“The game changer”

I think it could be the sixth biggest game-changer in cartridges in three decades. The other five? its older siblings.

DS Audio 最超值的光學類比唱頭

“2019 年慕尼黑音響展上，日本 DS Audio 正式發表 DS-E1 光學唱頭，我恭逢其盛拍了影片，不過最近才有機會試聽，而且差點就還不回去了，因為實在聲音太棒，價格又落到可以入手的區間，差一點點就壓斷理智線出手了。”
“買？不買？好掙扎，但聽過 DS-E1 之後，我肯定這絕對是 DS Audio 自家最超值的一款唱頭，DS-E1 具備極為乾淨的音樂背景，能讓音樂的層次感拉得更開，中高頻華麗的色彩，與寬闊的音場呈現，都是 DS-E1 迷人之處，而且，這個價格不是只買唱頭，而是連專用唱放都一起買了。假如您擁有過 MM 與 MC 唱頭，那麼您更應該試試「第三條路」：光學類比唱頭，它那安靜的音樂背景與開闊豐富的音樂細節，絕對值得收藏。”

台湾杂志对DS-E1的评论（中文）

“DS Audio’s latest optical cartridge/phono-stage combo, the DS-E1, while priced at the low end in the lineup, achieves a performance level well beyond expectation. It retains most of the key sonic signatures of the top-end model with just slightly lower resolution and dynamic punch. In terms of background noise level, transient speed, and tonal accuracy, the DS-E1 is obviously ahead of conventional transducers at the similar or much higher price bracket. The clean, accurate and harmonic-rich reproduction of well-recorded piano music will quickly dispel any doubt the DS-E1 being one of the best buys in the analog-gear market today. Strongly recommended.”
“ DS Audio的最新光学盒带/唱机级组合产品DS-E1虽然价格低廉，但性能却远远超出了预期。它保留了高端型号的大多数主要音色特征，并具有DS-E1在背景噪声水平，瞬态速度和音调准确性方面仅略低于传统分辨率，在价格相近或更高的情况下，都领先于传统换能器。 DS-E1已成为当今模拟齿轮市场上最畅销的产品之一，其出色的钢琴音乐录制能力将很快消除任何疑问。强烈建议。

DS-E1音频音乐评论

“It would be easy to call the DS Audio E1 optical cartridge and equalizer a benchmark at the $3k price point. I think that it’s easily a benchmark at twice, maybe even three times that price.”
“将DS Audio E1光学盒带和均衡器称为基准价格为3000美元是很容易的。我认为这很容易成为基准价格的两倍，甚至三倍。”

“if you value sonic purity, supple textures, commanding bass reach, and impressive dynamic scaling, the DS-E1 will almost certainly tickle your fancy. Its transient fidelity, almost unparalleled quietude, and superb retrieval of low-level musical detail won me over. As I shared with Garth Leerer in a recent email, I am keeping the DS-E1 as my new reference. It represents shockingly good value in a world where five-figure cartridges no longer shock, and it sounds great.” Enjoy the Music review is here.
