BR-20 Preamplifier
The Bryston BR-20 merges our newly designed, best ever fully balanced analog preamp architecture with the award-winning digital to analog conversion (DAC) and built-in streaming borrowed from our well regarded BDP series. The BR-20 is the ultimate audiophile hub, including the features and connectivity to accommodate the demands of the modern audiophile. From our best ever built-in headphone amplifier to optional phono inputs for vinyl collectors and 4K HDMI inputs for DSD playback and A/V connectivity, the BR-20 has been engineered to work with nearly any source. Bryston’s innovative analog circuitry designed specifically for the BR-20 preamplifier has yielded the lowest noise and distortion measurements in the 40-plus year history of the Bryston brand. For the music enthusiast, this means more lifelike performances, more detail, and more dimensionality from the recordings you love. The BR-20 comes with the BR-4 remote plus RS232 and network connectivity for limitless control options..
INSPIRATION
What would happen if we designed a truly state-of-the-art analog preamplifier, combined it with our award winning digital-to-analog conversion circuitry, and built-in bit-perfect high-resolution streaming all into a single chassis? Would it sound better than separates? Could we simplify the path to world-class sound while taking up less space in the rack? Could we convince you to downsize your rack while upgrading your system?
EXECUTION
Years of R&D have resulted in a new discrete operational amplifier from Bryston that outperforms all that have come before. Each BR-20 measures at or below 0.0006% THD+N—an exceptionally low number, giving your music incredible room to breathe! We combined the award-winning excellent BDA-3 DAC with an updated BDP streaming platform into the system so you can get the best possible digital performance from our built in player, or the digital source of your choosing. We also updated the internal headphone amplifier to have more power and lower output impedance, effortlessly powering even difficult loads. Finally, we offer our best phono preamp and an all-new HDMI card as options for even greater flexibility in any system. We can confidently say the new BR-20 is our best preamp ever!
