Elevating Audiophile ExcellenceCrafted with an uncompromising commitment to robust materials and structural integrity, the ATHENA showcases a build philosophy where every component reflects DENAFRIPS' dedication to audio longevity.

Its selection of industrial-grade premium materials and rigorous component sourcing not only guarantees unwavering performance reliability but also lays a solid foundation for audiophile-grade sonic reproduction.

60-Step Relay Stepped AttenuatorMCU controlled 60-step relay based stepped attenuator, remote controlled.

High-precision resistors are manually selected and calibrated. Precision matched through-hole high precision resistors and components deliver perfect channel balance and low distortion.

60-Step Relay Stepped AttenuatorMCU controlled 60-step relay based stepped attenuator, remote controlled, built with precision matched military-spec metal film resistors and components for perfect channel balance and low distortion.

High-precision resistors are manually selected and calibrated. Each unit is manually screened one by one and calibrated for parameters, with resistance tolerance controlled within the strict standards for audio enthusiasts.

With high stability, long service life, and fast response, the relay assembly enables precise and fault-free switching, establishing a robust protective barrier for signal purity.

Clean Power, Exceptional SoundOur firm conviction lies in the correlation between clean power and exceptional sound quality. This belief resonates strongly within the flagship ATHENA preamp.

The encapsulated power supply unit, nestled beneath the main control board, is shielded with double layers of MU Metal sheets, effectively mitigating the adverse effects of EMI/EMF. This meticulous design ensures a pristine power supply.

Multiple stages of Low Drop Out (LDO) voltage regulators, coupled with a substantial bank of capacitors, effortlessly deliver immaculate power to the Class A circuitry, guaranteeing an uninterrupted supply of clean power.

4+1 Inputs and Dual-Spec OutputsThe ATHENA features four pairs of balanced XLR inputs and one pair of single-ended RCA inputs. On the output side it offers dual specifications of balanced XLR and single-ended RCA, compatible with various power amplifiers. This enables high-fidelity transmission of a full balanced signal chain and eliminates signal loss associated with unbalanced interfaces.

It also has reserved Trigger input/output interfaces, which allow for synchronised power-on/off with other Hi-End devices such as power amplifiers and headphone amps, creating an integrated intelligent audio system.

Precision Machined DetailsSelf-developed RCA gold-plated terminals. A customised precision machining process with high-purity gold-plated coating gives excellent signal transmission stability and anti-oxidation durability.

ATHENA 15th - More Than a Preamp. It is a masterpiece where time, craftsmanship, and emotion converge into pure musical expression.
