High-end preamplifier Nubert nuControl X

“Much more than a mere preamplifier, the new high-end nuControl X preamplifier is sure to win many fans, promises the manufacturer. It marks the successor to the popular nuControl 2 and comes with analog and digital feeds. Streaming is also possible, a modern network technology should allow playback in the best possible quality.

nuControl X streams the music via WLAN and Bluetooth directly to speakers and headphones. In addition, the new preamplifier can be connected to streaming services such as Apple AirPlay, Amazon Music, Tidal and other platforms. Of course, Nubert’s own wireless protocols X-Connect and X-Connect Surround are also on board, so the preamp can be integrated directly into existing stereo or surround configurations.

Classic PC hard drives or USB sticks can also be easily controlled as playback sources via USB. In addition, you can use noControl X as an external sound card for the PC and achieve a maximum quality of 768 kHz at 32-bit depth.

A high-quality phono input and the possibility to set all DSP parameters separately for all channels will please analog fans in particular. With a 7-band equalizer you can influence the sound at any time. Bass and treble can be adjusted separately, various presets and customizable settings testify to individualization. The 4-inch TFT color touchscreen display also simplifies operation.
