- The Core Audio DAIDO PREMIUM music server merges the convenience of our times with all the virtues of analogue technology while being future-proof at the same time. The DENPO PREMIUM DAC with their 10 MHz reference 10 MHz clock input and KAGEN PREMIUM masterclock with 4pcs was developed to match all the parameters of the dac and music server and reproduces all details and nuances with unparalleled musicality.

In every part of this equipment package is a huge step to find in digital sources the musicality, emotions and get closer to the musicians, composers.
Dynamic range and frequency extension is several times better now than in earlier standards (Redbook CD ) and to make these audible improving the source is not sufficient. The whole audio chain needs to meet the new requirement of these parameters.
Our uniform philosophy and standards guarantee that our products bring perfect spatial cues, realism and uncompromised listening experience for the discerning audience. More and better details may require us to re-learn how we listen to music due to the increased amount of information.
