Built like a tank – Those were Simon Lee's exact words describing his forthcoming All-in-One temporarily named the SiMON [~€7K]. It combines a bipolar power amp with a full-featured DAC, CD player, FM tuner, Bluetooth, phono stage and headphone amp. Rear panel socketry includes 1 x AES/EBU, 1 x USB, 1 x LAN, 2 x coax and 2 x Toslink in, coax out then 2 x RCA inputs, 1 x XLR, phono, home-theater bypass and a pre-out on RCA plus biwire speaker terminals and inputs for an FM and BT antenna. First availability is expected for Q4 this year. There are also the D1 reference DAC, T1 reference transport and M1 monoblocks to go separate. In fact, "we've developed more than 12 new products over the last 4 years". Interested parties should contact Mr. Lee directly at simon55kr at naver.com for the latest about his company Simon Audio Lab.
