Ben Lau, the Totaldac dealer of Hong Kong visited the Totaldac room in Hi Fi Deluxe 2019 :

 

[BF38]

Nice listening, intentions and life in every sound inflection ... I discovered the magico M6 and this new Totaldac Amp-1 and I must admit that this duo made me very strong and real impression! ... much more personally than these same M6 at Msb and Soulution rooms where I found, some form of restraint that hide a large part of musical feeling... less direct and spontaneous.

Thanks to Vincent and his wife for these good times shared
I am even more curious now to listen what this Amp-1 has to offer at home, on my trumpets!

be in music

Hello Vincent,
Congratulations for the very successful debut of your Amp-1 at the Munich Hi-end 2019!

Many visitors opined that the Amp-1 gave the Magico M6 the best performance amongst the three M6 rooms at the Show.

This system will be in another room in Munich HifiDeluxe show, using an embedded Totaldac source and controlled by Roon.

Did anyone listen to this?

Ben Lau, my friend and the Totaldac HK dealer went there for an audition.
He said that it was one of the best sounding horns in the whole Munich 2019.

Thank you! I also visited the two other rooms with M6 to have my own opinion.

 

[Folsom]

It seems like their target audience for the Askja may not be audiophiles, none the less, it makes me curious.

 

[asiufy]

That seems to be a trend now, apparently. Complete systems, going for pretty serious six-figure prices. Munich had a few of those. And I thought I've seen it all...

 

[Folsom]

Yes, but does anyone buy them?

first feedback from AVShowroom about the 3 Totaldac rooms:

"Totaldac and Magico were producing holographic images and musical realism.
Love the M6 Magicos!" Peter Breuninger, AVShowroom (public facebook)
"TotalDac room featuring the Camerton-audio Binom 1 loudspeaker had stunning detail and clarity
with outstanding impact from such a small loudspeaker." Peter Breuninger, AVShowroom (public facebook)
"Askia Audio (embedding a Totaldac DAC) from France had very unique looking loudspeakers and electronics.
The sound was fast and detailed with lots of space and pace." Peter Breuninger, AVShowroom (public facebook)

 

[Audiophile Bill]

Any vids of this from Munich?

 

[totaldac]

He made videos but I think that they are not yet published.

I only heard the original TotalDac 12 and really liked it with Goebbel speakers.

I agree with Herb’s description of the totaldac sound. I love my d1-seven. However, he was missing a digit in the amp-1 price. It’s €19,900 including VAT, not €9900.

 

[totaldac]

Thank you!
The typo is corrected in the article now.

Yes you can open a new thread for the Amp-1, it will be easier.

The d1-streamer is now the reference streamer for Michael Lavorgna.

https://twitteringmachines.com/review-totaldac-d1-streamer/

"The dCS Network Bridge has bested every other streamer I’ve had in-barn by a wide margin
My dCS Network Bridge allows my totaldac d1-seven to speak with great authority, clarity, and beauty.
The totaldac d1-streamer allows the d1-seven to speak with greater humanity.
If the d1-streamer is within your reach, grab it."
