InfigoAudio IS-1

 








































The streamer is the culmination of multiple, unique digital source product developments in the classic Infigo style designed enclosure.

There are three versions: Performance, Signature and Cryogen.


Product highlights:

USB audio optimized connection to a DAC for highest possible sample rates of digital music

Built in ultra low noise linear power supply creates very low noise floor, creating a very black music background

Network attached internal local storage of music (up to 4TB) to play music local direct to DAC

Fiber optic isolation of network connection to block network noise creates a separation between the ‘dirty’ network and clean audio chain

Ultra low jitter re-clocking of network audio packets (Signature and Cryogen version) eliminates the need for audiophile grade network gear

Built in local webpage with all control functions easily accessible via a browser in the network

Four different modes of operation to be compatible with 99% of music players in the market: Audirvana, uPnP, Roon, HQPlayer

Powerful Intel Quad Core CPU with one high speed core fully dedicated to music gives optimum sound quality for all modes of operation

Cryogenically treated internal cable model available (Cryogen version)

The new Infigo Audio Streamer IS-1, like all other Infigo products, has a clear top panel cover that shows the blue LED illuminated internals

The blue front panel LEDs can be dimmed via the built in local webpage, which also gives a status information overview panel and a settings menu to change the mode of operation

The internal local music storage presents itself on the network as a network drive and is compatible with most Windows, Mac and Linux systems

The streamer can operate as an Audirvana Server, Roon Endpoint, HQPlayer Network Audio Adapter or Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) music endpoint, which covers 99% of music players in the market

All of these modes of operation run exclusively on a dedicated high speed processor core to make sure nothing interrupts the precious audio process while playing. This streamer will get the best out of any USB DAC

The gigabit fiber optic isolated network connection eliminates network noise and jitter. The optic converters in the unit are powerful enough to bridge a fiber cable more than 10 miles long

The streamer comes standard with an armored fiber optic cable of 3 meters but can be supplied with different lengths on request

The base model, Performance, lists at $3500, the Signature model lists at $5000 and the Cryogen model $7000

Michael Weidlich Audio K3

 































































The K3 is our reference in the art of loudspeaker construction.

Weidlich & Götzenberger Audioengineering is the development team behind this ambitious project. 

The beautiful shape of the housing with its organic and elegantly tapered curves invites the eye to explore. This is an acoustic dream environment for the loudspeaker systems used. Comparable to the aerodynamics of a vehicle, the sound waves of the air can spread along the housing contour without turbulence.

There are no parallel structures in the interior. Reflections and resonances are  effectively suppressed by this and the extensive insulation. The sandwich construction of the housing walls with a combination of highly compressed and softer materials ensures unyielding rigidity and quietness. The large crossover chamber behind the concave rear wall offers generous space for accommodating the high-quality Mundorf components. 

​Tweeters, midrange speakers and mid-woofers are top products of German loudspeaker engineering. ARCOSIA is the name of the top series from the renowned German manufacturer ETON. 

The tweeter has a 28 mm magnesium dome coated with ceramic on both sides. Its carefully tuned double chamber volume offers the best conditions for a linear transmission. This tweeter sounds highly musical.

The 4" and 7" cone drivers have membranes made of magnesium composite material. The membrane is provided with spiral holes through which the rear coating protrudes slightly. This not only gives the chassis their characteristic design, but also their radiant, colorful sound.

A 30 cm subwoofer from Scan-Speak ensures noticeable pressure in the K3 down to the deep bass regions. Its aluminum membrane can play cleanly up to the midrange and thus maintains the high transparency of the entire sound.

Since all housing volumes are closed, no noise escapes from openings.

The high-quality piano lacquer gives the shapely K3 an appearance similar to a large concert grand piano and makes it a unique living space object. 


The dimensions are:

Height (max) 125.4 cm

Width body (max) 39 cm

Width feet 51.5 cm

Depth (max) 72.4 cm

Although notoriously difficult to drive, the 300B tubes give unmatched low distortion in the most critical location in the whole amplifier.

The trick with the 300B is that it demands a driver with both very low distortion and significant power into a high capacitance load. Most drivers fail at that task, leading to murky and colored sound. With a powerful enough (and linear!) driver, the full beauty and immediacy of the 300B is revealed.

Starting with the most linear tubes for each power range, we choose the most linear possible circuit: fully balanced, and transformer coupled at each stage. No power is wasted in load resistors, as in conventional Golden Age vacuum tube amplifiers. All of the power is made available to the following grids, not just a fraction. The audio signal goes straight from plate to grid, with no detours or side channels.

The signal path is copper, transformers, and vacuum tubes. Nothing else. No coupling caps, no dynamic loads, no phase splitters, no secondary paths, no feedback loops. Just a straight shot from input to output. And it sounds like it; the absence of secondary paths, and various types of signal processing like phase splitters, is immediately evident. You will hear it right away, on any type of music you prefer.

The power amplifiers have a special feature for balanced preamps like the Raven: they take advantage of the balanced, isolated signal and feed it directly to the matched 6SN7 input-tube grids. If a conventional preamp is used, there's a dedicated input transformer that isolates and balances the signal, but using a Raven preamp gives an end-to-end signal chain using fully balanced tubes, with each transformer coupled for maximum signal transfer, with no side chains, feedback, or dynamic loads. Nothing but copper, transformers, and vacuum tubes.
