Network Player Ayon S-3 “Junior”

Full Description

Overview
Many of our clients have asked in the past for a more affordable Network-Player based on the famous S-3. The downgraded S-3 “junior” version is the answer and offers many design highlights from its bigger brother, the S-3. One of the major changes at the S-3 “junior” are the power supply system and the tube output stage. We did the downgrading very carefully and the S-3 “junior” version offer maximum flexibility and a top sound performance in its price class that you would expect from an Ayon product with.
