They appear to have things well organized. Nice display color coordination.
Yes, I did. Amazing sound as one can imagine, great envelopment and impact from the subwoofers.Anyone attend the StormAudio / Dirac ART demo?
Thanks. Dirac Art will be released officially at the end of the month on StormAudio. Glad they had a nice setup,Yes, I did. Amazing sound as one can imagine, great envelopment and impact from the subwoofers.
But at the end of the day, maked me happy with my system at a fraction of the cost![]()
Materials for good speakers cost quite a bit and do not benefit from economies of scale very much. That being said, if one gives up “normal” audiophile perceptions of what a speaker should be, then those advantages come into play. Just look at the ikea wall mounted speakers.True.
Honest question though: why are we not seeing similar breakthroughs in loudspeaker prices?
Is it because physics impose that good ones be bulky and transport costs are the dominant factor?
Very well described, in the end a feeling of disgust remains after looking at the pictures. Nevertheless, you flip through them, a strange fascination.With D&D Bacch and the vintage Western Electric system one of the rare rooms where I would have liked to make a listening for this very elitist French brand and very respected in our country but with the very confidential diffusion.
After viewing the photos of the show, I have the impression of having visited a fairground festival while gorging myself with soda and cotton candy and very fatty doughnuts...now I feel nauseous.
The advantage being on the show instead of watching pics is that each action takes time, so you quickly start learning some tips to spare time. Since there is always a way to have a look inside the room before entering, I was checking the presence of an LP or tube amp. If it was the case, no time to loose. Then your stomach is much better at the end of the day.Very well described, in the end a feeling of disgust remains after looking at the pictures.

Yes, that's probably the promised linear power supply.
From what i read: DAC and maybe 2/4 first in the next 2-3 months, the rest (Pro, i guess) is more difficult, takes longer:Yes, that's probably the promised linear power supply.
I've read on RME forum they plan to ship as from Munich High End.
And they make it clear: don't expect audible improvement (for an RME device) with it.
Another VERY interesting topic I've read on a RME group on Facebook is the possibility to completely configure the DAC from a dedicated software.
The software would be available for download, with a required firmware upgrade, in a few weeks.
That's a very nice addition !
Let's hope it will be available for the ADI-2 Pro and ADI-2/4 Pro as well.

Yes, this comes from the same source.From what i read: DAC and maybe 2/4 first in the next 2-3 months, the rest (Pro, i guess) is more difficult, takes longer:

I always walk past rooms where someone is talking, and rarely wait for a ‘scheduled/timed’ demonstration, having said that I did queue three times to hear the Magico ‘ultimate’ horns, they played the same sanitised 20 minute clop repeatedly, which must have been mind numbingly boring for the staff.The advantage being on the show instead of watching pics is that each action takes time, so you quickly start learning some tips to spare time.
