NR-One CD player

NR22 CD player

Ultra high performance w/"mini-version" of NR22 DAC

"The Neodio NR22 was one of those sources that could equally appeal to audiophiles as to music lovers, which is actually not that common."

"A word on the USB input, which is activated via a small key located right next to the rear. The Neodio offers a remarkable reproduction quality on the files stored on my Mac to WAV 16-bit - 44.1 kHz. Even better, for example, that I had obtained from the (32-bit) Esoteric SA-50" .

"Without fluff or fanfare, but with delicacy and transparency, Neodio makes all the difference due to unusual sensitivity justifies, to my ears, its high price, especially when compared to some machines Japanese or American or equivalent price higher tend to do more than his music. A true source of reference, therefore, is paid when the luxury to be French!"

"From the first seconds of listening, one realizes that we are facing a high-end (high performance) system regardless of price. The influence of the electronics is immediately felt by a silent operation for the reproduction and of the tiniest information contained on the disk is accurately read."

"Here, no coloration. Listening is very typical monitor, with great respect of dynamics with a very accurate rendition. It is also immediately struck by the size of the soundstage, very well proportioned and without magnifying effect. The organ of St Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco (Reference Recordings RR-98CD) appears in its full extent, with buffets clearly identifiable, and a 32 foot round hot is accurately returned in its entirety."

NR600 (Standard version)

(100w/ch Integrated Amplifier)

"The NR600 seems to make a point of honor to not affixing any signature sound to signal it is due to expand. Rigorous and pitiless, he performs his work srupuleusement amplification purely homothetic, and will delight Music lovers who abhor most colorations lesser units impose, even flattering colorations on lesser recordings."

"The NR600 is accurate, fast, efficient and never lets himself be diverted from his goal of communicating the emotion of the music. He is capable of impressive feats."

"The advantages of a Class-A amplifier without the inconveniences!"

-L. Thorin (Haute Fidelite - December 2008)

NR-One CD Player

"Listen to how delicately the NR One can highlight every detail of a recording without stressing the upper register nor widen the medium. The fluidity of phrasing, so manifest, recalls indeed the best analog products, as does the energetic and vigorous low frequency range. In addition, CD specifics such as resolution, open soundstage and transparency can still be observed."

"Just like NEODIO amplifiers, the NR One is distinguished by its objectivity, its ability to disappear behind the music. To be on the shadow is not disappear and objectivity does not mean clinical analysis. An astonishing dynamic reserve reminds this. This player has the good taste not to add nor to remove tone colours or tone nuances to the recorded sound. The music is in its original version."

NR22 DAC + Transport:

"The Neodio 2-box CD player put in an admirable performance. Many notes had an attack almost as dynamic as good analog."

 NR22 DAC:

Industry leaders were supremely impressed listening to their original WAV files direct through NR22 DAC's USB input.

New Neodio distributor:
