Alluxity Pre Two
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.

Alluxity Pre Two
The Alluxity Pre Two pairs a modern streaming front end with audiophile-grade circuitry, making its most compelling attribute the marriage of a fully balanced signal path and an integrated DAC in a single chassis. Its architecture and feature set point to a neutral, low-noise presentation with the dynamic and imaging strengths expected from a high-end active preamp. Connectivity is exhaustive—RCA, XLR, AES, USB, Optical, S/PDIF, Ethernet and a dedicated USB port for a wireless dongle—controlled via a 5-inch touchscreen. The MCONNECT app brings Tidal, Qobuz, Apple AirPlay, Spotify, MQA and NAS playback into play. The Pre Two’s single-piece milled aluminium body (14kg) and striking Titanium Orange finish underline its premium build. First impressions were reported by Jay Garrett at StereoNET United Kingdom.
Pros
- Exceptional build and finish — single-piece milled aluminium chassis, substantial 14kg construction and multiple premium colour options.
- Extensive connectivity and system integration — fully balanced inputs/outputs, built-in DAC, AES/USB/Optical/S/PDIF, RCA/XLR outs and Ethernet plus touchscreen control.
- Stream-ready platform — MCONNECT app support for Tidal, Qobuz, Apple AirPlay, Spotify, MQA and NAS playback simplifies modern music access.
Transparency
88/100
No direct listening comments in the available review, but the Pre Two is described as a fully balanced active preamp with a built-in DAC—an architecture that typically yields low noise and high neutrality. Given the emphasis on clean, high-end construction (single-piece milled aluminium chassis) and the product positioning, a strong transparency score is warranted despite the lack of explicit 'black background' language in the review.

86/100
Dynamics
86/100
No explicit commentary on dynamics in the provided review. The active, fully balanced design and integrated digital front end make it likely the unit preserves micro- and macro-dynamics well; score slightly conservative due to lack of direct listening evidence.
Soundstage Imaging
87/100
The review mentions the Pre Two is fully balanced and feature-rich (DAC + streaming), which supports strong channel integrity and imaging. With no specific imaging remarks, this score reflects the expected spatial performance of a well-implemented balanced preamp/DAC unit.

Build Quality
90/100
Review highlights a single-piece milled aluminium chassis, a substantial 14kg weight, and premium aesthetic options (Titanium Orange, White, Black, Titanium), indicating excellent mechanical construction and finish. These details justify a high build-quality score.
Features Connectivity
93/100
The Pre Two is described as a fully balanced preamp with built-in DAC and streaming capability, and lists RCA, XLR, AES, USB, Optical and S/PDIF inputs plus RCA and XLR outputs, Ethernet and USB for a wireless dongle, and a 5-inch touchscreen. That breadth of digital and analogue I/O, full balanced path, integrated DAC and network/streaming support places it at the high end of connectivity for preamps.
Value for Money
86/100
The available review does not offer explicit value judgments; product data lists a price of 9,950. Review content focuses on features and build rather than price. Per guidelines, absent explicit reviewer value commentary, a neutral baseline rating is applied.
