The SW1X Audio Design® products are some of the most unique audio equipment available today. Combined with finest components, materials and power supplies, we employ the most innovative circuits on the market. Every material and component have their own distinct sound character. Understanding how materials & components and their interactive behaviour affect the sound is an essential aspect of the overall knowledge necessary to create musical sounding audio products. We are convinced that only an elegantly engineered circuit performs at its best if it is made of finest materials and components and vice versa. It is just like cooking a delicious dish: a special recipe made with the finest ingredients and with lot of experimentation & research by SW1X Audio Design™ team.
