This streaming-centered stack unlocks transparent, uncolored performance across digital files and network sources, revealing subtle harmonics and precise timing throughout a track — but it asks you to forgo analog playback entirely and accept a purely digital front end, with no room for a turntable or CD transport.

- Tagged Neutral — the components read as leaning Detail-Forward
Lowest frequency response across the system’s components. Approximate — a component is excluded only when it declares an amplifier wattage without also declaring a sensitivity figure, so an amplifier that happens to report a sensitivity slips through and can pull the reading down.
Speaker sensitivity normalised to 8 ohms. Approximate — we do not record whether a figure was quoted per watt or per 2.83 volts, so a non-8-ohm speaker can be out by up to 3 dB.
