, or HDMI built in, look at Bryston’s flagship \u003cstrong\u003eBR-20\u003c\/strong\u003e. The BP-19 is the same analog circuit without the digital features, which lets you plug in your own DAC or streamer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the BP-19 compare to the BR-20?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 is Bryston’s flagship and adds a DAC, a music streamer, and an optional HDMI board. The BP-19 is its analog-only sibling — same preamp circuit, same headphone amp, smaller price. Pick the BR-20 if you want all-in-one; pick the BP-19 if you want to choose your own DAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the BP-19 drive my headphones?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The BP-19 has a built-in headphone amp — Bryston’s “Low Z” circuit — driven through a 1\/4” front-panel jack. It’s designed to handle demanding, low-impedance headphones, not just easy-to-drive models. Plug in a pair and adjust volume on the front knob.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the Bryston warranty cover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBryston covers the BP-19 for 10 years against factory defects. Parts and labor are both included. The warranty is for the first-time buyer only and does not transfer. Save your bill of sale, or register your purchase on bryston.com — coverage needs proof of purchase from an authorized dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s the difference between the 17-inch and 19-inch faceplate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preamp inside is the same. The 17” version has a clean faceplate and is the standard audiophile pick.
