Nash Rev.b & EVO Phono 3 explored by HFA
'Round 2'
"At its price point of 1800 euros, it is the best Phono Stage I have heard, short of the CH P1 and maybe the Pass Labs XP-17.
Based on my experience, you must at least spend double the Nash’s retail price to improve sound quality significantly".

Rock-Star Larson
Class A Mono Blocs
"Small in size but not in results, they don’t cast a spell over heavyweight fans.
Those who need to move their electronics with electric forklifts won’t find what they are looking for,
be it a hernia or a protrusion on L5 S1".
"I have never experienced such power, blackness and precision with my dipole ribbons with any Amplifier
not even with my Air Tight ATM-2 Monos …
"which are more than twice as expensive"
$5,995 each.
Rock-Star Mitchell
Analogue Electronic Crossover
"It is certainly an extraordinary device, both because there are no others on the market – we'll see ...
and because what it does when listened to – watch out, spoilers – is truly extraordinary in every sense.
In short, Manunta strikes again".
"Multi-part investigation into Mitchell"
Larson Mono-Blocs
Larson is a low-power Class A Amplifier with separate power supply. It delivers 20Wrms 8 Ohms &
40W 4 Ohms. Based on a classic smart circuit which dates back to the dawn of the Solid State era - a circuit which
resembles that of a Single-Ended Triode Tube Amp.
$5,995 Each.
M2Tech was founded in 2007 by Italian electronic engineers Nadia Marino and Marco Manunta. In 2009 the company launched its first product to much acclaim, the hiFace USB Audio Interface - the first of its kind capable of delivering bit-perfect 192/24 data.
This remains one of their best selling products and is now in hiFace Two guise. Since then the ‘Rock Star’ series have gained attention, featuring Digital & Analogue electronics named after famous musicians ; the Crosby Power Amplifier, Nash Phono Stage, Young DSD MQA DAC/PREAMP, Marley Headphone Amplifier, Van der Graaf Linear Power Supply, Joplin Analog to Digital Converter/Phono Stage and now Mitchell Electronic Crossover.
One of the key features of both the Rockstar and the more affordable Manunta Audio EVO ranges (including EVO DAC3), are upgrade optional separates – such as the EVO DDC3 and EVO PSU3.
Rock Star Van der Graaf MKII PSU is capable of powering up to 4 other 15v Rock Star components to maximise overall System performance.
It can also be used to power the 9v EVO’s.

Vaughan Dac/Pre/HP Amp
2013 : 6 Moons
"I've heard something like it only a few times before like with the Musica Ibuki Series Sekigahara Japan DAC. This rarity explains why this experience was so moving now. The Vaughan shows what computer audio is capable of if done properly. It becomes a completely new experience".
"Gateway to a whole new world"
2013 : Enjoythemusic
"If one is able to consider a DAC in the M2Tech Vaughan's price range, I can't think of many others that I would recommend over it ... even many that cost more".
"My brain interpreted this Digital signal as the real thing"

"Sound performance is at the highest level".
Young Dac + DSD Dac
Young Dac
2011 : Techradar
"M2Tech's Young DAC is one of the most talked about Hi-Fi products in enthusiast circles".
2011 : 6 Moons - High Fidelity (Poland)
"There are a few worthy DACs in the 5.000zł price range but none will be as precise, quick or dynamic as this Italian DAC. And up to few dozen thousands zlotys none will be as resolving either".
"Incredible dynamics and energy in the treble"
2011 : Soundstage
"A DAC costing nearly three times as much as the Young doggone well should sound better" !
2012 : The Absolute Sound + Palmer Power Station
"You have the makings of a great-sounding, low-drama computer audio system that will amaze and delight".
"Young makes an ideal Digital hub and D/A converter"
2012 : audioFi + Palmer Power Station
"This combo resides firmly in the realm of High-End and one you have to hear if you want to bring your Digital playback to the next level".
2013 : Stereophile + Palmer Power Station
"The M2Tech combo's performance had seduced me".
"I didn't want to let them go"
DSD Dac
2014 : Soundstage Ultra Young DSD
"Though it won’t resolve quite as much detail as the best DACs costing from five to seven grand, you’ll hardly notice".
"Ultimately, the Young DSD made me want to listen to music"
2014 : Top Audio France
"It brings to reproduction a transparency worthy of much more expensive devices, a transparency which is added to a bandwidth which seems unlimited".

2014 : Audiostream USA
"The M2Tech Young DSD DAC is one of those DACs I can see people saying sounds analog".
2014 : HifiStatement Germany - Young DSD + Van der Graaf
Use Chrome to translate
"With this combination M2TECH succeeds in the synthesis of High End and reason. Simply great" !
The EVO Range
EVO hiFace + Master Clock + PSU
2012 : 6 Moons - High Fidelity Poland
"Without thinking twice I can say that the hiFace EVO is the best USB-S/PDIF converter I’ve had through my system yet.
The addition of the external clock led to a depth of sound I appreciated very much.
However the M2Tech converter in 'full gear,' i.e. with the external power supply and external clock, sounded far better ... This was a real eye opener ..."
"Sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of its parts"
2012 : Remusic Italy Part One - Evo hiFace + Evo Dac
"Evo DAC and hiFace Evo are the two first M2Tech magic boxes I have tested ... and with great satisfaction".
"New virtual dimension of Music usability"
2012 : Part Two - Evo Clock + Evo Supply (explained)
Reviewer suggestions to Marco ... heard and understood (refer Evo Two range).
EVO Dac Two Plus + Evo Clock Two + Evo Supply Two + hiFace Two
2016 : Fair Audio Germany
"The concept of the Evo quadruple set convinced me across the board. The sound-per-cm³ ratio is astonishing !"

Joplin
2013 : Remusic Italy
"I can state that the Phono circuit of the Italian device is on equal terms with Phono stages whose price is around a thousand Euro. At this point I stop and suggest you to test this great piece of equipment - which can do justice to any Analogue Source".
"As far as I am concerned, they hit the mark"
2013 : Enjoythemusic
"With its Phono equalization performed in the Digital domain, the "straight wire with gain" paradigm comes closer to reality when one is transferring their precious Records to Digital formats".
"The M2Tech Joplin is a fantastic product"
2015 : Analog Planet USA - Joplin MKII
New model introduced with reference to AP's A/D Converter shoot-out.
"The Joplin is an impressive piece of gear with a wide range of capabilities"
