Description

Up for sale is a used ADA (Audio Design Associates) Cinema Rhapsody Mach II High-End Home Theater Preamplifier / Processor. Proudly Made in the USA, ADA hardware is the absolute gold standard for boutique, ultra-premium custom home cinema installations. When first released, this masterclass preamplifier retailed for roughly $5,000.00 and was exclusively sold as the centerpiece of high-end, five-figure theater rigs. If you are looking for a world-class analog control amplifier or a pure, uncolored surround preamplifier for your multi-channel power amps, this unit delivers exceptional, audiophile-grade sonic depth. It features top-tier internal DACs, premium components throughout, and a dedicated multi-channel analog bypass input matrix. Condition Notes: This preamplifier is in Good Used Condition and is fully functional. Performance: The front panel control dials increment smoothly, the LED segment display matrix is sharp and fully legible, and the rear input/output arrays pass a flawless, quiet signal. Cosmetics: Displays typical minor cosmetic signs of standard rack use and handling over the years. The front faceplate is very clean and presentable, with minor surface scuffs and typical light rack-rash/scratches on the top and bottom metal enclosure plates from installation (please see all detailed photos).

Certified for THX Ultra 2 and THX Surround EX, it offers over 25 advanced processing modes including Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Discrete, Dolby Pro Logic II, and proprietary ADA DSP modes like Quad Hex Bypass and Stereo 5.
