Music Emotion - Well done, Giuseppe!

Despite the incessant flow of usually expensive digital high-end products that pass my listening room regularly to be reviewed, it is often the relatively minor North Star Design, with their very good quality/price ratio, which has provided several times for true sensation in the Ero House.
In addition to the reliable, trouble-free functioning and the no-nonsense design with well-dosed Italian magnificence, this mainly refers to the sound of Northstar. If I have to describe the digital products of NSD in a few words, I would say: fluent, engaging, lightly, open and transparent with refined dynamic gradations embedded in an above-average layered 3D stage...

Music Emotion - Completering van een trentsetter.

The italian North Star Design has always been a master in presenting the right product at the right time and with the Essensio Plus Dac they did it again.
The Essensio Plus is an excellent high-end converter with a sound quality far beyond his price-class combined with a very usefull pre-amp function and headphone-amplifier.
