The PMA-3000NE is designed as the central amplifier for a premium two-channel Hi-Fi system. Analogue sources, MM or MC turntables and high-resolution digital sources can connect directly to the amplifier, while USB-B enables connection to a computer for PCM and DSD playback. Its EXT.PRE input also allows the power-amplifier section to be integrated with a compatible external preamplifier or AV system.
