THE Show 2012 (at CES) – Evolution Acoustics speakers, darTZeel amplifier, Playback Designs CD player


The little Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne speakers were driven by darTZeel amplifier and preamp with the source being a laptop using the Playback Designs CD / SACD player as the DAC.

I am not familiar with the #2500 speaker market – but did think this sounded better than it did at RMAF 2011, but perhaps that was because it was not being played as loud.


This room was oriented along the long wall, very rare at this show.
