Digital Audio Player Pairings
Pairing with the Sony NW-WM1Z Walkman
Not only do these 2 look like they were made for each other but when paired with the Sony Walkman Flagship audio player you get an organic natural full bodied signature with dynamic resolution. When using balanced 4.4m output the detail is even more resolving and this pairing works very well.
Pairing with Astell & Kern AK380 Copper With Amp
Using the amped power of one of the best looking designed players around you get an impactful strong signature, with airy large staging aspects, precise micro detail and extended treble extension.
Pairing with Chord Electronic Hugo 2 DAC
Chord Electronics flagship portable Dac, the Hugo 2 delivers a smooth signature with an exceptional energetic blend of detail and richness of mids especially on higher resolution mastered tracks.
The Campfire Audio Solaris paired well with all the DAPs/DACs we tried but felt there was a special preferred synergy with the Sony NW-WM1Z
