StormAudio ISP Evo review by Stereophile

The StormAudio ISP Evo was reviewed by Kalman Rubinson for Stereophile. It's good to see a new review from Kal and I'm glad Stereophile published a review of a SOTA surround processor given the nature of the recent article on multichannel content.

Nice review and I enjoyed it.

I’m looking forward to Dirac ART on other platforms. The technology seems to be a big step forwards. I liked the review focusing on sound quality.

I’m referring to the subjective descriptions of ART, rather than the processor itself. As an example: “Switching off the DL-ART correction filter, everything fades very noticeably, losing clarity and presence. Restoration evoked a sense of "now it's right."”

@Kal Rubinson. Thank you for the wonderful and very easily read review @ Stereophile. I will do the trial period and then most likely will subscribe to the Berliner Philharmoniker for a classical music experience that I am just starting to learn about and enjoy. I was left wondering what the internals look like and dreamed of a teardown...LoL. All in all it was a very well organized and painless read of your review.
