YBA Design Range Becomes New Brand Gateway

YBA Unveils the High-Performance YBA Design Range Gateway at High End Munich 2025

France’s renowned audio specialist YBA has officially introduced the YBA Design Range Gateway, a new collection of entry-level yet premium hi-fi components set to debut during High End Munich 2025. This all-new product family includes four distinctive models: the YT302 SACD Transport, the YD302 Streamer and DAC, the powerhouse YA302 Integrated Amplifier, and first to launch—the feature-rich YP302 Pre-Amp and Headphone Amplifier. With its versatile connectivity (dual XLR and RCA inputs/outputs) and a high-performance headphone stage boasting 7.3W @ 32 Ohms, the YP302 is designed to be the cornerstone of any hi-fi setup. Its front panel offers 4.4mm balanced, 4-pin XLR, 6.35mm, and 3.5mm outputs, giving audiophiles compatibility with everything from dynamic headphones to top-tier planar magnetic models.

Packed into a compact 32x26x8 cm chassis and weighing 6kg, the YP302 is built with meticulous attention to detail, including a German 48VA UI Transformer, precision PGA2320 volume control, and custom YBA capacitors. Meanwhile, the YT302 features True DSD output for SACDs, while the YD302 streamer utilizes a Linux-based architecture supporting top-tier streaming services and delivers pristine audio through its high-grade DAC circuitry. The YA302 integrated amplifier rounds out the series with ample power—2x 100W @ 8 Ohms and 2x 180W @ 4 Ohms—delivering dynamic, room-filling performance ideal for demanding speakers. As a true YBA Design Range Gateway, this suite is tailored for enthusiasts looking to integrate cutting-edge audio with seamless functionality.

The launch lineup starts with the YP302 and YT302 models becoming available in May 2025, each priced at an MSRP of €3,200. The YD302 and YA302 components will follow in Summer and Autumn 2025 respectively—pricing for those will be confirmed closer to release. Attendees of High End Munich 2025 can experience the range firsthand at Hall 3, Booth L05, where YBA founder Yves-Bernard André will be available for live Q&A.
