Welcome to the most significant audio breakthrough since digital conversion. Delivering noise, linearity, and dynamic range performance so advanced that modern test equipment cannot measure it. Imersiv HDR-A is a revolutionary new multiple-path audio architecture, poised to fully re-imagine the way we capture and deliver sound, from microphone to power amplifier, and everything in-between.
Untethered headroom
HDR-A technology allows us to boost high-path headroom to any level without affecting our quiescent self-noise. The D-1 provides +22dBu (10 volts) of ISO-free* headroom while maintaining its profoundly low 40nV self-noise floor. This results in a true broadband, unweighted linearity and dynamic range of 28 bits or 168dB. (*inter-sample overs or peaks)

ONIX XMT20 is the latest piece to the ONIX Zenith line and the first device featuring ournewly developed Linux streaming platform, optimized for simplified and faster controls, putting higher emphasis on the remote operations thanks to the full integration of Tidal Connect, QOBUZ Connect and ROON Ready Certification.
USB port and SSD slot are prepared for gapless local playback of all types of Hi-Res files, with the Eddict Controller app for Android / iOS acting as the playback controller. And the industry standard support of DLNA and Airplay 2 will take care of any other playback scenarios.
Zenith XST20 represents the beginning of a new product line, soon featuring a trio of matching desktop components and focusing on the High-End market. XST20 comes as the first one in line, serving as the traditional SACD / CD transport for the setup. It will soon be paired with a top-of-the-line DAC and later joined by a Linux-Based Streamer Transport.
SACD with True DSD Output
Designed to unlock the full potential of SACD discs, Zenith XST20 offers a unique option to play any SACD in its true DSD quality to any external DAC with DSD capabilities. Utilizing either I2S connection for full native DSD64 or DSD64 DoP over the Coaxial / Optical / AES / BNC.
Combining our unique SACD reading capabilities with the 2nd generation of R2R DAC and adding in a classic tube audio output, representing the Ultimate Level of Audio Source for the most demanding Hi-Fi setups!
Continuing our popular line of CD transports, the new Shanling CT90 bring in further optimization for the enhanced sound quality, streamlined Hi-Fi focused approach and improved construction with a new top-loading design.

While Overture XM5 offered the unique ONIX design and pure music platform, Waltz XM10 was setting trends with its compact dimensions. Tocata XM2 now merges both of these design approaches into an affordable and practical Music player, bringing the unmistakable ONIX quality to a new level of compactness.
Switch 1: Select shield reference (input or output), allowing users to define the grounding reference point to optimize noise suppression and system stability
Switch 2: Select isolation level (loose or full), enabling users to adjust the degree of signal separation for tailored performance in diverse audio environments

Shanling M1 Plus. A cheaper and smaller sibling to the M5 Ultra.
Sandwiched into a compact body made of aluminium and glass, adapting the bolder modern design revealed with M5 Ultra and measuring just 86 x 61 x 17mm at only 116 grams. With 3.2-inch screen for ideal balance between touch screen controls and compact size for daily use.
Pair of top-of-the-line Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs provide exquisitely clean sound, while still providing our unique sound tuning. Running in a fully balanced setup, feeding two dedicated SGM8262 headphone amplifiers, offering up to 500 mW @ 32 Ohm output power. Making ONIX XI1 into a truly powerful tiny beast, driving anything from sensitive IEMs to demanding full-size Planars.
The new Wilson Acoustic Diode isn’t an optional device; it’s an essential one. It dramatically lowers the noise floor, both boosting dynamics and revealing previously obscured musical details.
As I wrap up this review, I have 14 Wilson Pedestals in use in my system. I don’t plan on removing any of them. I purchased all of the review samples that Wilson provided me.
