PRESS RELEASE FROM PLAYBACK DESIGNS We had a Dream...
Playback Designs has announced their new Dream Series Audio DAC and Transport - SACD/ CD/Server system incorporating the latest Ultra High Performance technology. Early prototypes will be shown at the Axpona show in Chicago and the High End show in Munich. According to Andreas Koch, president and designer of Playback Designs, this system could have been called “Reference” system, but the design goal was actually much higher than that: the lofty and seemingly unattainable performance level that hardly anybody even dares dreaming about. It is the culmination of more than 30 years of experience in audio design. The Dream Series consists of the MPD-8 standalone DAC and MPT-8 transport with CD/SACD drive and optional music server built in.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY The from-ground-up new architecture is the result of multiple prototype generations over the last 2 years where the experience of digital and analog algorithms and circuit designs from Andreas Koch’s and Bert Gerlach’s expertise refined over many decades has been combined and perfected to create a truly no-compromise, flexible and programmable product platform that can deliver ultimate performance and can grow for many years as technology keeps evolving.
