Some time ago, Marantz introduced the ND8006 to the world. It is the first all-rounder network CD player from the Japanese company. An obligatory feature is of course the CD playback and streaming from network and Internet - of course in high resolution. Since the all-rounder has some other highlights in its luggage, there is a brief overview and a few first impressions.
Virla Gottschlich mostly has his head in the clouds, and for that reason, we were very glad to bring him into our studio to turn covert one of ceilings of Our HiFi Studio with his masterwork into a peek into the heavens!
Among HiFi enthusiasts, the audiophile HiFi systems that NAD Electronics launches have always been known as classics. Under this premise, the Canadians have now created a wonderful series, which ties in with the unmistakable devices and is ideally suited to build a stereo system from great components.
Finally, the time has come: In early April Cambridge Audio announced an update that upgrades its network players from the past five years with Tidal. Specifically, this refers to the following devices: Stream Magic 6 V2, CXN or CX N V2, CX R120 or CX R200 and the Azur 851N. The big advantage of this is that now more than forty million songs can be played on the models. With the premium version of Tidal you can stream with the standard quality and with Tidal HiFi you can play high fidelity CD sound quality. Tidal is, therefore, an ideal complement to the existing Spotify integration. As a bonus, playlists of other streaming services can also be moved to Tidal if required.
While many HiFi developers build on tradition and create wired speakers, the Danish loudspeaker manufacturer Dali, founded in 1983, uses CALLISTO on a modern, wireless system. Thanks to a Sound Hub, this works perfectly. The music system excelled at the IFA 2017.

Although some people are a bit shy about the use of tubes, they have already moved into music rooms far and wide. Often thanks to the German audio company Cayin Audio Distribution GmbH, which is known for its distinctive tube amplifiers. They are not just visually striking, they also impress on the tonal level. This is exemplified in the CS-845A.
After recently reporting on the two new SVS subwoofers, we took the opportunity to capture the smaller SB-4000 in full glory. The SB weighs approximately 46 kg and measures 46.5 (H) x 45.3 (W) x 53.0 (D) cm. In the pictures, however, it becomes clear that despite this mass he can fit in wonderfully in a home cinema or music room.
The quality of the sound reproduction of records depends on the individual elements of the reproduction, ie the music components. The phono pre-amplification plays an important role. Already the models CP1 and CP2 from Cambridge Audio had rightly a very good reputation when it came to vinyl playback. Now Cambridge Audio has released two brand-new phono preamps with the sequels, which ensure a faithful vinyl reproduction and the sound in the best quality. For this special switching power supplies and board, designs were used.
