Our design philosophy relies on solid technical foundations and good engineering proven by measurements. While perceived audio quality is subjective, we believe well defined measurements are the backbone of any design. Along with good documentation, measurements are also objective way to communicate the results to the world.

We use good quality components but no exotic audiophile parts unless there is solid reasoning for them, and in fact consider PCB as one of the most important components. Most components are SMD due to availability, cost, size, and overall performance of the solution.

At least for now the designs are semi-open with schematics available. It is good for learning and makes modifications easy - to adapt the circuits for your own experiments, taste, and philosophy if you wish. Along with modular approach, this hopefully also extends the lifetime of the boards by making them easy to repair and modify.
