Anybody heard Trinity Products?

Howie,

One of the members over at WBF went to the US Trinity importer, who also happens to carry the CH, and had written the following post, which you may find interesting:

So I finally listened to the Trinity dac and server and enclosing some pictures. We compared to the CH Precision C1 with a D1 transport which we put in after as well as through ethernet/nas and USB. The system consisted of Zellaton Grand speakers along with Nagra Jazz pre and 300B amp. The wait was definitely worth it as the sound is very special. Bottom line is that you really have to hear it to get it as the sound is so difficult to describe. Absolutely no digital artifacts at all - the sound just flowed like never before. I would say it's the most "present' sound I've ever heard with unreal dynamics and beauty. Just so effortless and elegant sounding. We did not have DCS there or MSB but just based on memory, they simply are not comparable or just reproduce music differently. The Trinity was all about natural reproduction - I've never heard a system so bloody honest before. Quite frankly, it took me a while to get it as it was a completely new sound for me. Swapping with the less expensive CH was instructive as it illuminated just how good the Trinity is. As excellent as the CH is, the Trinity was just more natural and dynamic sounding - more alive. The CH portrayed music differently, less dimensioned than the Trinity but still very very musical. One major point is that the Trinity sounds consistently amazing on all digital formats. 16/44 on it sounds better than all DSD dacs I've ever heard. In any event, it looks like it's only available in Hong Kong, Germany and New York City. I tried to stay away from the "best" argument as you really have to judge for yourself....

Nice write up. This makes life very difficult. Any idea what the treat price is?

I belive it is $60k in the US. In Europe it costs 40k euro. Not idea about the Asia pricing.
