What are we looking for?

Perhaps it can be described as a peaceful state of mind, or maybe it is a kind of meditative state induced by music. For decades, our ultimate goal has been to achieve the most faithful reproduction of music possible and to improve sound quality. While this can never replace the magic of a live performance, technology and our understanding are bringing us closer and closer to achieving this.

We know we are on the right path when we can reproduce the emotions, atmosphere and feelings intended by the musician.

Analog or digital?

Our philosophy is not to follow trends.

We believe that the truth lies somewhere between analogue and digital. That's why, unlike many manufacturers, we can't claim that our system sounds analogue. However, we also cannot say that the sound we produce is purely digital. We believe we offer the best of both worlds. It's something that listeners in either world won't feel compromised by, but rather something that is perhaps better than either.

Our way

We are trailblazers and flag-bearers because we are almost never satisfied with the performance or value for money of existing music reproduction options.

Our respect for music, our questioning of the physical boundaries of technology, and our constant drive to improve things are reflected in our activities and products.

We select all components for our products based exclusively on their impact on sound quality and system synergy, rather than cost. Constantly test our equipment in different setups, evaluate its performance and conduct physical testing. We then improve and re-test them under the same parameters. This continuous, never-ending process culminates in the release of a new version or higher-level device.

Our creations

We currently produce four product types.

The DAIDO digital streamer/server combines the convenience of modern technology with the virtues of analogue technology, while also being future-proof.

The DENPO DAC was developed to match all the parameters of the DAIDO streamer/server. It reproduces all details and nuances with unparalleled musicality and has all the necessary inputs and outputs, as well as supporting all the different PCM and DSD resolution formats.

The KARUNA DDC (digital-to-digital converter) is our specialised audio equipment which transforms USB audio data into a lower-noise digital standard, such as S/PDIF, RCA, BNC, AES, TOSLINK, i2S or LVDS HDMI. We are convinced that inserting this device between your existing streamer and DAC converter will provide a much richer musical experience.

The KAGEN is our four-output external master clock. Even novice hi-fi enthusiasts know that the internal clock is the heart of any digital equipment. The KAGEN provides our other devices with a precise, distortion-free external clock signal that their internal clock signals are incapable of providing. This ensures that, when connected, they can achieve an even higher level of music reproduction.

Why?

The dynamic range and frequency extension of modern music formats are far superior to earlier standards such as Redbook CD. We believe that improving the source components is absolutely necessary to make these audible differences.

In fact, our claims go even further. We argue that the most important part of the audio chain is the source — in this case, the server/streamer and the DAC. Following the principle that information lost at the beginning of the chain cannot be recovered, we must ensure that no information is lost at this stage. From that point on, the best you can hope for is to correct the error with an opposite error to restore the original linear signal.

Our consistent approach, high standards, and systems-based thinking guarantee that our products provide perfect spatial cues, realism, and an uncompromised listening experience for discerning audiences.

Don't miss this!

We believe that we have reached a milestone, and we would like to share this achievement with you. We believe that we have taken traditional musical values to the next level using modern technology.

This new level of detail may require us to relearn how we listen to music.
