Tiny not tinny. The Danes started to strut small stands tall in our upstairs. The photo shows the setup: Soundaware D300Ref SD card transport ⇒ I²S via HDMI ⇐ clock sync ⇒ Denafrips Terminator + ⇒ icOn 4Pro SE ⇒ 80Hz filter ⇒ high pass ⇒ Goldmund/Job 225 ⇒ Raidho ⇒ low pass ⇒ Dynadio 18S.
To show size in relation to other minis, one photo says it all. The X1t is compact but would still house two SuperMon Mini stacked if turned sideways. A 5¼" mid/woofer is simply bigger than a 4" widebander even though the Korean manages to pack an isobaric mate inside its petite aluminium extrusion.

The usual terminal assets are far stumpier than the norm but fully spade-certified. In fact, they ask very politely why we need long bulky cylinders sprouting from the backs of our boxes when something rather smarter does the job just as well?

Pretty and smart. Could this be a dangerous liaison?
