The black Onkyo P-3000R Hi-Fi Pre-Amplifier is a streamlined, 2-channel pre-amplifier that packs a treasure trove of stunning audio technology. The P-3000R handles both analog and digital sources, with connectivity options including AES / EBU digital connectors and a USB device for PC audio. Separate 192 kHz / 32-bit TI Burr-Brown DACs for each channel ensure exact digital-to-analog conversion. The P-3000R minimizes interference and maintains signal quality, employs noise-reducing DIDRC (Dynamic Inter-modulation Distortion Reduction Circuitry) technology, a vibration-resistant chassis design, and independent amplifier circuitry. Moreover, the P-3000R's bi-amping capability provides you with great flexibility in how you set up your system.
DIDRC (Dynamic Inter-Modulation Distortion Reduction Circuitry): The DIDRC technology captures noise beyond audible range and prevents beats from penetrating in to the audible range.
Separate Digital / Analog Circuitry:
To prevent unwanted interference, the P-3000R employs physically separate circuitry for digital and analog processing. It also features separate transformers for digital and analog circuitry.
Side-Mounted Circuit Board Construction: The circuit boards inside the P-3000R is cushioned by internal struts and affixed to the front, side, and rear panels. This method of construction prevents vibrations from the chassis from adversely affecting the circuit boards.
PLL (Phase Locked Loop) Ultra-Low Jitter Technology: PLL ultra-low jitter technology reduces jitter by comparing the input and output phases of the digital signal and creating a precise clock waveform. This enhances the precision of digital signal processing and noticeably improves perceived audio quality.
Playback of Various Music Sources Including PC Audio Via USB: Using the USB port on the rear panel of the P-3000R, you can connect your PC and playback 192 kHz / 32-bit HD audio formats.

Playback of PC audio requires dedicated software that can be downloaded from an Onkyo website
