CEN.GRAND has released an innovative network transport CEN.GRAND GLD1.0 Deluxe Media Player – data transfer in the model is organized not via the traditional USB bus, but via the PCIe interface. This solution is designed to reduce jitter to zero and minimize synchronization errors and packet losses. Thanks to the upgraded PCIe interface, which the company itself worked on, the streamer promises incredible sound quality.

The Denkyosha company, which now owns the Maxell brand, announced the launch of a limited edition UD-60A (type I) compact cassette. On the Japanese market, one cassette will cost an affordable 780 yen. The iconic series of Maxell compact cassettes was released in 1970 - that's when the Ultra Dynamic (UD) series earned the love of both Japanese music lovers and music lovers around the world.

Master Fidelity has unveiled the Master Fidelity Nadac L preamplifier, which features a dedicated volume control chip developed in collaboration with a semiconductor manufacturer using a JFET-like CMOS ASIC architecture.

Danish company Lyngdorf has introduced the Lyngdorf TDAI-2210 integrated streaming amplifier with analog and digital inputs. The new amp replaces the well-known TDAI-2170 model and uses a modular architecture that allows for future expansion.

Marten has released the Marten Coltrane Quintet Extreme loudpeakers – relatively compact acoustics that adopt the solutions of the flagship, the Marten Coltrane Supreme Extreme model.

DALI has released the top subwoofer DALI V-16 F – the model has become the culmination of the company's developments in the field of low frequency reproduction. The heart of the sub is the latest 16” driver, which is equipped with a T-shaped ventilated pole piece to ensure symmetrical distribution of magnetic flux through the voice coil. The ventilation hole in this tip expands at both ends, providing turbulent air flow, while two Faraday rings suppress flow modulation.

Marten has unveiled the Marten Coltrane Supreme Extreme loudspeakers – the most advanced speaker system ever created by the Swedish manufacturer. Four towers and specially designed drivers are not all, the system is packed to the brim with innovations.

Warwick Acoustics has released the top-of-the-line electrostatic headphone system Aperio GoldenSound Signature Edition. The project was the result of collaboration between Warwick Acoustics and British expert GoldenSound – as a result, the already luxurious Aperio model received a new interpretation with an even clearer and more emotional sound.

KLH Audio has introduced the flagship KLH Audio Model Seven loudspeakers – the model rethinks the company’s favorite principle of acoustic suspension, with which the brand’s history began in 1957.

CH Precision has announced the CH Precision D10 Reference Transport with an innovative laser mechanism MORSE (Mechanically Optimized Reading & Stability Enhancement). The transport itself is placed on a suspended platform of a complex design, equipped with a brass core to suppress vibrations. The transport weighs a record 13 kg and rests on alpha-gel isolators.

The floor-standing four-way acoustic systems Elac Concentro M 807 are presented — based on the proprietary VXe technology. This system includes a ring array of six ultra-compact A-XR (Aluminium's eXtended Range) drivers with a diameter of 40 mm, reproducing midrange frequencies, placed around the ribbon tweeter JET 6c Elac in a concentric configuration.

Meze has introduced new wired open headphones Meze 105 Silva, the development of the Meze 105 headphone line. The design of the Meze 105 Silva uses dynamic drivers with a dome made of cellulose composite and a titanium coating along the edge with a diameter of 50 mm. To increase the rigidity of the membrane, a titanium ring and a stabilizer made of copper-zinc alloy are used, which improves the response to transient processes.

Hermès is releasing its first headphones – as befits a luxury brand, the price of the model will be very high ($15,000). However, future owners can be assured of exceptional quality and attention to detail – the headphones are designed by the brand’s elite division Ateliers Horizons and boast a combination of metal and hand-stitched leather from Hermès.

Aequo Audio has announced the release of two floor-standing speaker models - Aequo Audio Ensium and Adamantis. Both speaker systems use a fundamentally new nanotechnology-based case material developed by the company itself. This nanocomposite converts vibrations into heat, almost completely eliminating case resonances in the range from 1 Hz to 100 kHz. Unlike traditional case materials, this polymer has virtually zero "sound footprint" and provides 10 times more damping than aluminum!

Linn presented mono power amplifiers Klimax Solo 500 – the devices use the proprietary Adaptive Bias Control technology and a hybrid cooling matrix for effective heat dissipation. Klimax Solo 500 uses the developments of the top Linn Klimax Solo amplifier. The model operates in class AB with an adaptive quiescent current control system and, at the same time, is designed in a fairly compact case made of milled aluminum.

IsoAcoustics is releasing two new models of isolation mounts in its line of products designed for acoustic decoupling – IsoAcoustics GAIA Neo and GAIA TITAN Neo. Both models continue the IsoAcoustics tradition in the field of mechanical isolation, minimizing the transmission of vibrations and resonances from acoustic systems and audio components to the floor or installation surface.

NAD Electronics has updated two models in its top Masters line - the NAD M33 V2 Network Amplifier with BluOS and the NAD M23 V2 Stereo Power Amplifier.

Eversolo presented a universal audio product Eversolo Play CD Edition - a network amplifier that also combines a streamer, digital-to-analog converter, CD transport and MM/MC phono preamplifier in one case. This is definitely a "Swiss knife for sound".
