Digital To Analog Converters“Music by its very nature is an analogue signal borne from mechanical vibration, whether it is the vocal cord of a vocalist, string of a guitar or the skin of a drum. It is a time continuum from start to end which when broken is irreparably damaged and no amount of clever manipulation of the circuit design can restore it to its original time / frequency / amplitude duration relationship, regardless what the prevailing dogma is."

SW1X LPU-I Phono Stage Listening Test SW1X DAC III Balanced & SW1X PRE IIIThe combination of the SW!X DAC III Balanced with the SW1X PRE III Preamplifier has forever erased for me the question of whether digital or analog is superior. The deep sonic satisfaction that come with both delivering on the promise of SW1X is fairly staggering.

"In order to reproduce music at its best possible glory, we believe that it is only possible when the circuit design is a) elegantly minimal, b) consist of highest quality components and c) everything is harmonically matched. Just like the AN M3, the SW1X LPU II employs a classic 2 gain stage pentode input design. Similar circuit designs were used to master vinyl and analogue tapes in the 50s. SW1X LPU I and LPU II are not just an interpretation of the classic circuit design but rather a re-incarnation of the classic design with further improvements in its implementation."
