Key Specs
- Number of Audio Zones: 1 (Audio zones, typically designated by rooms in a home, are areas in which all speakers are dependent on the same sound source. Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)
- Number of Channels: 2 (The number of discrete channels of sound output. This can be a single number or multiple numbers separated by decimal(s). The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
- Surround Sound Supported: Not Applicable (Surround sound systems use multiple audio channels and speakers to create an immersive sound experience for the listener. There are also various proprietary technologies that imitate this kind of sound via a device's built-in speakers or soundbar.)
- Network Connector(s): 1 x LAN, 1 x RS-232

- High Resolution Audio: true (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)
- Surround Sound Supported: Not Applicable (Surround sound systems use multiple audio channels and speakers to create an immersive sound experience for the listener. There are also various proprietary technologies that imitate this kind of sound via a device's built-in speakers or soundbar.)
- High/Low Pass Filters: Variable high pass
- Preamp/Processor Design: Solid state (Tube design processors use vacuum tubes to process sound, a method typically more expensive than the transistors used in solid-state processors. Depending on the desired sound, one may prefer the warm tonal quality and character that tubes provide or the crisp, clean sound of solid-state circuitry.)
Inputs
- Network Connector(s): 1 x LAN, 1 x RS-232
- Number of HDMI Inputs (Total): 0
- Number of USB Inputs: 1
Outputs
- Number of HDMI Outputs (Total): 0
- Headphone Jack: true (The device features an interface that allows for the connection of headphones.)
Features
- App Compatible: false (The product can be connected to a program or software application on a mobile device, which then receives collected data from the product.)
- Remote Control Included: true
- Effect Type(s): None
Connectivity
- IP Control: true (Allows electronic devices to be controlled over a home network via a web-based interface. Typically refers to devices not traditionally controlled in this manner, such as A/V receivers.)
Display
- On-Screen Display: true

No526 Dual-Monaural Preamplifier for Digital and Analog Sources

Pure Path: Pure Path circuit-design philosophy includes a discrete, direct-coupled, fully balanced, dual-monaural signal path that delivers unrestricted, uncompromised sonic purity.
The Fine Art of Control: Six analog line-level and phono inputs travel through the Mark Levinson proprietary Pure Path discrete, direct-coupled, fully balanced, dual-monaural signal path entirely in class A for breathtaking purity and performance.
Precision Signal Processing: By using a discrete, balanced R-2R Ladder volume control, the acclaimed 32-bit Precision Link DAC, Pure Phono stage, and HARMAN Clari-Fi® music restoration technology, the No526 preamplifier delivers uncompromising performance regardless of source.
Precision Link DAC: The Precision Link DAC in the No526 transforms digital streams into analog audio art. It operates its ESS Sabre32 converter chip’s outputs in current mode, where they are fed into a fully balanced current-to- voltage (I/V) converter that provides the exact signal level desired.
Connections: The No526 delivers signal to balanced and single-ended stereo outputs, as well as a Main Drive Headphone output integrated into the front panel. The headphone amp circuit drives up to 32-ohm headphones in class A by employing the main output circuit rather than a secondary signal path.
High-Pass Filter: A selectable fourth-order 80Hz high-pass filter enables seamless integration of subwoofers, and unity- gain SSP mode enables home theater integration.
Integration: For modern system integration capabilities, Ethernet, RS-232, DC triggers, infrared remote control and input, and USB for monitoring and network control are included.
Pure Phono: The Pure Phono stage is a discrete design with no op-amps and operates exclusively in class A throughout, employing tantalum nitride thin-film resistors and polypropylene capacitors with exceptionally low tolerances, and physically separated channels for MC and MM.
Made in the USA: Mark Levinson equipment is designed at the HARMAN Engineering Center of Excellence in Shelton, CT, prototyped in-house, and handcrafted exclusively at an ISO 9001 facility in Massachusetts under strict Mark Levinson engineering and quality supervision.
Military-Grade Contruction: Housed in an aircraft-grade 6063-T5 extruded aluminum chassis, the No526 features extremely high build precision, to exceedingly low tolerances.
