Details

Alchemy transforms your listening.

The Alchemy DDP-2 combines three components in one elegant piece of gear to give you the highest-quality digital-to-analogue converter, preamp and digital streamer we know how to make. Then we combined it in a single chassis only 1U (1.75 inches) high.

The preamplifier offers maximum flexibility, while incorporating DAC and streaming functions to make the DDP-2 the centerpiece of your digital system.
