After Munich I see in the future Vienna vs Warsaw: The fight for number one... :cool:
 
Munchen gone end of an era , best show i ve ever been by far
Yes, I will skip Vienna 2026 since it is in the middle of my holidays in spring which I like to spend in Greece...
Maybe then Warsaw, maybe not...the thrill is gone...

Thank you! we're sure the rooms from @Hearken Audio at Toronto Audio Fest will be very welcoming.
Hope you have fun!
BTW - I really liked what I heard with the Galle DAC - Matt @Hearkin Audio was super kind to let me select a couple of "torture tracks" and my goodness, it sounded like analog. This DAC is now top of my short list as next upgrade - I plan on spending more time with it towards the end of the year / Jan of next year.

As long as they do in Warsaw the introduction of the set-ups in Polish and not English it is just a local audio show :cool:

I own the Galle DAC and it is by far the most musically engaging digital device I've ever heard. AND Colin at GestaltAudio.com (@gestalt) is about the nicest person I've met in a 48 year journey through hi-end audio. :) Best, BH
 
We're not just designing DACs... :)

Electroacoustics (loudspeakers) are, ultimately, what drive me. It is the ultimate challenge, on almost everything, from materials, industrial, product and acoustic design, to psychoacoustics. Components to feed them and ultimately achieve a vision could be interpreted as a natural progression for some. Look at Aries Cerat and Stavros, for example. As long as you have a solid understanding of the fundamentals, and the predisposition to iterate and learn, nothing is out of reach. I've had the luck of studying, researching, publishing, teaching and working on areas that map extremely well, and gave me those deep fundamentals.

Of course we do partnerships. The industrial design of the Galle line comes from an architect and a designer couple. Some boards are manufactured for us by specialized partners. Some ideas for parts of the processing stack were provided by PhDs in digital processing. This is not a solo sport, and Cinnamon is surrounded by incredible people.
The Galle II DAC is "burning in/warming up" in my system as of last evening (Thank you, Colin!! @gestalt) My first impression was a slacked jaw, and I am a jaded audiophile in "the game" for 48+ years ;) Best, BH
