Majority has expanded its home audio range in two directions at once. The British company has introduced the Fitzwilliam line of full-size Hi-Fi components, comprising three separate products, alongside the standalone Quadriga Maxi all-in-one system. The new models are aimed at users who want modern streaming features without giving up CDs, terrestrial radio or traditional wired connections.

Polish manufacturer Feliks Audio has revealed new details about its flagship Eos amplifier, a prototype of which was shown at High End Vienna 2026. The new model sits above the Envy series and is designed not only for dynamic and planar magnetic headphones, but also for driving loudspeakers. Electrostatic headphones, meanwhile, remain the domain of the dedicated Bliss amplifier.

Swiss company Wattson Audio has launched the Madison Phono, a phono stage designed for MM and MC cartridges as well as DS Audio optical cartridges. Unlike conventional models, the new unit employs a hybrid architecture: after initial analogue amplification, the signal is converted to digital at 32-bit/384kHz DXD resolution, with subsequent equalisation and filtering performed in the digital domain. According to the manufacturer, this approach reduces the number of analogue components in the signal path, improves parameter stability and lowers the noise floor.

TIDAL has introduced the new TIDAL x BUGATTI MA1 flagship monaural power amplifier, part of the Royale Collection. Positioned as the successor to the Assoluta Monobloc, the new model combines extremely powerful circuitry with a massive mechanical construction. Particular attention has been paid to the power supply: inside are three 1,000 VA toroidal transformers with magnetic shielding and mechanical isolation, while the total capacitance of the power-supply filter reaches 800,000 µF.

Estelon Forza Ultra - the new High-End loudspeakers drawing on technologies developed for Estelon’s flagship platform, the four-way design features all-new Accuton drivers, a redesigned crossover network, proprietary connector system and Stillpoints Ultra SS V2 isolation.

Cayin has introduced the HA-1A Mk3 tube headphone amplifier, the third generation of one of the company’s most compact models. The new amplifier operates in Class A, uses an all-tube circuit design, and is intended primarily for desktop audio systems. Its construction incorporates specially designed transformers, while the HA-1A Mk3 itself is the smallest model in Cayin’s HA series.

YG Acoustics has introduced the new Vesper 3 floorstanding loudspeakers, joining the company’s flagship Reference series. The model was developed with a focus on high playback accuracy, wide dynamic range and neutral tonal balance. The project builds on technologies developed for the compact Carmel 3, while the Vesper 3 offers a larger-scale design and extended low-frequency capabilities.

British audio manufacturer iFi Audio has introduced the iCan Phantom 1.5, an enhanced version of its flagship headphone amplifier. While the new model retains the overall design and concept of the original Phantom, it features a revised gain structure, improved compatibility with sensitive in-ear monitors, a new display, and expanded remote-control options via the Nexis app.

Spanish company Falcon Bravo has entered the loudspeaker market with The Dome, a two-way standmount speaker featuring an unconventional architecture and distinctly premium positioning. During development, the manufacturer placed particular emphasis on cabinet geometry, dispersion characteristics, and distortion reduction. The enclosure combines solid ash, Spanish walnut, and genuine leather, while the upper dome-shaped section features integrated lighting with adjustable color settings.

Argon Audio has introduced the Aurora, the company’s first direct-drive turntable. The model is aimed both at users taking their first steps into vinyl playback and at more experienced listeners. Its design combines a substantial low-resonance chassis, a proprietary S-shaped tonearm and a pre-installed Ortofon Concorde Music Blue MM cartridge. A built-in switchable phono preamp allows the turntable to be connected directly to an amplifier or active speakers.

Japan’s Technical Audio Devices Laboratories has introduced the TAD-A1000D integrated amplifier from its Evolution Series. The new model builds on the concept of the fully analog TAD-A1000, released in 2025, while adding a digital signal path with proprietary clocking, signal processing and digital-to-analog conversion technologies. The analog amplification section itself remains unchanged. The amplifier uses a balanced BTL bridge configuration, while the left and right channels are arranged in a highly symmetrical mirrored layout with separate power supply and grounding circuits.

Seven single-ended 300B amplifiers: rated specifications, circuit solutions, speaker compatibility calculations and impedance requirements.

German manufacturer T+A has introduced the PS 3100 HV external power supply, designed for the PA 3100 HV integrated amplifier and the A 3100 HV stereo power amplifier. The unit has been developed as an optional upgrade for components in the 3100 HV series and is intended to reduce interaction between different amplifier sections by separating their power supplies.

Shanling has launched the CD50, a compact CD player that opens the company’s new Shanling 50 series of audio components. Measuring 188 × 53 × 205 mm and weighing around 1.6 kg, the unit combines the functions of a CD transport, digital-to-analog converter, preamplifier, and headphone amplifier. The model supports CD, CD-R, and CD-RW playback and features a loading tray with an HD850 laser mechanism.

Marantz has introduced the compact Marantz MCR 60n audio system, combining the functions of several Hi-Fi components in a single chassis. It incorporates a CD player, network streamer, amplifier, MM phono stage and an HDMI eARC interface for connection to a TV. The company describes the new model as the most versatile compact system in its lineup. A Marantz MCR 60n DAB version with digital radio support will also be available in Europe. The system will be offered in Matte Black and Champagne Gold finishes.
