“McIntosh Laboratory had a good idea in combining an RIAA phono stage with a 24-bit PCM digital audio converter (ADC), as it makes a relative breeze of transcribing beloved records to a more convenient format. It also presents an opportunity to make informed decisions about the components and calibration of a turntable – I found myself making recordings of different decks to compare their sound signature easily, as well as comparing pressings and small geometry changes, for example.”

“After two months of regular use, I have concluded that POLARIS the integrated is destined to become a classic.

” Every review should include at least one recording of a woman’s voice. I picked another fave, Shelby Lynne’s Just a Little Lovin’ (DSD64/DSF, Lost Highway/Analogue Productions). In the title track, the opening bass note literally shook the room and sounded like a believable part of the performance.

“Taking audio quality up a notch, hi-res file compatibility tops out at 24bit/384kHz for PCM and 11.2MHz for DSD. The Onkyo-branded device is also ready to rock with MQA decoding and rendering; that means listeners get the full hi-res unfold and pre-emptive correction of the DAC chip’s pre-ringing.
