With 538 exhibitors from 44 countries, the 36th HIGH END was once again an international highlight for the entire industry. As usual, TAD Labs was present and presented two systems in the 100m² showroom: The Evolution series with the Micro Evolution One (ME1) loudspeakers, driven by the D1000 PreAmp/CD/SACD/DAC multifunction device, as well as the M2500MK2 power amplifier. In order to demonstrate what is technically feasible, only components from the TAD Reference series were used in the second system.
