DITA Prelude

*Official launch 7th July 2025

The Prelude should have been the first entry model from DITA, but we sometimes only discover the essence of a beginning on hindsight.

Going back to DITA's roots, a single dynamic driver that's well implemented enough draws a parallel to the original DITA Truth driver. This new rendition is a mildly V-shaped tuning that's reactive with crisp attacks but smoothened with a natural decay to showcase technical competence in engineering.

In terms of build quality, this entry model is flaunting a three-piece machined aluminium shell that is at once ergonomic and reliable as a chassis. Its baffle design functions as a vent to control airflow allowing for better frequency separation, resulting in a wide staging that allows each instrument and vocal to have their own spacing and treble extensions to peak without aggression.

The DITA Prelude comes with the ANTE, a DAC-Amp dongle optimised for the Prelude that sports Hi-Res capabilities. The ANTE is expected to work with all USB-C devices to provide a clean, noiseless source with minimal power draw on any attached device.
