We wanted to release this information at the High End Show in Munich next month, but pics have already made their way out there... so here's a sneak preview.

For some time, we have been rolling around the concept of loudspeakers... and finally we've decided to do something. I'm certain that you will be as impressed as we are... they are sensational.

ReMusic recently reviewed our Audiant 80i integrated amplifier and gave it their 'Spark' award. The 80i joins only a handful of other components to have earned this prestigious award.

The Audiant 80i was reviewed by Roberto Rocchi who found the sound of the amp possessed a "naturalness" and had "control like a true champion". Impressed that such a big sound could come from the 'little' Audiant 80i he commented:

“The small size of the Audiant 80i is in startling contrast to a big sound, opulent and luxurious.”

Roberto liked the natural sound of the on-board USB DAC and suggested it will "satisfy the aesthetic taste of the most experienced audiophile", especially if using a computer to stream music.

Our award-winning Audiant DP32 USB DAC preamp and 100p stereo power amp have just been reviewed by HIFI4ALL.DK.

Reviewed by Mikkel Gige, he compared the sound of the DP32 to that which he has only ever heard from vinyl and one other digital source:

“It is a huge achievement, as DP32 can be quite proud of. I have only experienced the same "analog" sound from one other digital player...”

You'll need to read the review to find out what player that was, although I will tell you it starts with 'M' and costs three times as much as the DP32.

Audio Video Magazine recently reviewed our Audiant DP32 USB DAC preamp and matching 100p stereo power amp in their October issue.

Reviewer William Kelly loved his time spent with the DP32/100p pre-power combination although, just like any self-respecting South African, he managed have a dig at us Kiwis in the process, particularly our national rugby team – the All Blacks.

William, might I remind you that the All Blacks are the current Rugby World Cup holders, won this year's Rugby Championship AND retained the Bledisloe Cup... need I say more? :-)

Thankfully William managed to put his prejudices to one side to find:

“This pair owes no explanation to anyone – it is simply very, very good at producing music.”

Esteemed UK audio mag Hi-Fi Choice have just reviewed the Perreaux Audiant DP32 USB DAC preamp and 100p stereo power amp in their December issue. They rate the Audiant pre-power combo a massive 10/10 (5/5 each) and award the pairing the coveted 'Hi-Fi Choice Editor's Choice' gold award.

To say we're 'totally chuffed' with the Editor's Choice award is an understatement. Recognition of this calibre doesn't come around that often and confirms the hours and hours of sweat, tears and determination that went into the development of the DP32 and 100p has created something truly magical.

Richard from New Zealand has assembled his ultimate home theatre audio system using Perreaux amplifiers and preamps – including two of our reference Prisma 350 stereo power amps and a 6160 six-channel power amp, along with the Prisma SM6 MkII and Audiant DP32 preamps and our Prisma CD1 CD player.

I'll let Richard explain his audio system in his own words...

“Forget attacks in the dark or subtleties or nuances. The reason why I went down the Perreaux path was completely all about the sound. The first time I ever heard a 350 was when I went to audition some JBL Ti-10ks that I saw on Trademe just over a year ago. The seller had bi-wired them with a couple of Accuphase power amps controlling the mids and trebles and the 350 was controlling the woofers. And when I say control I mean full on domination. Grip beyond anything I had ever seen or heard. Normally an amp will have a speaker on a leash but these appeared to be physically joined at the hip. I knew at that moment that my other amps were about to be given the cold shoulder.

“Sound tracks with a rich spectrum and complicated rhythm are very legible, timbres of individual instruments are confidently heard”
