"DS Audio’s made-in-Japan HS-001…machined from a solid billet of “ultra-duralumin”…features the sturdiest, most expensive-looking Litz wires I’ve ever seen...”
- Herb Reichert, Stereophile Magazine
“...the E3...gets you tantalizingly close to the performance of DS Audio’s much more expensive offerings at a small fraction of the price. Highly recommended."
“The MK II sounded noticeably speedier, clearer, harder hitting, and more alpha that the original SL, which it will be replacing.”
