Hi All,

This is just a quick one to say that we now have the the dCS Vivaldi One Apex on demo and installed in our Reference system, for those who don't know the Vivaldi One Apex is what I, and many others, consider to be the best digital one box source in the world today, it is certainly sounding amazing in our demo system.

There are only 50 of these available in the world, most are now sold I am being told by dCS, so if you would like to come in for a listen please feel free, we have managed to secure one more for stock but once that is gone there will be no more Vivaldi One's I am informed by dCS.

Please find an overview below and a few pictures -
