Feature special for July: Aqua Acoustic Quality
     
 


Aqua Acoustic Quality is in their second year as a What's Best Forum sponsor. They have carved a very respectable place in high end audio, majoring on superb sounding Digital to Analogue Converters, Music Server and CD Player.

Some words from Aqua:
"Aqua acoustic quality continues to focus solely on designing products that achieve true high fidelity, we will not be distracted by fashionable whims of the marketplace. Cristian Anelli and his team are dedicated to research with creative thinking, the R&D Department has brought forth a range of innovation whose aim is to recreate the experience of live music in your home."

"We are very proud of our new HQ Player Core + NAA (cascade-module). The goal was to create an Audio Engine for Roon with zero set-up. The Core exploits the new i.MX8 micro (ARM 64bit), with its incredible performance, low‑latency, and revolutionary power efficiency. And a customized lightweight kernel (UNIX-based). This ambitious vision was achieved with extreme Sound Quality and simple set-up."

 
     
     
 

“In my opinion, the Aqua LinQ is nothing less than a milestone product. It is the absolute best network endpoint that I have heard, and I enthusiastically recommend an audition.”
Christiaan Punter | HFA Hifi-Advice

The reference Formula xHD Rev. 2 continues to impress owners and reviewers!
"I was taken by its sense of presence, its presentation of detail without being "analytical" or cold, and its ability to handle huge swings in dynamics. The no filtering/no oversampling plus FPGA is showing itself to be a powerfully credible approach to digital sound reproduction…I'm very impressed."
Dr. David W. Robinson | Editor-in-Chief Positive Feedback

“It is revealing without being trying, lush but not bloomy, and above all capable of captivating musical sound. MAGICAL EXPERIENCE . It’s simply magnificent."

Supra Hifi is in their second year as a What's Best Forum sponsor. They are a premier high end audio dealer based in Texas USA, run by Scott Warren, and carry Wadax, Gryphon, Constellation, Artesania, Vivid to name few.

Some words from Scott:
"Like you, we are music lovers and audiophiles. We have had a passion for music and its reproduction for over 30 years. Music is how we de-stress and find solace in turning out the lights and listening to music -- true therapy. Supra HiFi is what is called a “boutique”. That simply means that our showroom is located in a home environment."

"We currently live in a time where brick and mortar stores are becoming extinct, making it not only harder to audition equipment you are interested in, but more importantly finding a dealer who is willing to invest the time in you and your system. We are dedicated to customer service with an obsessive attention to detail, truly wanting our customers to be happy with each step in their system toward a lifelike music reproduction at home."

"While we can sell you a single piece of equipment, we love building relationships with our customers and helping them achieve their goals. We offer a low pressure environment and are happy to set up a time with customers, to discuss where they want to go with their systems. Give us a call and we can talk about your audio needs."
