Enleum HPA-23RM Desktop/Portable HighEnd Headphone Amp
The HPA-23RM is our new reference dedicated headphone amplifier. It is designed for both high-end desktop usage and mobile usage - hence using "R" for reference and "M" for mobile in the product name. Continuing our legacy in the headphone amplifier design with up-to-date technologies, the HPA-23RM follows in the footsteps of the AMP-23R and our other legacy products, such as Bakoon's HPA-21 and HPA-01M.
The HPA-23RM contains two amplifiers in one package as it employs both voltage and current outputs. The voltage output circuit is directly inherited from the AMP-23R's latest MOSFETs output stage with a simplified version of the JET2 Bias circuit. While its unique current output is a descendant of the HPA-21's bipolar transistor based circuit, its modern design is even more refined with advanced technologies.
Furthermore, thanks to the technological advancements in the battery power supply design and efficient thermal design, one can now listen to Enleum's reference circuits in a much smaller package.

Playback design MPT-8 Dream SACD/CD Transport
The MPT-8 serves as the digital source for its companion product, the MPD-8 Dream DAC.
It is designed to provide a multitude of internal digital sources as well as plenty of connectivity for
many external sources. It incorporates extensive buffering, re-clocking, filtering and cleaning
of all digital sources before encoding the digital audio data in its native format onto a fiber
optical carrier (PLINK) for the MPD-8 DAC. This architecture provides the ultimate separation
between digital sources and the sensitive analog circuitry inside the DAC. In fact, PLINK not only provides a galvanic separation, but also allows for extremely long cable lengths (up to 300m).
MPT-8 / MPD-8 combination for best performance and separation between digital and
analog circuits
The MPT-8 comes standard with a very high quality CD/SACD drive system that has been
developed by D&M specifically for audiophile applications and is not just a modified mass
produced video drive as is very common with most other drive systems. All vital parts of this
drive are built in metal for increased stability, tracking accuracy and vibration control.

Edelweiss Series MPS-X Digital Front End/Streamer
The purpose of the MPS-X is to separate digital sources from the sensitive circuits of the DAC.
For this it uses:
• PLINK, a high quality and proprietary fiber optical link to the DAC for galvanic separation.
PLINK supports all sample rates for PCM and DSD natively.
• PDFAS, a proprietary technology to buffer all digital inputs and dramatically reduce any
clock jitter. While all our products have this technology already built in, adding a second
layer in the MPS-X increases the sonic performance even more.
• separate chassis with high quality linear power supply for physical separation
In addition the MPS-X provides streaming connections from the internet and network attached
storage, carefully removes any incoming jitter by Playback Designs’ proprietary clocking and
buffering system and then encodes all data natively to either the standard Coax, AES outputs
or the Playback Designs proprietary PLINK output.

MPS-X $16,000.00
Playback Design USB X4
Purpose: this simple USB to PLINK interface is designed to isolate any USB source from the sensitive DAC via our high quality, synchronous fiber optic PLINK connection. It borrows this concept from it's bigger brother, the MPS-X, which is not just limited to the USB interface like the USB-X4, but also includes a variety of other interfaces and features as well (see MPS-X product page for more details). Any digital source with a USB host interface can connect to the USB-X4 which then is connected to any of our DACs(*1)through PLINK. All asynchronous clocks that are mandated by the USB interface standard and any other digital noise from the source are therefore kept from entering the DAC where they would always cause some audible deterioration. Asynchronous data streams from the USB source are carefully filtered with our PDFAS algorithm and synchronized to an internal high quality audio clock. This results in a dramatic sonic improvement when compared to a direct USB connection to the DAC. The sound stage becomes even more defined, the performance even more liquid and overall more "analog-like". A valuable addition to any of our products.

