Quirky, and to my mind ill concieved.
A CD transport but an amp without digital inputs?
Bluetooth capable so there must be a dac but still no digital inputs, crazy.
Very few usable facilities, the amp would have to be pretty special sound wise to even be worth £1k.
Don't let the original high price tempt you, it's all casework and an elevated UK price to suit the export market.
That transport is actually a CDP with Burr Brown 1796 dac
Perhaps Less is More should read less costs lots more. .... ;-)
Custom built EVERYTHING with CNC to very very tight tolerances, not your typical tin box amp you see 99.999% of the time. The Oxygen project was purchased from Primare's founder Bo Christensen who already dumped 1 million in it and failed to do a commercially viable product. Roksan invested more money, time and talent and succeeded what others couldn't. It's something Roksan is known for, oddball engineering wonders. The billets of aluminium that make the case are CNC milled to 10th of a millimiter precision, otherwise the touch screen sensors dont work. (the metal case is touch sensitive)
And its made in the ******* UK, so cherish it.
Al - richers are listing both a Cd D player and transport, still seems silly to me.
Vlad - As I said, all casework. Those milled alloy cases cost a fortune for a modest quantity, "custom everything" is just a joke in modern engineering terms, pointless.
And the functionality, just ridiculous, generally I love non-mainstream product, but this....
