I listened JAVA HiFI Carbon double shot Integrated amplifier in the Warszaw AV show.
It was brilliant, the best class D I have ever listened.
Simply I thought I could not return nCore and Purifi
and have to try other GaN FET amplifiers too.
They were carried in some magazines, but only in Japanese.

Ause has a trial programme. If you want to try their amps, ask by email. I would help if a language barrier in your correspondence.

I never have listened such speaker. It has an unique advantage with elimination of divided vibration tatally,
combined clarity and softness.

Ause Audio will launch a new product, NU-DDC in 3Q or 4Q of 2023, on behalf of Digital Reconstrictor.
"NU" means Network and USB. The expected price would be around 1,000 USD.

New 10cm DSS diaphragm full range system is planned to be launched from Satsuma Shimadzu next spring.
I participated in a small event that introduces the trial version of this new 10cm unit today.
Of course this 10 cm DSS unit inherits all advantages of the 6cm DSS unit as I posted the...
Mr. Shimadzu, CEO of Satsuma Shimadzu which was launched as a new company, descrived his key idea of DSS diaphragm on his blog.
I think this technology really has never seen before, will be a game changer and new paradigm of speaker history.
He wrote in preface.

The latest information of Ause's AK4499EX DAC from their blog:
New DAC is also under development. However, the main issue at the moment is not the DAC section using DAC chips, but the prototype verification of the front-end digital section. We can only give you a limited information at the...
I got the plan of AUSE Audio new power amplifiers, with NC1200 and 1ET7040SA, will be launched soon.
About 1ET7040SA version from their website:
"The design policy has resolved the shortcomings of the previous module, thus further enhancing the accuracy of the high frequencies, sound rise and...
It would be second half of 2023. AK4499EX has not been launched yet.
I guess the price would be 4k to 5k USD.
Currently parts supply is quite bad. Mr. Tsukioka ordered some parts to build DAC in January. Delivery will be in September!
Unrotunately it is not sure when AUSE's Digital Reconstructor will be launched due to recent luck of electric parts and devices.
However I got their latest plan for new DACs:
1. AK4499EX DAC
Simple, single-function, classic high-end DAC performance-oriented,
discrete outputs, optimisation...
Mr. Tsukioka describes his idea:
What attracted our attention to 1ET7040SA was not the novelty of this module, but the increased number of GND pins, which strengthens the GND coupling of the board. 1ET400A did not solve this problem and we only had a prototype. It has the same problem as NC500...
Hello everyone.
I listened the new Ause Audio's 1ET7040SA power aplifier.
I was really surprised, thought the other new wave of class D has come.
The sound should be called "the high-fidelity", I have not known real high-fidelity
in many auditons and shows I have ever had.
It sounds not only...
I listened Shimadzu Model-1, new 6cm DSS Diaphragm full range system today.
They sound better than previous model 'Dolphin',
especially acoustic tonality and improved bass.
Of course advantage of DSS Diaphragm, very high resolution, clearness
and good separation of each instrument is kept.
I...
