Integrable on all preamps, i.e. R\u00e9f\u00e9rence series B.dpr and One series B.dpr one, this card is also a real complement for the Alpha One all-in-one (<em>test FR VU#50; Remarkable<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to this option, the RCA 1 line input also becomes phono, and can read MM and MC cartridges. A very promising rendering, from what we were able to judge on site at High End 2025, this card lets you choose between two gain levels per cell type (MM: low (+38dB) \/ high (+50dB); MC: low (+58dB) \/ high (+70dB)), as well as four capacitance levels for moving-magnet cells (50pF, 100pF, 150pF, 200pF) and five impedance levels for moving-coil cells (33 ohm, 50 ohm, 100 ohm, 150 ohm, 300 ohm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on an ultra-low-noise matched-transistor input stage, the card corrects a passive RIAA curve on two separate stages. Available now, it can be added to any of the above-mentioned units for 2 500 \u20ac, or ordered as an option on a new unit for 2 000 \u20ac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>30\/05\/2025<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/B_dpr_rear_view-2048x610-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3932\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/B_dpr_rear_view-2048x610-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/B_dpr_rear_view-2048x610-1-1280x640.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/B_dpr_rear_view-2048x610-1-980x490.jpg 980w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/B_dpr_rear_view-2048x610-1-480x240.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1920px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Initially positioned in the digital sector, then increasingly also in amplification products, the Alsatian manufacturer has until now overlooked analog playback, since neither its preamps nor its all-in-one offer a phono module.
