The Alluxity Pre Two is a fully balanced control centre that pairs a built-in DAC and expansive streaming with unusually broad analogue and digital connectivity.

What Reviewers Are Saying
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 75/100
The available coverage is a product announcement rather than a listening review, so it offers no direct assessment of the Pre Two's transparency, tonal character, dynamic ability, or spatial presentation. Its fully balanced architecture and integrated digital platform are described, but no sonic conclusions can responsibly be drawn from those specifications alone.
Transparency Resolution
75/100
The review provides no listening observations about clarity, noise floor, detail retrieval, or the preamp's ability to disappear from the signal path. Although the unit is described as fully balanced and includes a DAC, these design details are not evidence of audible resolution.
Tonal Balance Musicality
75/100
No reviewer comments are provided on tonal balance, timbre, warmth, neutrality, or musical engagement. The available article focuses on the product's launch specifications and appearance rather than its sound.
Dynamics
75/100
The available coverage says little about microdynamic expression, large-scale impact, or how confidently the Pre Two drives a power amplifier. No listening evidence is supplied to establish whether its presentation is especially lively or restrained.
Soundstage Imaging
75/100
There are no reported observations concerning image focus, soundstage width, depth, layering, or three-dimensionality. The review does not include audition-based comments on spatial performance.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
89/100
StereoNET highlights the substantial 14kg construction and a chassis machined from a single piece of milled aluminium. The article presents the enclosure as carefully executed and distinctive, although it does not assess long-term reliability, control feel, or internal component quality.
Features Connectivity
94/100
The Pre Two is unusually comprehensive: it combines a fully balanced preamp, streamer, and built-in DAC, with RCA, XLR, AES, USB, optical, and S/PDIF inputs plus RCA and XLR outputs. Ethernet, provision for a wireless USB dongle, a five-inch touchscreen, and MCONNECT support for Tidal, Qobuz, AirPlay, Spotify, MQA, and NAS playback make it a particularly flexible control centre.
Value for Money
85/100
The reported price range places the Pre Two in a premium market segment, where its extensive streaming, DAC, and balanced-preamp functionality is relevant to the proposition. However, the available review explicitly awaits pricing details and offers no direct judgment on whether the product represents strong value against rivals.

Specifications
Manufacturer's Description — Alluxity
The Pre Two is the successor to the Pre One featuring the a multitude of new features.
While designing the Pre Two we took all the feedback from the Pre One and purposedly shaped the unit to fill the gaps that our partners and customers had mentioned over the years. That means the Pre Two has a redefined volume control with 1db steps all the way from -79dB up to +13dB, along with a -6dB function in case a source has too high output.
Each channel is still fully balanced with new and upgraded gain modules that supports by-amping.
During the deisng process we tested numerous streaming solutions and found the Converse Digital to offer the easiest and best kit: supporting everything from MQA, Tidal, Qobuz, Apple Airplay etc. up to 192kHz 32-bit.
