Wide Selection
Locrian Audio is an authorized dealer for Accuphase, EMM Labs and Ypsilon Electronics products. We have selected those three brands because of the built quality but most importantly, we believe their reference DACs are the best digital audio components we have ever heard. The same seems to be echoed by the specialized press in their reviews. In addition, the MA3 and DV2 from EMM Labs, can be an outstanding base on which to build truly high end minimalist system. We have several components available for audition in our studio across the entire price range.
The NS1 Streamer acts as a powerful and versatile bridge between the internet, your network and your music system. Potentially, one of the best streamers on the market today, certainly the best we have had the opportunity to audition extensively with vRadio, Qobuz, external disks and servers.
