THE NEW STREAMER

Nagra revolutionized digital recording in the early ’90s with the Nagra D, the world’s first recorder capable of 96 kHz/24-bit sampling, ahead of its time for music and film production. Today, high-resolution audio is commonplace, prompting Nagra to develop a streamer. Unlike following trends, Nagra focused on creating a high-quality, neutral digital source. The Streamer, housed in a compact yet robust aluminum chassis, echoes the design of the legendary Nagra VII. Its footprint accommodates tight rack spaces and allows placement near IT equipment, connected to a DAC via optical cable. The Streamer offers various streaming options like Tidal, Spotify, QOBUZ, vTuner, and upcoming Roon compatibility. It supports local file playback and connects via RJ45 cable, featuring outputs for Nagra DACs and others. An external power supply enhances sound quality, aligning with Nagra’s commitment to music. The Streamer bridges modern music sources with high-quality setups, expanding listening possibilities with digital streams and high-res files.

THE NEW REFERENCE TURNTABLE

Nagra is pleased to announce a new addition to our ever-expanding lineup of LP playback products. Two years after the launch of our groundbreaking and very limited edition Reference Anniversary turntable system we now offer a derivative of the Anniversary turntable called simply – the Reference turntable.

The Reference turntable/tonearm maintains the same level of obsessive attention to detail embodied in the Reference Anniversary turntable/tonearm system, including our insistence on technical achievement validated by extensive listening. Its concept, design and execution are befitting of its inclusion in Nagra’s flagship Reference line of products.

REFERENCE TURNTABLE

SIAS (Seoul International Audio Show), Seoul, KOREA

Many thanks again to K ONE AV for putting this amazing system together in Seoul.

The audience was stunned by the quality of the sound, both digital and analog, thanks to the REFERENCE ANNIVERSARY TURNTABLE / REFERENCE MC-6 cartridge combo, along with a full HD SET UP (with the HD AMP, HD PREAMP and HD DAC-X).

They also presented the recent CLASSIC DAC II for the digital part.

Here is a 48 minute video of beautiful music during this event :

MONTREAL AUDIO FEST, Montréal, CANADA

In Montreal, we were lucky to pair with Bliss Acoustics, our dealer in Ottawa.

Combined with a huge pair of AudioNec Evo3 speakers, the system featured the new NAGRA HD PHONO with the Reference Turntable and the MC4 reference cartridge, along with a NAGRA IV-S recorder.

BlissAcoustics also presented a Gryphon Audio Designs amplifier complete this dream system. All cables were provided by Luna Cables, and audio furniture by Modulum Audio.

Stereophile Magazine commented:

“This system produced some of the most sophisticated and compelling sound at the show. It had gorgeous tone, grand scale, and waves of fine detail. It also had tonal purity, musical grace, and an atmospheric, harmonic fullness. This sound was easy to sink into and hard to break out of”

We helped them put together a superlative setup with the Reference Turntable / MC4 reference cartridge combination, along with the HD AMP and some
gear from the CLASSIC Line. We had the opportunity to play with the NAGRA IV-S as well.

The system was paired with top of the line Stenheim speakers, Argento Audio cables and Modulum Audio racks.
