Antipodes Audio - K22 G4


I’m interested in consolidating my 2 box Innuos PhoenixUSB/ ZENith mk3 into one unit. That and an upgrade in sound quality will be a welcome bonus.

I am after a good synergy with my Chord DAVE/ NAIM NAC332 / NPX 300 PSU and active ATC 100’s.

I cannot demo the K22, so any advice on this possible upgrade will be welcome. I’d like a fast, dynamic, detailed but also balanced sound.

Hello, I just received my K22 last week. I was using a LUMIN T2 reclocked via a Mutec MC3+USB and into my DAC. Plus I was using an external Roon core (SGC i5 sonic transporter). All three boxes were replaced by the K22.

The K22 had been run in continuously for 2 weeks by the dealer and, as soon as I listened to the first track, I knew I had made the right decision.

Chief listening notes: more quiet than you can even imagine. Just dead quiet. The bass is more audible but in no way overpowering. It is fast! There is absolutely no stray treble that hurts your ears. That is gone. My partner says that the lyrics are clearer. Overall, there is more depth, quiet and presence, very balanced across the spectrum.

And plenty of streamer power.

I was not able to audition either because I live in a rural town with no audio stores and did not want to spend thousands of dollars flying into a larger centre. 

The K22 is a slam dunk. I am very happy.
