"... because when it comes to a source device of the highest demands, apolitan is still a real insider tip for me, which can really look forward to any comparison to devices from well -known competitors ..."

Part1: "... that worked out and sounds right and without warm -up time at the first album of the" AmbitioS Lovers - Lust "very pleasant. Wow. This disc is completely new to me. A live recording from '75 from a club with a lot of atmosphere: you can hear conversations, laugh, cough, dishes and glasses. Experience first. Now it also goes through the speaker - very fascinating! Where does the information come from suddenly that all sounds/noises (and of course the instruments!) Are so well arranged on this disc in the room? (Even my thick turntable Very nicely dissolving Benz SL system does not succeed as well as your DAC). In addition, otherwise "sharp or shrill" - so rather height -heavy pieces sound softer when listening for the first time and somehow "Ausha Ltbar ”… (I only heard three of these known torque numbers, but notices immediately. Sorry for my writing diarrhea, but I am only a bit perplexed here and I have to express my astonishment. "Part2: Only yesterday I switched from your DSD-DAC to my aqua la scala after a week of daily hearing. Music heard intensively all evening. I was very flabbergasted that my expectation that it would of course sound "different" but not necessarily worse, added a different experience. It occurred to a certain disillusionment that I actually lack something. Disillusionment as I would, not by constantly listening to the La Scala DAC, would give myself away from my impression that was given during the week. Also expensive. Even when feeling the sound, the old Voltaire saying seems to have the better than enemy of the good, unrestricted validity ... What did I find better? Solution and spatial arrangement of instruments and voices in the room. I have only really learned to appreciate certain live recordings, like the already mentioned Jim Hall. But after a certain time of hearing, I could also relax music that I had perceived as a little unentential to even nervous until then. I don't know and somehow I don't care about my music hobbies, but the effect is irritatingly obvious: it sounds clearer and very pleasant in a certain way. In this respect - and the long speech short sense - I only have to ask you what we do now if I were reluctant to send the good piece back ...? Kind regards sends an enthusiastic

"Thank you for the test device. After three days and initial start-up difficulties, I have now been able to get a first picture. Your fears that I would take the test device can" unfortunately "confirm ;-) In addition to many things, it is in particular Three to four parameters that the DAC makes different from my (...): rather dark timbre, which remains very authentic at higher volume. In my opinion Worked out. Room resonances in the bass in my 10 m long room are largely eliminated, which speaks for a very differentiated reproduction of the bass impulses. In general, the structures of the low -tone components, even compared to the (...), which takes up a good position here, are again 2 classes more finely worked out. So, I would like to keep it. "

"Admittedly, I couldn't really make friends with digital music and the associated players. Perhaps it was also because my best friend was forced me to buy a CD player in the early days of the CD. Until then, the good old vinyl sacred. When listening to music on CD, I always lacked something. I was more likely to consume digital music and rarely enjoy it properly. Even the best CD players could not inspire me permanently, whether accuphase, forsell or music Components. And then there has been streaming - mega convenient, huge music selection and master quality for several years. You could think: What does the music -loving heart want more? However, even here I am - even with various different components - never permanently happy became. My reference remained the vinyl. A few years ago I started to change my facility. away from the award -winning test winners au S of mass production and towards small manufacturers who develop exceptional high -end with a lot of expertise and lots of passion. In this context, I became aware of the apolitan. What should I talk around the hot porridge? In my view, Oliver Winkler is just a type of developer in which the heart beats for music. After the first phone call, I had a very good feeling. With his philosophy of music and its reproduction, I was able to identify myself immediately. Then made an appointment, drive there and picked up a device for a trial. The usability is very easy, I find the design appealing and timeless. Since I already had a necessary Roon account, nothing stood in the way of music enjoyment. And in my eyes, music enjoyment is exactly the right description. Everything is right for me. No digital hardness. The music is just there. Everything as it should be. The sound of this wonderful apolitan completely inspired me. The first time after so many years I had goose bumps with digital music. Apolitan plays pure music without any effects. I can completely indulge in music and relax. Even the little hairs on the body regularly give feedback that everything is right. Thanks for this extraordinary product. The purchase decision was made quickly. For me, the apolitan now means: digital music - very happy, at any time. :-) "
