@ Munich High-End 2014 perhaps?
It was a limited edition model 'Concert X' including a horn loaded open baffle midrange section with air flow duct and bass face plug.
Somewhat similar to the Western Electric Mirrophonic and G.I.P. 9700A.
A few more pics.:

A few years ago, the show system was offered for sale for about 35k €.
Potential drawback: subs are required.
I assume (perhaps wrongly) that most of those in this forum have yet to hear the Cinnamon Galle DAC. I just had the opportunity to listen to it over three days in a top-flight system that I know well. I have listened to many high-end digital set-ups priced at multiple times the cost of the Galle, and have been largely unmoved emotionally over time in contrast to outstanding analog front-ends. I was stopped in my tracks by the nuance, body, and presence: it created music that touched me deeply (and no, it isn't colored). Anyway, with zero link to the boutique manufacturer, I urge fellow forum members to audition.It's a possibility, lets see if the right opportunity arises![]()
Do they have their own R2R implementation or do they use some OEM modules?About $12,000.
@RCanelasI urge fellow forum members to audition.
It can be done in two days if you focus on the exhibitors in the atriums and these with the big rooms on the ground floor.Given this, and since it is one of the biggest (if not the) biggest show in the world, is it too much for a regular guy to try and do in two days?
Just for clarification:Sigh, that’s what I was afraid of. Thanks.

I agree with Miguel.I know Miguel quite well, he and the guys at Ultimate Audio in Lisbon Portugal, he got me on my audiophile journey in earnest, and I will be forever grateful, he has a great ear, presently he carries Aqua, Wadax, Playback and Lampizator Dac's, so for him to say the Galle a great Dac is indeed high praise, and it's good to see another Portuguese manufacturer join the Audiophile community....
Approximate translation from Portuguese :
It's no secret that I love Cinnamon Audio!
A very well kept secret of European Audio.
It comes from a country with little pedigree on the international audiophile scene but this brand is here to win abroad too!
My recommendation is no longer enough… It's simply the dac you need to listen to now!
Coming from him it's indeed "High Praise"......
