Report from Munich, High-End Audio 2015 Part II
Report from Munich, High-End Audio 2015 Part II – by a young German audiophile
[photo from Stereophile – Munich High End Beckons]
“Recap thus far (written under the influence of German beer):
Lessons learned:1. FM Acoustics sounds horrid2. Dave Cope is a nice guy who knows his stuff3. Audio Note hires Croatians that know how to turn digital sausage Into music4. FM acoustic sounds horrid5. Mario from Audio Note is going to DJ at my wedding6. Audio Note’s new DAC uses parts from the Apollo Rocket and turns music into digital sausage (and vice versa)7. I love this stuff!”

I think Vox Olympian and the Voxative speakers along with the AN-E would all sound more natural than most of the others. It will be interesting to hear your comments on the Vox and Voxative. Was the new version of the Audionote actually working and how did it sound compared to the DAC 5th Element you had. Would be great to hear. There is a great “Trader’s Vick’s” Restaurant in town located underground in town with terrific food.
Hi Earl,
We asked our young German friend about the Voxativ, but apparently he did not make it by that exhibit. Agree that it would have been great to hear them [as well as the new AN DAC! No, don’t even know if it was being demoed. Our friend spent 3 hours in the Audio Note room, there but no photos. Doh!].
Take care,
-Mike
