Proprietary Mark Levinson Signal Path
The № 519 Audio Player was developed with Mark Levinson’s
proprietary Pure Path discrete, direct coupled, fully balanced,
dual-monaural signal path, delivering pure, uncompromising
sound quality without restriction, limitation, noise, or coloration.
Its Precision Link digital-to-analog converter features nine
individual power supplies plus proprietary jitter elimination
circuitry, and its fully balanced, discrete I/V circuitry forms the
heart of the digital audio processing stage. Six digital audio
inputs on the № 519 are provided including one AES/EBU, two

computer delivers outstanding performance headroom for
flawless performance, regardless of configuration.
