What was the best (most impactful) piece of new equipment to hit the market in 2023?


A challenge for any firm producing equipment is to come up with a "new version" to keep the sales pipeline moving.   But many times these are just marketing hype.   So what have you seen that is truly an improvement?

For value as well as sound quality The T+A 200 dac+ very good  active preamp 

galvanic isolation throughout .at our audio-get togethers this retails for  $7200

but can get a bit less ,stacked up vs dacs even at $15 k  bettered them 

as far as overall detail musicality and balance ,even vs dacs like Mola Mola ,Latest Denafrips terminator + 12 th, Holo springs May dac 

Chord David,Lampizator Golden gate , even vied the $18k  DCS which may have a bit more razor sharp leading edge precision , the dac 200 even has HQ player built in and several dithering settings ,Roon has HQ player built in , and even Innuos let’s you use it ,it’s a great program to Taylor your sound even more if you choose to ,but the dac 200 has that you are there natural presentation ,and it’s not just me , 8 others now that heard it bought it just in the north east that I have corresponded with ,I will be #9 i after the holidays , I am still saving ,check out the reviews ,and some places will allow a demo . Happy Holidays 🤶 🎄 🎅.
