tioThe new reference preamplifier from Densen is perhaps the most
advanced stereo preamp on the market. It is filled with advanced soluns,
which all share one goal: giving you even more musicality.
The volume is controlled by an extremely precise attenuator made
of Vishay metal film resistors, which is switched by relays controlled
by the microprocessor. Compared to the normal volume potentiometer
used in the majority of preamps, the resistor network has virtually
no self-induced noise and an extremely low distortion. This results
in an unsurpassed precision and refinement, and the attenuator contains
no less than 200 steps! This makes it possible to adjust the volume
very precisely (0.5 dB) even when the sound is so low that an ordinary
volume control would create an uneven balance between left and right.
The B-250 contains sockets for the SA surround Board and for DP-03
and DP-06 MM and MC stages. It is also possible to upgrade the B-250
with the DNRG external power supply, further enhancing sound quality
and providing truly breathtaking musical experiences.
The DenLink system implemented in all Densen products allows 2-way
communication in multiroom installations. On the B-250, the link
system will allow the user to power up a link amplifier in the kitchen,
or somewhere else, and then control the main system in the living
room, sending the signals to and from the kitchen for playback in
another room. It will still be possible to have full display information
in another other room. The DenLink / Multiroom system is also ready
for a light controller that will be able to dim the lights in the
room.
The amplification stages are all completely new designs, based
on advanced class A designs, which have been encapsulated on the
motherboard to avoid any kind of interference with the delicate
signal. The output stage is a dual mono design with an extraordinarily
huge storage capacity (100.000 uF) which would make any other power
amplifier envious. This design produces a musicality which is truly
outstanding by any standards
Surround Sound
The SA boards (Surround Audio Boards) are not a technological breakthrough,
but they do contain revolutionary new features. The SA boards are
add-on boards for the B-250. The B-250 is initially a dedicated
2 channel product, but by mounting the SA boards you get analog
5.1/ 7.1 line input and 5.1 / 7.1 line preout. This means you can
easily connect a surround processor, DVD-player or SACD-player.
If you have a system consisting of a preamp and a 2 channel power
amp, with the SA boards implemented you can connect a B-340 (4 channel
amplifier) and then have 6 channels (5+1) of high grade amplification.
This is a very easy and sonically superior way to enter the world
of home cinema or Super Audio system.
The SA boards exist in two versions; The SA-02 board is the competitively
priced standard version, allowing for easy Surround. The SA-01 is
the reference version, with extremely high quality preamp stages.
The SA-01 will give the same sound quality as the B-250 in all channels.
All 5.1 and/or 7.1 channels can be controlled from the Gizmo system
remote, so that you can adjust for perfect levels and balance between
the channels from your favorite listening and viewing position.
With the SA board installed in the B-250 you get unsurpassed musicality
for a 7.1 system. We do not hesitate in calling it the first real
musical surround system ever.
