The main difference from its predecessor was its own MORSe (Mechanically Optimized Reading System) design mechanism. The slides in the drive are separated from the body by a special suspension, which eliminates vibrations during the rotation of the discs. The chassis attached to the bottom of the device through a vibration-proof plate with four support points helps to minimize vibrations and vibrations.

Two mono DACs and a switchable pre! The work is carried out according to its own algorithm – a powerful processor (2.4 GFLOPS DSP) is used, which translates all signals into 768 kHz (705.6 kHz for DSD) RFM. A number of experts rate the sound as "the end of the search for the best DAC in the world."

The Zena DAC Module is a high-performance digital-to-analog conversion module from Gryphon. This model was developed primarily for collaboration with the proprietary Zena amplifier. The module is based on the ESS Sabre ES9018 32-bit chip with a sampling rate of up to 384 kHz (PCM), which supports all modern digital audio formats. Supports DSD64 and DSD128 (DSD256/512 for Windows).

This device is an ideal choice for installation in the Diablo 120 integrated amplifier. After installing the DAC, the Diablo 120's display informs you about the active digital input, the sampling rate, the PCM/DSD format, and the selected digital filter setting.

The DAC provides higher power output compared to its predecessor: 2 x 300, 600 and 950 watts at 8, 4 or 2 ohms compared to 250, 500 and 800 ohms for the same load from Diablo. The inclusion of the power parameter in the specifications when operating on a load with a resistance of 2 ohms indicates that the amplifier is ready to control the most complex reactive load, the impedance of which can drop almost to the level of a short circuit.

The Gryphon Kalliope digital-to-analog converter, named after her, in addition to supporting the PCM audio format with parameters up to 32 bits / 384 kHz, is one of the few devices of this type capable of receiving a DSD stream. This know-how using pulse-density modulation at sampling rates up to 6.144 MHz, previously used in the production of SACD audiophile discs, continues to live on in the form of an ever-expanding library of files with the highest resolution available to consumers today.

The new Gryphon DAC-3 digital-to-analog module is based on the Sabre ES9039PRO DAC chip from ESS Technology. Seven user–selectable digital PCM filters are implemented here, as well as a full range of digital inputs - USB-B, AES/EBU, coaxial BNC and optical Toslink.

Gryphon Ethos is designed in a unique triangular case and is equipped with a top-loading mechanism. "On board" is a pair of ESS SABRE ES9038PRO chips with the ability to receive (there is also a USB input) signals up to PCM 32/384 DSD512. Proprietary asynchronous upsampling to such parameters is also possible on a CD. The Gryphon Ethos output stage operates in pure Class A.

The device is designed for music playback, uses its own data conversion and processing schemes, and provides almost analog sound.

The next generation reference-class digital-to-analog converter uses PEtER oversampling algorithm, and 16 x PCM 1704 R2R DACs in a dual differential, sequential DSQ Phase Array topology.

The DST CD Transport offers CD support as digital stream up to PCM 32/384 and DSD256 DoP via I2S. 480 x 128 dots display and impressive design - icing on the cake.

The M8x DAC from Musical Fidelity is based on two Sabre ES9038Q2M chips from ESS Technologies, operating in a fully balanced, dual differential configuration. The DAC is capable of decoding digital streams in PCM format with parameters up to 32 bit / 768 kHz and native DSD up to DSD512 (the maximum resolution is available when using the USB interface).

Affordable solution for streaming - the Streamplayercan pair and control active speaker through phone, and supports Airplay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect.

The Roksan Attesa CD Transport is equipped with a drive optimized for CD-Audio playback, as well as CD-R compatible. On the front panel of the device there is a miniature display showing the main operating modes of the Roksan Attesa CD Transport, as well as control buttons for the most frequently used functions. Access to all the settings and functions of this model is possible in the remote control. The placement of the CD-ROM drive in the center of the transport chassis not only provided this model with a more accurate and attractive appearance, but also allowed it to align its center of gravity, as well as minimize unwanted resonances.

High quality CD-player with USB support for 768 kHz/32 bit, DSD512 audio offers a combination of high quality sound reproduction and elegant styling.

Totally symmetrical design Signature CD player weighs 30.5 kg - thanks machined aluminium case and precision electronics.

The model plays music from computers or network drives with a resolution of up to 32 bit / 384 kHz. Supports the main audio formats: WAV, FLAC, DSD, Apple Lossless, AIFF, AAC, Windows Media-format flac, M4A and MP3. Worry-free playback in all file formats. Four 24-bit/192 kHz digital S/PDIF inputs for connecting external digital sources. Built-in Chromecast support allows you to listen to streaming audio from a variety of supported smartphone and tablet apps (192 kHz).

During the development of the NDX2 network player, special attention was paid to the characteristics. Along with the new Naim streaming platform, we have integrated an advanced DAC and discrete analog stages. These and many other improvements of the legendary predecessor made it possible to make the sound of the new model – NDX 2 – even more lively and natural. Play music from computers or network drives with a resolution up to 32 bit / 384 kHz. Supports the main audio formats: WAV, FLAC, DSD, Apple Lossless, AIFF, AAC, Windows Media-format flac, M4A and MP3.

NSS 333 supports the latest streaming platforms (Spotify connect, Apple Music, TIDAL, TIDAL Connect and Qobuz) and allows you to listen to your favorite radio stations. Support for AirPlay2, Chromecast, UPnP™, Roon Ready and Bluetooth® aptX technologies simplifies audio transmission from a smartphone or tablet, ensuring its high quality. And the finishing touch is compatibility with multiroom systems for home speakers with the ability to connect multiple Naim devices.

Naim ND 555 is the Naim reference network player. The ND 555 features a 40-bit SHARC signal processor, a copper substructure on the suspension to isolate sensitive circuits from vibrations, and an external unit for the purest power supply.
