Don’t miss our MAN301 Network Player playing at the Munich High-end show, starting coming Thursday.Meet us in Atrium 4, Room E109. More information here: http://www.highendsociety.de/english/highend/highend.php
Our Japan Nagoya office AZ Audio has setup a Weiss listening event with Tokyo U-Audio HiFi Shop. We also take this opportunity to preview the latest Weiss MAN301 server. Thank you so for the support and partnership, the event was successfully finished and all pre-ordered units are going to deliver as soon as possible.
The MAN301 docs are now on the website (Downloads). Here are the links:

For all the fans and potential customers who have pre-ordered the MAN301, we are delight to share the good news that Daniel and the team have been worked so hard to get it done. We expect the shipping date will be on the first day of Munich Highend Show. Thank you all for the waiting and I am sure the wait is well worth.
The company whose 3D software we use for construction has put the MAN301 on their website:

Aurender S10 review in Thailand
It was December 2011 when HiFi News published a review on Aurender S10 Hard disk music server.

The Miller Research Lab has a full measurement report, which draws quite an interest. All customers who bought one reported that they never think digital hard disk server can sound such excellent. Thank you for their comments.
Unity Audio Boulder new amplifier module has been arrived. This also indicates the Boulder has reached golden version. The new amplifiers provides almost double headroom, higher SPL and sounds better.
Kevin Walker from Unity Audio has also finished The Boulder Manual which must attract a lot of potential user.
The following is the measurement and matching of The Boulder, obviously it is one excellent and accurate monitor.
The next active professional monitor following on from the The Rock, is the new Boulder. This shares some of the same interesting material and designs such as a Baltic Birch plywood cabinet but this time 18mm instead of 12mm as used in The Rock. A Corian front baffle is used again like The Rock and bonded to an internal wooden baffle, but the Boulder uses a huge 30mm slab of Corian instead of The Rocks 12mm and with large radius edges to reduce reflection. Like The Rock, this new model will boost true fidelity, fast, accurate detailed sound but withextended bass response, even more detailed mid range and higher SPL’s for larger rooms.
Two 180mm (7” ) woofers are used, the same woofer model as in The Rock, this will increase low frequency extension and achieve higher SPL’s. Each woofer has a 0.2mm aluminium foil chemically bonded to a rigid pulp fibre cone. This reduces harmonic anomalies and permits +/- 15mm of woofer travel producing accurate low bass frequencies. The use of Aluminium bound to a pulp fibre cone insures that the woofer cone will remain symmetrical at all frequencies, producing a long life for the woofer element and full accuracy of the driver through its life. Something few other materials can claim.

A new dual coaxial Midrange – Tweeter is employed, another unique feature of The Boulder. This new unit is a unique combination of a flat aluminium honeycomb midrange ring radiator and a concentrically arranged folded ribbon tweeter. This design realizes the vision of an acoustic point source! This facilitates an optimized acoustic power response and results in a homogeneous and very wide sound dispersion angle which provides for a new kind of relaxed but very precise reproduction.
Comparison between the 3D radiation patterns of a conventionally designed midrange-tweeter combination (left) and of the Boulder’s coaxial midrange-tweeter system at the crossover frequency.
The ultra lightweight honeycomb diaphragm provides a reduced stray magnetic field combined with a strong neodymium drive. The system is driven by a 78mm moving coil. High efficiency is achieved using coppered aluminium flat wire, edgewise-wound, on a ventilated capton bobbin. The resulting unit will deal with frequencies from 450Hz to 50kHz.
The amplifier is a bespoke design by Tim de Paravicini whose company Esoteric Audio Research is regarded as one of the worlds best amplifier designers. Due to the modular design of The Rock amplifier, The Boulder uses the same amplifier modules from the Rock but it employs a total of four amplifier cards per cabinet, one for each woofer, one for the mid and one for the tweeter. A design is a true discrete bi-polar low feedback amplifier with custom wound transformers and dedicated LF, Mid, HF sections with overload/clip protection, will results in very fast and clean, and astoundingly accurate reproduction.
Viard Audio Cable becomes one of the fastest growing brands under our roof. A lot of people are attracted not only the superb sound quality, and also the appealing modern external outlook. We hired a professional photographer/designer to give them a new style sheet. The high-end Silver HD Power 20 and Silver HD Speaker 20 are started shipping.
In order to celebrate our eShop anniversary, we will be start offering sales prices under our own eShop from next week (Week 15, 2012). Contact us for more details.
If you live in Hong Kong, another good news for you all audiophiles. We will start the FREE TRAIL services from next week.(Week 15, 2012).
The execution will be as simple as possible: You paid the deposit of the cable and take them home to try on your systems for few days. You bring the cable back in good conditions, we refund your deposit.
We think this will provide higher customer satisfaction, especially on cables, which work on some systems but not all. Contact us today to book this new service.
In Dreamroom HK, we are in heaven of 3 active speaker models.
1) Swiss Made Klangwerk Ella floor standing loudspeaker.
It is one of the most neutral sounding speakers I have ever heard. The soundstage and 3D presentation is best I can find in the market. Even very complex type of music, Ella can represent in an elegance way and still be able to hear all the details without coloration.
2) UK Unity Audio Black Rock bookshelf monitor
Our best selling bookshelf monitor. We are using this monitor for our own in house production. The same model is being used in UK Metropolis Mastering, and more UK big producers/engineers are using Rock as near field. Elac JET tweeter goes up to 50kHz, and the 180mm Elac woofer provides controllable bass response in a sealed corian/wood cabinet. Active crossover and Discrete Class A/B Bi-amp makes Black Rock one of the unique active speakers in the market. I mostly like its piano playback in low volume, very stunning realistic presentation.
3) UK Unity Audio Boulder Mid field monitor
The Boulder new amplifier provides almost double SPL and headrooms. It combines the best of both worlds
- Germany Elac X-Jet coaxial tweeter/midrange driver, 2pc x 180mm aluminum woofers in MTM configuration.
- EAR Tim de Paravicini customer designed discrete Class A/B x Active crossover and QUAD amplifiers. The Boulder has extremely wide bandwidth and details, which is excellent for mixing and mastering.
Come to DreamRoom and hear them~!!
