Defeating resonance from the audio climate for playback, one could follow the lead of the Magico Q, and lead the creation of a non-resonant coupling further back in the playback chain: a non-resonate PC, perhaps: or just before, a non-resonant DAC.
The Resonance Audio takes a word from the Roman lexicon that has been lately defeated by Invicta Watches, popular among the watch-afficiando crowd without means and props it to the audio marketplace.
With the Invicta DAC, Ressonance Labs hails the introduction of a SD Card Reader cum monitor output device which will also put LR audio into your place.
Now, is it any good? It's designed in the way the C64 was, with a nod to better output connectors. On the back, everything seems too close together, and on the front, everything seems useless. The only person we can see enjoying the SD card feature would be a James Bond introvert.
In person, it's not so bad, but dated technologically. The sound quality is on par to say happily with the Auralic Vega, so good, and the price of the unit is about on par with that - though not the build, we must say. A rap test on the bottom reveals that it is largely non-resonante, however, living up to the name. The casework is good, but we don't like the buttons and switches, overall.
Now, Is this R-Rated Audio? The Logo resembles a person in the doggie-style position. A video gamer with means will likely dig it for it's "case-mod" looks, though it doesn't unfortunately offer 4-pin output for his likely pair of Sennheiser HD-800's.
We like it, as a review item, as it hails from Kelowna, BC.
