"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...”

STEREOPHILE PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2022 | CLEARAUDIO REFERENCE JUBILEE
PRESS | POSTED NOVEMBER 30, 2022
In reviewing the Clearaudio Reference Jubilee, Ken Micallef noted that it didn't sound at all like his Kuzma rig, with its big soundstage, ample weight, and good drive. Instead, the Clearaudio "sounded like nothing ever heard here in my urban listening salon."
"The Reference Jubilee's sound combined vivid detail retrieval, forceful dynamics, a delicate, refined top end, and a translucent midrange. Levels of resolution, clarity, transparency, and trueness-to-source left me vinyl-shocked and thinking, 'So that's what's on this recording.' ... Records surrendered their secrets, their inner lives, their time-secured, soul-charged beauty."
"I didn't just hear more music; I heard more life force, a deeper recorded experience."

“...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.”
