DS Audio Japan, famed for its optical phono cartridges, is now distributed in Malaysia by Audio Perfectionist.
DS Audio Japan is an innovative company that designs and manufactures high-end analogue audio components, with a focus on optical phono cartridges and matching equalizers.
They are celebrated for their innovative methods in analogue playback, utilizing optical technology to transform stylus movement into audio signals, which sets them apart from traditional moving magnet and moving coil cartridges that rely on magnetic fields.
Recognized for their groundbreaking optical phono cartridges, a technology they pioneered, DS Audio Japan employs a beam of light to detect stylus vibrations.
This unique approach to analog playback offers advantages over conventional magnetic cartridges, including a remarkably low noise floor, minimal distortion, and the ability to reproduce a wide frequency range with outstanding clarity.
DS Audio’s mission is to “create the future of analogue music,” and they are committed to overcoming challenges to bring this vision to life.
Their flagship model, the Grand Master Extreme, features a 0.22mm square one-piece diamond cantilever, meticulously crafted from a single diamond for superior performance.
