TOPIC: Orchard Audio (Leo’s) Design Philosophy and Products

At Orchard Audio, we believe that listening should be an experience. With a range of expertly designed, high-performance DACs, streamers, and amplifiers, we’re helping you elevate the sound in your home theater, listening room, or recording studio. As passionate music lovers, we know how important your music is to you — that’s why each of our products is handcrafted in the U.S. with you in mind.

Leo will feature the following items:

2 x Starkrimson® Mono – 150W GaN Monoblock Amplifier
1 x Starkrimson® Stereo Ultra – 500Wpc GaN Stereo Amplifier

1 x PecanPi® Streamer – Hi-Fi networked streamer, DAC and headphone amp

According to Leo, "… anyone can notice the difference in quality, but not everyone will appreciate it. We design our products for those who appreciate excellence in their listening experience."

The BAS will provide for Leo’s presentation a projector, screen, and high-quality loud speakers. Participates are also welcome to bring their favorite headphones to try with the PecanPi
