“…the Klimax DS streamer and Klimax DSM streamer with built-in preamplifier raise the performance bar to new heights. Central to the latest, and fully retrofitable, Klimax is the new Katalyst DAC architecture, which uses a sophisticated circuit to create better power supply feeds to individual subsystems in the DAC chip. …Although the existing Klimax was one of the best digital streamers in production, the latest Katalyst or “DS/3″ model towers over its predecessor in virtually all aspects of performance. The change is so significant you can hear the difference in comparisons in only a few seconds. It’s this performance that made the Klimax DS and DSM The Absolute Sound’s Streaming DAC of the Year.” — The Absolute Sound.
