Last year I’ve reported on the state of the art Abendrot Audio STUT Rubidium Audio Clock. I’ve been just updated by the Ryuji Seto on the addition to the Abendrot Audio product range. The all NEW HENGST DAC ($36,000,00) was designed as a perfect match to the STUT clock. More info…
Abendrot Audio proudly announces the release of HENGST, a brand new D/A converter born after three years of intense development. HENGST has been created with the sole purpose of reproducing the purest audio sound possible.
The STUTE audio clock, highly acclaimed by audiophiles and audio professionals alike, provides the ultimately pure 10MHz external clock signal to the HENGST D/A converter which is designed to fully utilise this 10MHz signal and maintain maximum audio conversion quality. By completely separating the digital audio and clock signals sent from the AES/EBU SPDIF input, HENGST realises the conversion of pure digital audio to analog audio in conjunction with the almost-perfect clock signal generated by STUTE.
HENGST has been developed as the ultimate device for sound aiming for nothing less than perfection. The supreme mechanisms of HENGST are gauranteed to heighten your emotions through every moment of the ‘sound’ experience, from the fraction of silence right before the sound pours out into the air, all the way up to to the moment the rich and dynamic sound vanishes back into complete silence. HENGST materialises the subtlest of sound reproduction and its vast sound field produces sound clear enough to make you feel as if the artist was singing or playing his instrument right there in front of you. We strongly believe that we have been able to realise the genuine sound quality of high-end analog reproduction devices through our high precision digital audio technology.
With strong self confidence, we present HENGST, the only truly genuine D/A converter in the market, as an attractive product that challenges the technological boundaries of audio reproduction. HENGST redefines the pinnacle of audio reference, and is certain to bring new discoveries and add rich emotion to your digital music collection.
