    預設 抵達芝加哥 Chicago

    剛好到美國遇到AXPONA音響展期,因此趁著上周末快閃採訪了一下,AXPONA在芝加哥舉辦,原本以為規模不大,但到了展覽場地後,才發現規模比想像中大的許多,而且人潮還不少。

    本次搭乘美國航空,抵達Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD),展覽的飯店Westin O’Hare就在機場不遠處,到了機場後,可搭飯店的接駁車最為方便,雖然也有地鐵可到飯店,但搭車與下車後都還要走一段路,不是很建議。


    芝加哥機場非常漂亮,採十足的透光設計,這兩天剛好天氣也非常好






    因為搭的是一大早的紅眼班機,早餐就在機場先解決了


    Westin O’Hare算是相當高級的飯店


    先前已先申請了採訪證,到會場直接領就行了,一天的門票USD 25起跳,不是很便宜,另外還有早鳥票有打折、兩天票、三天票、VIP票等等,花樣很多




    會場有許多這樣的折扣宣傳單,AXPONA大都是北美的經銷商參加,因此現場是以買賣為主,且為了刺激買氣,大都都有折扣,相當熱絡的音響展

    拿了展覽的導覽冊,就發現規模不小,分為
    Showcase: 一個大會堂,靜態展示廠商的新品
    Market Place: 一個大會堂,買賣唱片、音響配件等等的市場
    Ear Gear Expo: 一個大會堂,耳機展示區
    展房區的樓層包括了: Lobby, Lower, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12
    展覽的完整平面圖等報導完我再拍上來






    展覽期間有安排許多會議會與表演

    預設 MBL 整套旗艦,盡情的發揮

    mbl在北美市場推廣的相當用心,直接就成立了直營分公司,還有專屬北美的mbl網站,AXPONA會場上直接搬出當今整套旗艦,mbl 101 X-treme四件式與4台9011後級,前級6010D、訊源1621A+1611F,另外還有盤帶機。由於展房在地下室,空間又夠大,這是我自2007年mbl 101 X-treme發表以來,第一次聽到這套系統發揮到極緻,四件式的動態可怕到了極點,而且大音壓下,完全沒有失真的感覺,透明度與質感仍是超高水準,只有親自聽過才能明白這套系統的可怕潛能居然到達這樣的地步,真希望台灣代理商能找個好場地來示範一下,一套發表快10年的喇叭至今仍在High End市場旗艦喇叭之林稱霸,mbl真是有夠威的!

    除了黑膠系統外,使用盤帶機播放的展房也不少,後面都會陸續看到。

    為了營造聆聽環境,現場非常暗,沒用閃燈自然效果有限,房間內也用上了許多聲學處理,在超大音量示範下,完全沒有駐波

    預設 AURALiC ALTAIR: High-Quality Streaming DAC 發表

    AURALiC在AXPONA展覽上發表了全新的ALTAIR High-Quality Streaming DAC,若是熟悉AURALiC的朋友,可以將其想成VEGA DAC與AREIES Streamers的一體機。ALTAIR擁有多達15個輸入,幾乎無所不包了。

    (Streaming Inputs: Network Shared Folder [on both NAS and computer], USB drive, Internal music storage (optional), uPnP/DLNA media server, TIDAL and Qobuz streaming, Internet Radio, AirPlay, Bluetooth, Songcast and RoonReady; Digital Inputs: AES/EBU, Coaxial, Toslink, USB device to computer, 2 USB host for storage and external DAC, RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11b/g/n/ac Tri-Band WiFi.)







    AURALiC總裁Xuanqian Wang先生表示經過三年多的研發,AURALiC的Lightning streaming platform串流平臺已經非常成熟與穩定,ALTAIR是產品線的延伸,並非取代VEGA或是ARIES,並且ALTAIR擁有最高的聲音水準。Lightning DS支援TIDAL, Qobuz, Internet Radio,ALTAIR也能使用AirPlay, Songcast與Bluetooth,還有最新的Roon。




    Memory Playback,記憶體播方,是Lightning streaming最新的功能,ALTAIR 可以先抓取整條歌曲後再播放,聲音會更好,並且不需透過網路就能單獨運作直接播放音樂檔案。ALTAIR可選配2.5-inch HDD or SSD,也可自己安裝!















    這次ALTAIR也展示了新的黑色選擇,其他產品也將提供黑色版本





    • AURALiC Tesla Platform 獨家Tesla解碼處理中心
    ALTAIR is powered by AURALiC's proprietary Tesla hardware platform that includes a Quad-Core Coretex-A9 processor running at 1GHz, 1GB DDR3 onboard memory and 4GB system storage. The Tesla platform has a calculation ability of 25,000 MIPS, more than enough to decode a vast spectrum of audio formats, including AAC, AIFF, ALAC, APE, DIFF, DSF, FLAC, MP3, OGG, WAV, WV and WMA.

    AURALiC has chosen this platform for its flexibility and long term support consideration. Future features planned include DSD Upsampling, Room Acoustic Treatment and MQA support. All these features can be delivered through automatic online updates without user’s attention.

    • Femto Master Clock 雙飛秒時鐘
    The dual-frequency Femto Master Clock inside the ALTAIR is specially designed and optimized for its ESS Sabre DAC chip: with one frequency for playing music with a sampling rate which is the multiple of 44.1K, and a second for 48K, making it possible for ALTAIR to be able to lock on with highest clock precision (equal to VEGA’s ‘EXACT’ mode) at all time without dropouts. The Femto Master Clock, which is powered by a 9uV extremely low noise dedicated power supply, has a very low phase noise performance. It not only has a dramatically low phase noise, which is only at -151dBc/Hz level, but also an excellent 100Hz offset noise level which is only -115dBc/Hz. Driven by such a high performance clock, ALTAIR can bring you vivid music with natural detail and solid sound image.

    • Linear Power Supply 線性電源
    With more and more DACs at this price range starting to use switching power supplies, AURALiC insists on using high performance but costly Purer-Power™ linear power supply technology on ALTAIR. With this technology, the dirty AC power firstly goes into a power purification module, and the DC current and noise from both within and outside audio frequencies can be reduced by as much as 90dB. The purified AC power is then feed to a high quality transformer, with a specialty iron core made to AURALiC’s specifications, and unique wiring to ensure zero vibration and very low noise to avoid impacting the sensitive audio electrical circuit.

    Comparing to the conventional switching power supply which generates wide-band noise that is hard to eliminate, AURALiC’s discrete component- based power supply feeds the DAC chip’s analog circuit with an astonishing low noise that is below 1uV (1uV = 0.000001V) within the entire audio band, making ALTAIR a perfect tool to re-discover your music with more details in the ‘last bit’ that you may never noticed before.

    • Flexible Filter Mode 多種數位濾波
    ALTAIR has four built-in filter modes which allows its user to customize sound best befitting their personal preference. Those filter modes were developed from AURALiC’s well known Flexible Filter Mode in the VEGA Digital Audio Processor, with each containing several digital filters optimized for a corresponding sampling rate. Flexible Filter Mode was developed under AURALiC's subjective auditory sense and objective testing data relationship models, to optimize the listening experience for different music and format. The “Precise” mode exhibits perfect in-band ripple and out-band attenuation performance, while the “Smooth” mode is better for overall enjoyment as it has no 'pre-ringing' effect. The other two modes, named “Dynamic” and “Balance” are optimized for different music formats as well.

    Technical Specifications
    Frequency Response: 20 - 20KHz, +/- 0.1dB*
    THD+N: <0.001%, 20Hz-20KHz at 0dBFS
