Parasound NewClassic 200 Integrated Amplifier & DAC

A 110 Wpc class-D with DAC, MM/MC phonostage, headphone amp, and bass management.

With class-D amplification using Pascal Audio’s modules, the NewClassic 200 brings high efficiency, low noise, and beautiful bass to a compact unit. The onboard DAC uses the same 192kHz-24 bit circuit from the Halo P 5, offering USB, optical, and coax digital audio inputs. 

There are four line inputs as well as a phono input for MM or MC cartridges. The class-D circuit is modulated by an analog signal, resulting in a pure analog signal path from input to output.

Onboard analog bass management offers a variable 20-140 Hz high pass crossover, and subwoofer power and level can be operated via the remote control. The subwoofer output offers an 80 Hz low pass filter. A full-range mono output can be used for the subwoofer or for mono listening. There are variable and fixed stereo preamp outputs, and a home-theater bypass. There is a front panel Aux input with 12 dB of additional gain, and a dedicated headphone amplifier.

Bass, treble and balance adjustments can be made by remote control. Other features include front-panel dimming, input naming, back-lit remote control with discrete buttons, and trigger output.
