    Stavo pensando che il caro Danny, visto che ha la fortuna di poter partecipare a questi interessanti eventi berlinesi, potrebbe dedicare almeno un giorno intero alle nostre richieste specifiche...
    cioè, teleguidato come un drone, visitare le salette di nostro interesse far foto e filmini...
    Che ne dite?

    Friends, let me know what interests you and I will try my best to visit the stand

    Munich High End 2015

    It's been a pretty exciting couple of weeks in the run up to Munich High End.

    On the analog side of things we have the latest solid state pre-amps and mono block power amps from Audiopax in Brazil. Silvio and Julio have flown in from Brazil and are doing the final adjustments and burn in at Geoffrey Armstrong's Gallery in Monaco.

    Avantgarde Acoustic are lending us a pair of their Duo Omega speakers. These have a tweeter horn and a midrange horn paired with an active subwoofer all on one chassis. I understand there is no crossover network between the tweeter and midrange, but just one cap !

    All cabling is from Tellurium Q. We are using a cable cooker from Singapore to get the cables up to speed before the show. Tellurium Q's Black Diamond USB is pretty amazing, and it will do the USB transmission honors instead of the Corning which shuts down sometimes after running. The last USB handover will be by a Regen green, we have two of these precious units which we will guard with our lives.

    Tellurium Q are providing us with multiple copies of their system workout disk, which we will be using for final cable burn in and to get the system singing and ready for showgoers.

    Any light fingered visitors will be distracted by Melanie, our show hostess. I had over 20 applicants, 3 finalists, which I submitted to the team, and Melanie passed the double blind test hands down.

    We will have a reasonably treated demo room, 5 meters by 6 meters by 2.7 meters with lots of GIK panels. We are welcoming Dave Sherwin from GIK UK who has contributed additional panels and will review our treatment setup.

    On the DAC side of things, Lucas sent over a Lampizator B7 with DSD128 and it is singing. ! There is also an Antelope Zodiac Platinum and Antelope will be lending us their 10 M clock which works on the USB transmission. The Exasound E22 powered by the Uptone Audio JS-2 will be giving the European DAC's a run for their money. It's the only DAC we will have that accepts native DSD256. Each one of us has a personal favorite, but no fighting, as all three will be demoed.

    On the computer side, I have been working with Phil of Audiophile Optimizer fame and Larry Mitchel (lmitchie). With their help and hours of one on one collaboration, we have put together an OS tuned for HQ Player that is simply incredible. On the computer hardware side, there have been improvements that we simply did not realize could be achieved. This PC and OS combo running HQ Player doing PCM to DSD 128 and DSD256 as well as DSD 64 to DSD128 has to be heard to be believed. I had some 30 year old HiFi hobbyists who heard the system 4 weeks ago, before Phil and Larry's input , listen to the final show computer system last night and they were stunned by the improvement.

    We have not forgotten Mac users and we will have Audiovarna Plus as well as HQ Player on MAC OS

    Showgoers are welcome to bring their favorite track on USB stick or CD which we will rip to FLAC.

    All in all, a feast for the ears and eyes, and hopefully inspirational for your next steps on your HiFi journey

    If you are attending, please comment below, I will PM with you to exchange contact details, and we will look out for you at the show

    Hope to see some of you and looking forward to shaking the hand of Audiodan !

    These are very very good news! I cannot get my no-dac because it's too large and heavy, it could be a really and interesting match with Lampizator. If possible I'll be in Monaco Montecarlo in August, because my son go to study in Lyon and I must accompany him by car........
    Edward get ready to suffer my presence in Geoff's room, it will be an hard test for you andfor the entire team

    please check if you find any producer of ethernet interfaces for a DAC

    Will try my best to find an Ethernet interface for DAC that can accept DSD streams

    The Audiopax / Sound Galleries team stayed in our demo room until 3:30 am this morning ! What a joy the system is bringing to us listening to wonderful music of all genres.

    Geoff Armstrong has Kodi and subsonic running so very very reliably with HQ Player that we are going to use tablets to select the next song to be played and HQ Player will close and reopen with the next song

    User Friendly experience comes to HQ Player

    The Audiopax 50 watt mono blocks drive the Avantgarde Duos with clarity, precision and dynamics that is breathtaking !

    We have just enough panels to get the flutter echo under control and the bass behaving it self

    The Lampi B7 and the Antelope Zodiac Platinum with the external 10M clock are both sounding excellent with DSD 128 from HQP

    This morning we will start up the Exa E22

    It's not too late to hop on a plane, bus or train, to hear the best sound you have ever heard from a stereo, period.

    However you will be able to hear the same system in Monaco in a few weeks time

    Need to jump in the shower now

    Ciao !

    Al di là del piacere di incontrare di persona Edward (Eurodriver) e il suo amico Geoff Armstrong, con cui ho passato diverse e piacevoli or di chiacchere e ascolti ( bel setup con un Lampizator che non suona per niente male e con amplificazioni Audiopax (Brasiliane e costose, ahimè...), direi che dal punto di vista digitale la delusione è molta. Ne parlerò meglio a bocce ferme ma l'impressione fortissima è che qui siamo avanti di molti anni nello sviluppo di sistemi digitali di alte e anche altissime prestazioni. E' che solo a pensarlo si viene tacciati di autoreferenzialità...........ma chiunque abbia partecipato anche solo marginalmente a questa nostra sarabanda ribollente sa di aver ottenuto risultati tangibili. Ora vado a continuare a girare e ad ascoltare...........poveri piedi e, spesso, povere orecchie!

    Hai ascoltato anche il nuovo Lector DSD NoDAC?
    Non ricordo esattamente il nome, comunque è senza D/A chip, con uscita a tubi tipo Lampizator e passthrough S/PDIF per PCM.
