Getting Ready for Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2015

Rocky Mountain Audio Fest (RMAF) is the premier event in the United States for high-end audio and increasingly also for headphone and personal audio experiences. The 12th edition of RMAF is about to start once again at the Marriott Denver, CO (October 2-4) and promises to be the largest and best ever, with great seminars and product launches.

Amarra for TIDAL is the ultimate music playback solution for streaming audio, and will be available from the Sonic Studio web site for US$39.95, while the free Amarra Remote app will be available from the iTunes Music Store. The new player was developed in conjunction with TIDAL’s engineers.

At the 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas there were plenty of new headphones, earphones and earbuds, including many new wireless models. But for the more demanding consumer nothing grabbed more attention than the announcement of the new EL-8 closed- and open-back planar magnetic headphones by Audeze. Also, Audeze introduced its new Deckard high-quality headphone amp/DAC.

The maker of highly acclaimed planar magnetic driver headphones such as the LCD-3 and LCD-XC has selected Audio Precision audio analyzers to test products during development and production. APx series matched the range and accuracy demanded in cutting edge tests for Audeze’s advanced electro-acoustics products.
