DELA S5 Review The Ear

The Ear
Music without noise
In an otherwise well-sorted streaming system, it would be foolish to dismiss the significance of a good network switch. Dela, as Melco, has been around since the start of the streaming revolution, and that experience shows in products like the S5. There are other options around, but none in my experience match the combination of looks, build, and performance of the Dela S5, or, indeed, the magnificent S1. Products like the Dela S5 help to put streaming, especially of stored media, well ahead of other digital sources and knocking on the door of all but the most capable high-end analogue sources. Unless you have listened to a system which includes a product like the Dela S5, you have not heard the best that network streaming has to offer. You may be quite surprised by just how much performance can be extracted from the medium.

The Silent Angel Extreme Trio of the Bonn NX network swicth, Genesis GX word clock and Forester FX adaptive power supply form the foundation for a full-fledged high-end streaming setup for both music and movies. Using these divices in cascade offers an upgrade that extends the asking price. It transforms music reproduction from a mere presentation to a true connection with the soul of music. I don’t think I’ve ever been so close to the musical intent. Best of high end award!
