Denafrips Hestia Fully Balanced Preamplifier
The Denafrips Hestia is a fully balanced, pure analog preamplifier designed to bring transparency, precision, and control to your high-end audio system. As the entry-level preamp in Denafrips’ acclaimed lineup, the Hestia delivers performance far beyond its class, embodying the brand’s commitment to sonic purity and build quality.
At its core, the Hestia features a fully balanced, discrete Class A design — with no op-amps or digital components in the signal path. This architecture ensures exceptional clarity, low noise, and minimal distortion. The precision-engineered 4-stage stepped attenuator volume control provides ultra-accurate volume tracking, preserving signal integrity even at low listening levels.
The Hestia’s linear power supply is anchored by a low-noise toroidal transformer and high-quality capacitors, ensuring clean and stable power delivery to the sensitive analog circuitry. With 2 pairs of XLR and 2 pairs of RCA inputs, and both XLR and RCA outputs, the Hestia integrates seamlessly with both balanced and single-ended systems.
Encased in a solid aluminum chassis with elegant minimalist styling, the Denafrips Hestia is more than just a control center — it’s a finely tuned component that allows your sources and power amplifier to perform at their best. Experience a rich, coherent sound with superb resolution and dynamics — all in a compact yet uncompromising form.
