The RC-03 is optimized for maintaining the dynamic range and subtle nuances of music. It uses symmetrical circuit traces on its printed circuit boards (PCBs) to preserve the timing of the music. The preamplifier is equipped with metal film resistors and polystyrene or polypropylene capacitors in critical signal paths to enhance sound quality. It comes with a remote control, the RR-AT92, for convenient operation.
