So, one day, a big box landed on my home. A 23kg box! Wow? What's inside?
IsoTek EV03 Premierx2
Gloss Black/Blue (so cyber~)
^^AV products with lower noise level
It's KEF LS50 Wireless! Bravo! The "active" version of renowned KEF LS50 with 4 Wolfson WM8740E DAC (two on one side)(side-note: 24bit 192khz playback, no native DSD playback supported, to play a DSD file, you need to convert DSD to PCM format(i.e. software decoding)See below:
Windows: usb dac- foobar2000;
MacOS: usb dac- Audirvana Plus;
Android: dlna playback-local music: Neutron Music Player, cloud music(Qobuz or Tidal): BubbleUPnP),
AMP and DSP, wifi(2.4g and 5g), bluetooth, RCA input, Toslink input, USB type B port......etc, all these new hardware and software with just HKD$10000 more (less than USD$1300)
Mysterious!
The Ports(Back of the right KEF LS50 Wireless)
The uni-q driver is so sexy!
So, you know the speaker requires more than 500 hours of burn-in time(the uni-q driver, dac and amp). So, how do I "skip" the burn-in time and enjoy the great music?
I pair the KEF LS50 Wireless with my cheap but great DAC and AMP:
Chord Mojo
Nobsound MS-10D Mkii]Nobsound MS-10D Mkii (with Russian 6H1n tubes and Russian 6n1n-EB tubes)
Cable: 1. Labkable Acoustic Revive PC-triple C 3.5mm male to RCA male
2. Moon Audio Silver Dragon USB cable (will use)
Both of them are of high CP values.(Well, I am so poor that I cannot buy a desktop DAC or desktop pre-AMP or desktop AMP or desktop integrated AMP)
No extra money to buy a SACD player or CD player......so I use my old blu-ray player
Another angle of the speaker. Oh, the uni-q driver is so handsome!
Aux input
Optical Toslink input
USB input
Wifi(use it with "LS50 Wireless" app, with this app, you can configure speaker distance from edge of the desk, distance from the speaker to the wall, level of bass extension,.etc. Thus, you can tailor-make your KEF sound!)(Again, android-dlna playback:local music: Neutron Music Player, cloud music(Qobuz or Tidal): BubbleUPnP))
Bluetooth aptx (There is no aptx HD codec with this speaker. This is a flagship bookshelf speaker, right? Hope KEF adds aptx HD or LDAC in the next generation LS50.)
Getting ready
<<U87>> from Eason Chan (Cantonese, 2005) - Recommended by Time Magazine as one of the five best Asian albums worth buying<<<<<<<A must buy sacd, even if you don't understand Cantonese at all!
A good album from Faye Wong
The big picture
One more sexy picture of
