Whether you're streaming from your network or connecting a digital source, the BR-20 ensures a flawless, bit-perfect journey from the file to your ears. The internal headphone amplifier has even been supercharged, giving it immense power and a low-impedance output to drive the most demanding headphones with effortless authority.

From its native high-resolution streamer to its optional 4K HDR HDMI inputs and pristine phono stage, it unifies your entire collection.
