Digital audio of the past has been a compromise of convenience over quality. No more.

We believe that High-Resolution Audio is the future of audio entertainment and will transform how you listen to your favourite music.

Higher sample rates and greater dynamic range help you to immerse yourself in audio as never before, allowing you to hear music as it was supposed to be heard without having to sacrifice quality over portability.

The lossy, compressed formats of the past and smaller files sizes resulted in a corresponding reduction in audio quality. This is a trade-off that will no longer blight the enjoyment of your favourite music.

Having been embraced by the music industry, albums are now being offered in High-Res formats and there are numerous online streaming services that cater for High-Resolution Audio (highresaudio, Qobuz and Bleep being just a few examples).

Now it’s time for you to embrace it too.

High-Resolution Audio adds greater depth and clarity to the audio experience and our commitment to ensuring that our consumers enjoy an unparalleled listening experience - either at home or on the move - is at the forefront of all our current and forthcoming product ranges.

Most of our recent and upcoming ranges include the ability to support High-Res Audio, be it our smartphones, media players, or headphones and speakers.

Available in-store in May, the PS-HX500 turntable is just one example of how we’re engineering new products with Hi-Res Audio capability. An expertly crafted turntable, the PS-HX500 not only brings out the best in your music collection but also allows users to convert their vinyl to High-Resolution Audio via a USB cable.

Compatible with PC and Mac, our easy to use, intuitive software means that you can queue up your records, hit the record button and sit back and enjoy the music. The resulting Hi-Res Audio files will far exceed the technical dimensions of a traditional CD or MP3 and can be quickly edited and labelled with the relevant track information.

Our latest turntable has been designed with the audiophile in mind. Whether blowing the dust off your old vinyl or moving it to a more portable format, the PS-HX500 is an essential addition to any audio setup.

Embracing Hi-Res capability as an integral component of our all our products, we will continue to innovate and push technological boundaries in order to engineer the kind of quality audio products that our consumers demand.

High-Resolution Audio treats your music collection with the respect that it deserves, and so should you.
