Our goal is to make music sound as emotional and moving as possible, without limitations, without boundaries. We are driven by the same high ending demanding like aficionados of vinyl insist to be attributed to this analog medium exclusively, but at a level of what is technically feasible today. That’s why we are better than the vinyl record in all disciplines. There is nothing better to hear music.

Innovative & Pioneering

Innovative & Pioneering

In early 2009, we have initiated and created a unique and new tier in the music industry for discerning listeners that demand truly the best possible sound reproduction from a non-physical medium. We were successful in positioning ourselves in a hitherto unoccupied niche in the music industry. Over the years, contrary to the trend in the music industry, we have demonstrated that there is a market and audience for a media-free digital product away from Apple & Co. For the manufacturers of audio equipment, inflamed by our initiative and our business model, a new and exciting market emerged to develop and manufacture new audio products. The readiness of these manufacturers opened the way for us from the niche into the mainstream market. There, our innovative business model now bears the most beautiful fruit for discerning listeners.
