Kyron Audio has introduced the Kyron Audio Pythos network transport. Every element of the new product – music storage, navigation and streaming systems – has been optimized for low jitter and low noise.
The Pythos network music transport has been designed to deliver flawless playback of music – from standard CD resolution to high-resolution PCM and DSD. The built-in CD drive allows you to copy your music library on physical media to online storage and have almost instant access to any track. Or you can get high-resolution content from subscription-based streaming services. New Kyron Audio Pythos has only a tablet, smartphone or external computer-based control – this scheme without information screen or video subsystem minimize interference and crosstalk.
The music playback engine used in Kyron Audio Pythos is allocated separate processor cores so that other processes do not interfere with its work. This ensures a stable, bit-perfect audio stream regardless of whether you are viewing or updating playlists or ripping a CD. The Kyron Audio Pythos transport uses a USB interface to connect an external DAC.
Kyron Audio Pythos uses ECC RAM, which is usually intended for mission-critical systems. ECC memory can detect and correct single-bit errors that could otherwise distort the audio stream. These errors are minor, will not be detected in most measurements, and are often ignored by the processor. And finally, Dual-Block Network Transport scheme guaranties minimization of noise from power supply.

Sennheiser has introduced the Sennheiser ACCENTUM Open TWS headphones – the model, designed in a stylish compact design, promises, according to the manufacturer, exceptional comfort during use and a secure fit.
The Ranieri Audio Labs Varieta preamplifier has been released – the model uses directly heated triodes and allows for a wide range of tubes (300B, 2A3/6A3, 12A/201A, 26, 30, 31, 45, 50, 71A, 801A/10Y, 275A/252A, 245 and 842/VT52 will do). Simply ideal for those wishing to experiment with tube rolling.
Accuphase has introduced the Accuphase C-57 phono preamplifier, based on a fully balanced circuit design from output to input with dual mono topology. The Accuphase C-57 also uses a two-stage solution: the first stage is the output stage to ensure matching with MM and MC cartridges, the second stage is the correction amplifier itself.
Last year, Goldmund launched the impressive Goldmund Rhea and Theia acoustics in active versions with a wireless streamer. The all-in-one solution certainly looked brilliant, but High-End fans often prefer component systems. So now the company has introduced the Goldmund Rhea and Theia loudspeakers in a Passive version.
Stratton Acoustics has introduced two models of compact bookshelf loudspeakers – Element 6 and Element 8. Both speakers use the company’s patented soft dome tweeters with a diameter of 29 mm, equipped with a waveguide to provide wide sound dispersion. The models are hand-assembled at the company’s own factory in England.
