At the recent 2015 AXPONA show in Chicago, the exaSound room received not one, not two, but six best-of-show awards for true high end sound from The Absolute Sound's Andre Jennings, Jonathan Valin and Julie Mullins. Three awards were given directly to exaSound DACs, while three additional awards were given to our room, which included amplifiers from Pass Labs and loudspeakers from Magnepan:

A big Thank You for Andre Jennings', Jonathan Valin’s and Julie Mullins’ votes of confidence in exaSound and our approach to natural yet affordable sound quality. Considering that the entire inventory of gear came in at under $21k, easily less than 1/10th of what some of the other rooms at the show would cost, exaSound’s a perfect way to deliver exceptional fidelity.


Special thanks to our friends at Maggie and Pass Labs for providing their fine equipment in our exaSound room. We are proud that our DACs, which avoid the typical shortcomings of digital, allowed our partner’s gear to really shine.
