Our design philosophy is built on solid technical foundations and proven engineering, demonstrated through measurements. While perceived audio quality is subjective, we firmly believe well-defined measurements are the cornerstone of any design. Together with comprehensive documentation, measurements provide an objective means of communicating our results to the world.

We use high-quality components but reserve exotic audiophile parts for cases where there’s a compelling reason. In fact, we consider printed circuit boards (PCBs) among the most crucial components. Due to availability, cost, size and overall performance, most components are surface-mount devices (SMDs).

For now, our designs are semi-open with schematics available. This approach facilitates learning and makes modifications straightforward, allowing users to adapt circuits to their own experiments, preferences and philosophies. The modular design also extends board lifespan by making them easy to repair and modify.
