The Breakthroughs: The Anatomy of a Revelation
1 The Mountain DAC – Redefining Digital Purity
Born from the legacy of the DAC1 Mk I, the Mountain DAC redefines what’s possible.
Capacitor Free Design: Eliminates phase distortion for bass that’s both profound and agile.
Jitterless Timing: Advanced reclocking ensures temporal precision, as if the music exists in a timeless space.
Halved Distortion: Reveals nuances previously masked by harmonic artifacts – hear the absence of noise as clearly as the notes.
+6dB Dynamic Range: Faithfuly renders whispers, crescendos, and everything between without compression. “We didn’t just improve measurements, we reimagined what a DAC could feel like. The first violin playback wasn’t a test; it was a revelation. That’s when we knew: this changes everything.” Daniel
For listeners who demand both technical excelence and emotional resonance.
2 The Mountain Pre – The Art of Neutrality
Zero Coloration Circuitry: Amplifies without editorializing – the music’s intent remains untouched.
MicroDetail Retrieval: Resolves the subtlest textures, from a pianist’s pedal shifts to the rasp of a reed.
UltraLowNoise Architecture: A power supply quieter than a recording studio’s midnight silence.
Precision Attenuation: A bespoke potentiometer ensures seamless volume transitions, even at whisper levels. “A preamp should be a window, not a filter. With the Mountain Pre, the glass vanishes.”
For purists who value unadulterated signal integrity above all else.
3 The Mountain Power – Authority, Refined
Class A/B Reimagined: Selective multipath feedback delivers tube like richness with transistor precision.
Unwavering Stability: 2 x 140W (8 Ohm) or 2 x 260W (4 Ohm) of controled power, unshaken by dynamic extremes.
Very High Damping Factor: Tames even complex impedance curves with surgical accuracy.
Linear Power Supply: Matches instantly to load demands, ensuring effortless control over demanding speakers. “It doesn’t drive speakers – it liberates them. The difference isn’t loud, it’s profound.” For those who seek power without sacrifice – where nuance survives even at reference levels.
The Foundation – Shared Innovations
ResonanceFree Enclosures: Multiboard construction neutralizes vibrations before they distort.
DualMode Operation: Symmetrical for purists, asymmetrical for versatility – your choice, your sound.
Decoupled Electronics: Shockabsorbed PCBs isolate delicate circuits from mechanical stress.
Advanced remote control: Bluetooth integration designed to seamlessly control the highest quality audio. “This isn’t about chasing specifications. It’s about curating moments – the breath before a vocal entry, the decay of a cymbal into darkness, the rediscovery of a lifelong favorite song. With the Mountain Series, the equipment disappears. What remains is the music, as the artist intended it. Not ‘enhanced.’ Not ‘curated.’ Simply . . . true.”
For those who measure excelence in both data and delight.
