Jadis Release New JS1 MKV And JS2 MKIV DACs
French High End electronics brand, Jadis, have released their new JS1 MKV and JS2 MKIV DACs, (the JS1 MkV is pictured, with its separate power supply unit). A full complement of valves combines with digital technology to make, say Jadis, “the perfect high-end DACs for people who listen to digital music but crave the captivating tonality and flow of pure analogue sound”.
They were originally due for their official launch at High End Munich 2020.
