World premiere – September 25, 2015.
“The privileged first owners of the DMT3.7 transport/streamer player were invited at JMF Audio; first to contemplate their jewel being manufactured and second to discover the sound of the final version which has somehow become magical since the prototype presented in Munich at Hifideluxe. The listening session started with CD / SACD / Blu-ray Audio discs and later shifted to dematerialized music from a USB drive and a NAS (network). Finally HD videos of concerts were played from Blu-ray Video discs as well as streamed from the NAS.
We opened the day with the Violin Concertos of Tchaïkovsky performed by Anne-Sophie Mutter and the Wiener Philharmoniker conducted by André Previn (DG 2004). All types of music of all periods were played, as diverse as the audiophile reference Cantate Dominino (Proprius 1976) on SACD which was more astonishing than ever, the surprising Americana (Sono Luminus 2012) and the epic Magnificat (2L 2014) both on Blu-ray Pure Audio discs. Eric Bibb (blues), Melody Gardot, Anouar Brahem with John Surnam, Edward Perraud with Benoit Delbecq (drums/piano) and many others played one after the other with charm and ease which proved again the great and envied universality that the JMF Audio products provide.
The music is so natural, full and detailed that it absolutely transcends the format and the media. Anyhow discs tend to provide a more immersive and holographic rendering, this is JMF Audio’s DMT3.7 magic!
Friendly discussions among passionate JMF Audio customers, musical delights, it was a wonderful day in good company.”