Alluxity - Intergrated One mkII.
Improving on the Int One proved quite a challenge. Lifting the level of performance significantly within the physical restrictions of the chassis was not only difficult, but at times also seemed impossible.
And why is that?
The Int One mkII differentiates from the previous model by having the pre-amp stage completely redesigned; now being fully balanced which offers overall greater gain, it also offers a higher bandwidth support with almost triple the volume sensitivty settings allowing you listen at levels from -79dB to +13dB.
This greatly increases the range of what type of rooms the Int One mkII supports: anything from now larger rooms to even smaller and dampened rooms, as sound quality and noise levels has not been compromised at either lower or higher volume settings.

Mutec REF10 SE120 The Ultimate Audiophile 10 MHz Reference Master Clock
The "tuning" variant REF10 SE120 outperforms the original model REF10 in this regard considerably. A clearly measurable advantage is the result of a special feature of the REF10 SE120: its much more elaborately manufactured and selected oven‑controlled quartz oscillator (OCXO). This oscillator is selected according to the strictest standards in test procedures lasting many hours with the help of exceptionally precise and expensive measuring technology. The use of such an outstanding oscillator is responsible for the fact that the REF10 SE120 from MUTEC currently delivers - to our knowledge - the lowest phase noise, respectively jitter values in the industry. This outstanding technical performance has a noticeable impact on the sonic result. Precision, transparency, spatiality and dynamics of the musical presentation reach an unprecedented level and will inspire you!
"The unit makes a clear audible difference. What was recorded with the REF10 SE120 radiates now a high-class aura, it sounds more elaborate, more expensive. The spatiality increases to a significant degree".
Hiroyuki Tsuji, Mastering Ingenieur, King Sekiguchidai Studio Tokyo, Japan

UEF Orange Duplex - Orange Is The New Blue
The Orange Duplex starts with a new Isolated ground to lower your system’s noise floor.
We accomplish this by isolating its ground connection from the junction box in your wall, which can introduce noise into your system.
We then apply all Orange Fuse processes, including a multi-stage high voltage treatment first developed to improve current and voltage transfer in our limited edition Galileo SX PowerCell.
We then apply the same UEF Compound developed for the Galileo SX PowerCell for our most holographic duplex to date.
The accumulative result is a more three dimensional and higher resolution duplex that never sounds strident despite its high resolution.

Synergistic Research Purple Fuse. Beauty is in the eye of the fuse holder.
The new Purple Fuse surpasses our Orange Fuse with technology initially developed for our state-of-the-art SRX Series cables.
In fact, before two last-minute breakthrough SRX technologies, we could not better the Orange Fuse with its impossible combination of detail and rich harmonic musicality.
As a result, we were set to forgo a new fuse introduction for 2022 as we could not build anything better sounding than Orange despite two years of trying.
It was not until we finalized two new technologies, namely a three-stage long duration high voltage conditioning process and a brand new UEF compound featuring Graphene, that we were able to beat the Orange Fuse significantly.
Together these new technologies create a larger soundstage with better image focus and higher resolution from a perceived lowering of the noise floor.
Of all the fuse generations and refinements we have pioneered over the past decade, the new Purple Fuses are by far our best sounding and take the single greatest leap in performance over previous generations.
All aspects of subjective sound quality get enhanced, including natural sound where instruments and vocals sound inherently right, dynamics, low-level detail, high-frequency extension, and smoothness all take a massive leap forward.

Synergistic Research Carbon Fiber Duplex Cover. Science Makes Silence.
In our never-ending quest for the lowest possible noise floor, we tackled the duplex cover with our patented UEF Technology, advanced material science, and dampening to build the ultimate duplex cover.
We started with carbon fiber specially woven to eliminate vibration and added a UEF treatment to dramatically improve the performance of your duplex by shielding EMI and RFI within the duplex cover and then applied a unique closed cell foam for additional vibration control.
The net effect is a lower system noise floor, and this translates into blacker backgrounds with improved microdynamics and increased air and surprisingly, improved overall dynamics in well-balanced systems.
Think of our Carbon Fiber Duplex Cover as the Blue Fuse for your AC at the wall, it’s that impressive.
