HI All,

I hope everyone had a great Christmas, I just thought that I would quickly update this with my listening impressions of DAVE after spending hours listening over Christmas with an Aurender as a source through the Stax SR-009s's, needless to say we got on very well and DAVE is most definitely one of my favourite Christmas guests who is welcome anytime :-)

Firstly it was a great to have time over Christmas to have a proper listen, as a big Stax and Chord DAC fan I knew it would be good but I have to say it has to be the most natural sound I have ever heard over a headphone rig and most definitely the best I have ever heard the Stax SR-009′s.

One session I started listening at 9pm, finally urned it off at midnight, went to bed, couldn’t sleep as I kept thinking of more songs I couldn’t wait to listen to so got back up and carried on listening till 3am, it was certainly a very addictive system :-) The only problem is that I am struggling to put into words what made it such a fantastic listen, as you would expect DAVE certainly extracted all the information out of the recordings and also gave great width to the SR-009′s but I think it is the effortless nature that it presents the music that makes it hard to put into words, it just sounds right, natural, organic and very engrossing, I really would struggle for anyone to not be impressed, I know the SR-009′s are not for everyone as they are very open, airy but don’t have the most powerful bass but with DAVE at the heart of it everything just sounded so together, see I’m struggling again :-)

I can’t wait for the magazines to start reviewing DAVE to see how they describe it as I’m sure they will do a better job than me, I still think the the Hugo TT is the sweet spot in the Chord DAC range as you get a serious amount of performance for the money but DAVE just brings a more refined sound that really is quite infectious and once you’ve heard it there really is no going back.

Not a cheap system by any stretch of the imagination at around £16,000 but when I consider the level of sound quality and enjoyment it bought it is almost a bargain in highend audio terms.

Happy New Year everyone :-)

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi All,

Nous l’attendions avec impatience depuis son annonce et sa présentation en avant première lors du dernier salon de Munich. Nous avons enfin reçu le tout nouveau amplificateur intégré numérique Aurender X725.

Il se présente sous un coffret ultra compact style boite de chaussure mais assez plat. Coté esthétique et encombrement, c’est une vrai réussite.

Très élégant avec sa façade très épurée du plus bel effet avec son bouton de volume en façade.

Une télécommande très discrète et qui reprend toutes les fonctions classiques est fournie, elle tient bien en main. Mais vous pourrez également régler le volume d'écoute via l'application Aurender sur votre iPad.

Pour ce qui est de la connectique, l’Aurender X725 dispose de deux entrées digitales, l’une optique et l’autre USB. Pour ce qui est des borniers d’enceintes, ils sont de belle facture et n’acceptent que des fourches.

Sa puissance de sortie est de 2 x 230 watts sous 4 ohms ce qui lui permet de driver la plupart des enceintes du marché.

Nous avons obtenu d’excellents résultats avec nos minuscules mais oh combien musicales Raidho X1. Un système ultra compact de haute voltige capable de faire rougir des systèmes bien plus imposants.

L’Aurender X725 est très équilibré, sans coloration. Il dispose d’un beau grave et d’une belle tenue malgré sa taille de guêpe. Le médium aigu est neutre et l’aigu file haut sans traînage. L’équipe des ingénieurs a fait du bon boulot.

L’Aurender X725 est en écoute permanente au sein de notre auditorium!

Voici un lien potentiellement très utile à tous les possesseurs d'un Aurender.

Il vous explique comment convertir votre bibliothèque iTunes dans un format compatible avec l'Aurender, comment récupérer les illustrations des pochettes, etc

Un lien utile également pour les possesseurs d'autres serveurs de musique et qui ne se limite pas aux possesseurs d'un Aurender.
