It's 'all about the Music' is the refrain ... hence the Audio Brands represented here offer passionate enthusiasts the opportunity to enjoy realistic musical reproduction - at the highest levels of performance ... but not the highest price levels. Read the Reviews ... and don't forget to 'read between the lines'. Often direct reference/comparison to well established (meaning very expensive) Brands ... will not be mentioned ... for obvious reasons.

All the products you will find below, can compete with alternatives costing many times their price ... and therefore provide superb value for money.

'EVO' 432 - 'Evolution Paths Offered'

2019 ''The Witchdoctor Diagnosis''

This is a critical element in the Audio chain. Streaming is the new Digital Era. However, CD has ruled for close on 30 years & lives on - so a CD (& DVD) Rip-Drive is essential.

"People have been talking about the decline of the CD for quite a long time now. But CDs are still a billion-dollar business in the U.S". Josh Friedlander Senior Vice President (RIAA) for strategic data analysis.

For many (including myself), Ripping and storing CD collections is a must have. Streaming offers an alternative music Source, that when combined with storage facility, provides maximum benefit to all.

The KB EVO 432 Range offers both. Functionality is not surpassed by any other alternative Product available. Unique amongst others is 432Hz tuning capability. Add to this DSD support - plus multi-functional resolution ability and something special is the result.

The Transports cover all the important price points for serious Audio reproduction and offer a range of features to suit various System configurations.

The "EVO ESSENCE" is an all-in-one solution (Dac inclusive) for those seeking minimal components.

"Enquiry is welcome" ... from both enthusiasts and Oceania Dealer Partners … interested to find out more concerning the EVO 432 experience?

The EVO Range has undergone extensive ‘up-grades’ and culminates with the ... "EVO 432 Master Flagship".
