Direct Answer

What Is the Classé Delta PRE Mk II?

In one sentence

The Classé Delta PRE Mk II is a high-end stereo preamplifier and processor that manages analogue, digital, network and phono sources before sending a controlled signal to a separate power amplifier.

It is designed for listeners who want one premium control centre for music streaming, digital sources, a turntable, subwoofers and serious two-channel amplification. Unlike an integrated amplifier, the Delta PRE Mk II does not drive speakers directly; it is paired with a suitable power amplifier such as the Classé Delta STEREO or another correctly matched amplifier.

At HAP, the recommendation is planned around the complete system: your speakers, room size, listening position, source equipment, turntable cartridge, subwoofer requirements, rack layout and future upgrade direction.

Product Overview

A Modern Control Centre for Serious Stereo Systems

The Delta PRE Mk II combines high-end analogue preamplification with digital conversion, streaming, phono playback and room-oriented control tools. Its anodised aluminium chassis, responsive touchscreen and vibration-reducing Navcom feet support a system designed for both daily usability and serious listening.

  • Balanced XLR and single-ended RCA analogue connectivity
  • USB-B, AES/EBU, coaxial, optical, USB host and Ethernet inputs
  • High-resolution USB playback up to PCM 384 kHz and native DSD256
  • Configurable MM and MC phono support for turntables
  • HEOS Built-in, AirPlay 2, mono or stereo subwoofer management and five-band parametric EQ
  • Headphone output, pass-thru mode, triggers, CAN Bus and RS-232 integration
Streaming HEOS Built-in and AirPlay 2

Access network audio and supported music services while keeping the preamplifier at the centre of the system.

Phono MM and MC Cartridge Support

The onboard phono section supports moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridge setup, including configurable loading.

Room Control Five-Band Parametric EQ

Advanced digital-domain tools can help an experienced system designer address room and bass-response challenges.

Subwoofers Mono or Stereo Bass Management

Plan one or two subwoofers with selectable frequency and slope control for a more complete stereo system.

Volume Control 0.25 dB Adjustment Steps

Fine volume increments allow precise level control for late-night listening, nearfield setups and larger rooms.

Headphones Dedicated Headphone Output

A front-panel headphone output supports private listening without changing the main loudspeaker system.

Key Capabilities

Why Consider the Delta PRE Mk II?

The key buying question is not simply how many inputs the preamplifier provides, but whether it can organise your sources, power amplification, subwoofers and control requirements as one coherent system.

The Delta PRE Mk II is most valuable when its streaming, phono, digital conversion, headphone output, subwoofer control and analogue connectivity are planned around the room and the way you listen.

01

Analogue and Digital Sources

Connect balanced or RCA analogue components alongside USB, AES/EBU, coaxial, optical and network sources.

02

High-Resolution Digital and Streaming

HEOS Built-in, AirPlay 2 and high-resolution USB playback keep network and connected digital sources within one control platform.

03

Turntable Integration

The onboard MM/MC phono stage can support a serious vinyl source without automatically requiring an external phono preamp.

04

Room and Bass Planning

Parametric EQ, tone control and configurable subwoofer outputs provide tools for systems that need more than basic left-right playback.

Specifications That Matter

Classé Delta PRE Mk II Features and Connections

These are the practical specifications most relevant to system planning. HAP can confirm the final input, output and control arrangement for your exact source list and amplifier configuration before quotation.

Support for mono or stereo subwoofers, selectable frequency and slope control, five-band parametric EQ, tilt/tone control and digital bypass for analogue sources.
Headphone output
Front-panel headphone output rated at 540 mW into a 32-ohm load. Headphone suitability still depends on impedance and sensitivity.
Control and integration
Pass-thru mode, DC trigger connections, CAN Bus and RS-232 over RJ-45 for suitable integrated-system planning.
Dimensions and weight
444 mm wide × 448 mm deep × 120 mm high, including connectors and feet. Net weight: 13.5 kg.

Specifications and supported services can change. Confirm the current Singapore unit, available features and recommended system configuration directly with HAP before purchase.

Buying Decision

Delta PRE Mk II vs an Integrated Amplifier or Network Streamer

The Delta PRE Mk II is not automatically the right choice for every system. It is most relevant when you want separate power amplification, broader source control and a platform that can support a more carefully planned stereo room.

Decision area Delta PRE Mk II Typical integrated amplifier or network streamer
System architecture Separate preamplifier and power-amplifier approach Streaming, preamplification and speaker power may be combined in one chassis
Source flexibility Analogue, digital, network, phono and headphone listening in one control platform Often simpler, with fewer specialist inputs, outputs or configuration options
Room and bass tools Parametric EQ, tilt/tone control and configurable mono or stereo subwoofer management May provide basic tone control, room correction or a single subwoofer output
Upgrade direction Power amplifier, sources and speakers can be developed separately Changing one part of the signal chain may require replacing the combined unit
Best fit Dedicated stereo systems, premium loudspeakers and long-term system planning Compact systems, simpler rooms and customers prioritising lower equipment complexity
System Matching

Pairing the Delta PRE Mk II with Power Amplifiers and Speakers

A preamplifier should be selected as part of a complete signal chain. HAP can plan the Delta PRE Mk II with suitable power amplification and Bowers & Wilkins speakers based on the room, listening distance, playback level and future upgrade path.

Delta STEREO Direction Build a matched Classé Delta pre-power system for serious two-channel listening.
Bowers & Wilkins 700 Series Plan a premium separates upgrade for floorstanding or standmount speaker systems.
Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series Discuss power, room scale, source quality and system control for flagship loudspeakers.
Subwoofer Integration Plan one or two subwoofers with crossover, phase, placement and room-response considerations.
Singapore Homes

Plan the Product Around the Room, Not Only the Specification Sheet

Final performance depends on the room, speakers, power amplifier, source quality and installation—not the preamplifier alone. For Singapore homes, planning should also include rack depth, cable access, network reliability and how the family will control the system day to day.

Rack and Ventilation

Allow Enough Depth and Service Access

The chassis is approximately 448 mm deep including connectors. Cabinet depth, cable bend radius and maintenance access should be checked before carpentry is finalised.

Network and Streaming

Plan a Stable Wired Connection

HEOS and network playback depend on reliable network infrastructure. HAP can coordinate the audio system with wider home-network planning.

Speaker and Room Setup

Use EQ as a Tool, Not a Substitute

Speaker placement, listening position and room behaviour should be addressed first; EQ and subwoofer controls then support the final tuning process.
