Arcam have been busy over the last few months working on genuinely innovative products. The two new accessories that have arrived this weekend are the drDock and rPack.

drDock

The drDock is the most comprehensive docking solution imaginable. Being compatible with iPod, iPhone and iPad, and featuring internal d/a conversion, it features analogue and digital output feeds. The drDock also features video output via HDMI. Add to the above the facility to connect to laptop / PC via USB, in dock charging, and remote control, you may just get the idea of how flexible and complete this solution is. The drDock is made out of cast aluminium.

Price £200

rPack 

The rPack provides a novel quality solution for people who want access to their music on a laptop anywhere. The rPack combines the functions of USB d/a conversion and quality headphone amplification in a single, very compact box. The rPack gets its power from the USB connection. When you want to hear your music through an audio system, the rPack has analogue outputs via a pair of phono sockets.

Price £150

The new Arcam D33 Super DAC is now on demonstration. For anyone who wishes to get the best out of streaming, or simply improve the performance of their CD player, this new DAC will fit the bill.

Arcam have been doing a lot of work on digital conversion technology to produce their new converter. With vanisingly low jitter levels, isolated power supplies and novel 'clocked' USB connection, the D33 fulfills the demands of users who want a high end DAC to offer the best performance with all digital music sources.

The FMJ D33 retails for £2,000, and we think is only betterd by DACs costing several times it's price.

Probably the most time accurate speakers in the world!

Green Mountain Audio have been building loudspeakers in Colorado for more than a decade, and, like so much of the very best audio equipment, are the result of the vision and talent of an individual. Again like so many of the current crop of audio 'greats' this is a result of solid engineering practices. This is coupled to an attention to detail that would be impossible in a large product line orientated enterprise.

The results? Well come and hear for yourself. But if your objective is to have a system that will play any type of music; unravels the most complex music; plays in tune and in time in an unprecedented fashion; then you need to hear what these speakers can do.

The GMA Rio 2 (£2,399) and new Eos HX (£4,199)are currently on demonstration. The AudioWorks are the only retailer in the UK offering Green Mountain Audio products

Sometimes it takes a while to understand what a product can do, but we've had the Arcam Solo Neo for a couple of months now, and we are still finding new capabilities. So what is it?

Well, its a very reasonably priced high quality all in one CD player / tuner / amplifier.

But it's also:

A very advanced network player, that can find music that is stored on your computer either through ethernet or wi fi connection.

A sophisticated media player that will play stored music from a USB drive.

An internet radio player (via home computer) with access to thousands of radio programmes from around the world.

There are almost certainly things I've missed out, as I say the thing continues to surprise us with capability.

So if you are looking for a future proof all in one system, that doesn't deprive you of the ability to just play CDs or listen to the radio, it doesn't really get any better.

In the early 1980s Albarry Music produced a legendary product, in the shape of the M408, at a time when there was a lot of competition for a high performance audio product. Such was the 'aura' surrounding this product that legend has it, an Albarry amplifier made it to a centrefold in Playboy magazine!

Well, the legend has returned, and is even better. Benefitting from improved components, the speed and energy delivery of the amplifier is much improved over the original M408 (now in M608 guise indicating the improved power capability of 60W per channel into 8 Ohms). The M608 monoblock power amplifiers are £2,550 per pair.

Better news still is the development of a matching pre-amplifier. This is a stunner, and a bargain to boot, which could find it's way into improving the musical performance of many a system. The reason for paying particular attention to the pre-amp is that we know a lot of systems using dCS front ends forgo a preamp. This isn't the way to get the best out of dCS. Well now, for £1,950, you can own a preamp that will do justice to the amazing dCS front end.
