Yes, they plan to offer it as a total system. This is along the same lines as the far more expensive Sennheiser HE-1. But that said, I was curious about flexibility and was pleased to learn that while you can use the builtin DAC via the usual digital inputs, as well as Ethernet (including, if I'm remembering correctly, Roon endpoint support), they also offer SE and balanced analog inputs to support any external DAC. Building on Chris' article, I too was invited to have a listen to this system. What they were displaying was a prototype, so changes are still possible between now and the official launch in Munich. I try to be circumspect when describing what I hear at shows. The true measure of a system or a component can only be made in your own home, integrated with the rest of your system, etc. At best, I look for things that pique my curiosity. With the Aperio, consider my curiosity piqued! I found it extremely resolving, with a sweet treble, and super fast and clean transients. I expect this from high-end eletrostatics. I also heard very tight bass with excellent low-end extension, which is not as common. Caveat: this is on a first listen, so this is not my last word on this headphone system. But in terms of coming away wanting a lot more time with this system - oh yeah! I look forward to getting my hands on a review sample to really put this system through its paces. beautiful music and AudioDoctor 2 My Audio Setup Link to comment
