The Polish company Acuhorn introduces the Lusso DAC, featuring a 1-bit discrete design with tube-based output for enhanced audio performance.

Utilizes DSD conversion with options for external software or integrated 32-bit Asahi Kasei AK4137 hardware, achieving dynamic range of 186 dB.

Supports USB and S/PDIF inputs, handling PCM up to 384 kHz (USB) and 192 kHz (S/PDIF) alongside DSD formats.

Saros Audio Europa, a debut headphone amplifier by Saros Audio Systems, showcases precision engineering inspired by astronomical cycles.

Utilizing fully differential topology, the amplifier maintains balanced signal paths for enhanced audio fidelity and noise reduction.

Key components include Lundahl transformers, 6922 and 6H30P vacuum tubes, and Mundorf capacitors ensuring optimal performance.

Saros Audio Systems Europa debuts as a fully differential tube headphone amplifier and preamplifier, priced at $8,495, hand-built in Cary, NC.

Features include a five-tube design (6922, 6H30P, 6BW4) and five Lundahl transformers for a true differential signal path.

Offers extensive connectivity: XLR Balanced and RCA inputs, XLR Balanced, RCA outputs, and diverse headphone output options (XLR, TRRRS, 6.3mm).

The Lumin X2 streamer features an innovative, self-designed DAC architecture utilizing discrete multibit FPGA circuits for precise digital-to-analog conversion.

Dual mono configuration with independent FPGA processors ensures high channel separation and reduced quantization noise for superior audio performance.

Advanced signal processing technology up-samples audio to megahertz frequencies, enhancing signal-to-noise ratio and offering exceptional sound quality.
