Xs Pre 2
Xs Pre 2 is designed to make sound invisible. It doesn’t pursue “preamp quality,” but rather focuses on eliminating blurriness, reducing noise, and reshaping space with extremely high precision to make recordings sound realistic and believable.
Xs Pre 2 features a completely redesigned three-box architecture, higher Class A bias for the output stage, and carefully selected components, making it easy to achieve dynamic range and exceptional realism—especially in high-resolution systems.
The final result is a more seamless visual experience: the background becomes darker, the image is more stable, and the system’s dynamic contrast appears more natural and fluid. This component itself isn’t particularly striking—until you realize just how rich a music your system can now play, one song after another.
