Classe CP-800 MKII Great Condition Clean Sounding Pre-Amp!

Here's a clean great sounding Classe CP-800 MK2 with the latest firmware for 192k DAC.  You will be hard pressed to find a pre amp with this kind of features and sound quality.  Trying to down size a little and get back into tube based pre-amp.  I've added a picture showing that the firmware is 2.0.1.4 which means MK II according to the Classe Audio website.  https://classeaudio.com/firmware-cp-800-MkII/

The vast majority of high end preamplifiers available today are
direct descendents of products that have been made for decades, rooted
in an all-analog world. The CP-800 is something new. It combines key
building blocks of a contemporary high-end audio system in a unique way
to improve and shorten the signal path. New technologies are applied to
realize the benefits of modern computer-based audio. Now, a CD ripped to
a computer can sound better than if played in a CD player; convenient
and feature-rich access to your music library is possible with
state-of-the-art playback; a Classé-designed Switch Mode Power Supply
(SMPS) with Power Factor Correction (PFC) delivers higher performance at
a lower price; there is no compromise at an affordable price. And there
is much more…

Streaming/AirPlay

A rear panel Ethernet connection offers streaming options including
Apple’s AirPlay and DLNA, where sources benefit from special handling to
accommodate files up to 192 kHz with the CP-800’s own oscillators
controlling timing for D-to-A conversion. Convenience never sounded so
good.

IP Control

When connected to your home Network, the Classé App (available free of
charge in the Apple App store) running on Apple iOS devices offers a
sophisticated alternative to the IR remote.

USB

Having a dedicated computer in your listening room doesn’t have to mean
noisy fans and bulky monitors. Simple solutions like Apple’s Mac Mini or
an inexpensive laptop can be installed out of site and operated
remotely. Connect by HDMI to your TV, use a wireless keyboard and mouse
when necessary and connect to the CP-800 by USB for audio, then control
with an iOS device, Smartphone or tablet. Classé’s unique implementation
of asynchronous USB audio will render studio-quality sound from
properly ripped CDs and high-resolution music downloads up to 192 kHz.

Bass management

No matter how well your speakers reproduce bass, they are almost
certainly not located in the optimum place in your room to do so. The
interaction of your speakers and the room will result in signal
cancelations or dips at certain frequencies at the listening position;
no amount of EQ can solve this problem. The solution is mono or stereo
subwoofers, outputs for which are available from the CP-800 with
selectable crossover frequency and slope in the digital domain. The
result is deep, smooth bass response without adding analog circuitry to
the L&R channel signal paths.

PEQ

Regardless where your speakers, subwoofer(s) and listening chair are in
relation to each other, there will likely be room modes that can only be
addressed with equalization. In most rooms, the three primary
dimensions contribute to three low frequency modes where the room
actually increases the level causing peaks at those frequencies. The
CP-800 offers parametric equalization to help address these real world
problems. Performed in the digital domain, these high quality filters
allow optimization of low frequency response without adding analog
circuitry to the L&R channel signal paths.

Tone Control

Banished from legitimate high-end preamps since the sixties, the tone
control makes a come-back in the CP-800, but with a modern
implementation. Tone controls typically mean additional analog circuitry
in the signal path. The CP-800 introduces a flexible tone control
feature that is entirely digital. If you’ve ever wanted to soften a
recording’s top end a little or add a little warmth, you will appreciate
the convenience and subtlety of the CP-800’s Tilt tone control feature.
After more than forty years, the tone control is back, and now it works
properly and without compromise.

Analog quality

Make no mistake, the CP-800 is also our best analog preamplifier; with
fully balanced circuitry and completely isolated symmetrical left and
right channels, your analog sources will sound better than ever. The
CP-800 makes digital processing available to all sources, but when you
want pure analog, the Digital Bypass option switches off the digital
clocks while the CP-800 handles the signal in the analog domain.

Have it all

The CP-800 puts world-class performance into one flexible and
attractively priced chassis. Separate CD players and USB DACs require
additional circuitry and interconnect cables plus a separate analog
preamp, giving the CP-800 an obvious comparative advantage in both
performance and value. The additional features like Bass management, PEQ
and Tone Control make better real world performance a reality. If you
are building a no-compromise high-end audio system, the CP-800 is
unique. It is the first and only preamp/processor that lets you have it
all.
