Dan D'Agostino PROGRESSION PREAMPLIFIER, Owner'S Manual

Page: 2 / 11

Thank you very much for purchasing the Progression Preamplifier. The Progression
Preamplifier is the first preamplifier I’ve designed that features an optional DAC module
and includes a Bluetooth remote control. These are two features that I find really add
to the enjoyment of a system. As with the Progression amplifiers, the Progression
Preamplifier embodies everything I’ve learned in decades of designing high-end audio
products. It incorporates a unique blend of the very best and most advanced parts with
the same labor-intensive, through-hole construction we used in the very early days of
my career. This is the only way to make a preamplifier that meets my standards and that
will last for decades to come.
Your Progression Preamplifier was built by hand under my close personal supervision
at our Arizona facility, and individually tested to ensure every circuit works perfectly.
My staff of dedicated craftsmen and technicians work diligently to guarantee that every
Progression Preamplifier tests and meets the stringent specifications I have set for
electrical, mechanical, and finish criteria.
I hope you find that your Progression Preamplifier gives you the best sound quality and
the most intuitive operation you have ever experienced in your home. And I hope your
eyes enjoy its elegant design and impeccable craftsmanship as much as your ears enjoy
listening to it.
Of the hundreds of products I’ve created, the Progression Preamplifier is one of only a
very few that carry my signature. That means I stake my reputation on its performance—
and on your satisfaction with it. The Progression Preamplifier will reveal new musical
horizons for you, as it has for me. I hope you love it.
Sincerely,
A note from Dan D’Agostino
FOUNDER, CHIEF ENGINEER AND DESIGNER OF DAN D’AGOSTINO MASTER AUDIO SYSTEMS
“ The Progression Preamplifier will reveal new
musical horizons for you, as it has for me.”
