Dealer Now Listen Here has two locations—Harrisburg, PA and Falls Church, VA—and they’ll be showing a bevy of new gear at CAF 2024 in two rooms.
I reviewed the EMM Labs DA2 V2 Reference Stereo DAC back in 2022 and the new DA2i DAC promises “increased bandwidth and linearity, lower distortion, and lower noise” according to EMM Labs.
Innuos’ new ZEN NG Music Server is the first product to sit on their new modular/upgrade-able platform that consists of a new PreciseAudio mainboard, Gallium Nitride power supply (called the NGaN RECAP2 PSU), and a real-time kernel operating system.
The Vandersteen Kento Carbons will be in charge of filling the Executive Lounge powered by the Vandersteen M5-HPA monoblocks.
While the quartz clad Acora QRC-2 will be in charge in Suite 319 powered by Ayre.
