SOtM sMS-200 Neo SE Mini Network Player

The sMS-200 is a new generation of mini network player with built in ‘Media Player Board’ developed with our own technology.

The significance of the sMS-200 comes from the dedicated ARM processor board developed specifically for audio. It is not like the many ready-made processor boards in the market offered with dazzling low price but not very high sound quality, due to which many audio product manufacturers experience deterioration of sound and are forced to use unnecessary features from their boards. Not so with the sMS-200.

SOtM developed this with audio sound performance at the forefront, getting rid of all unnecessary features and concentrating on a high quality sound tone for a reasonable price.
The sMS-200 is carefully designed to provide the best sound quality based on our own unique technologies built up since the days of media players, and it is probably the only one capable of exceeding the current network players on the market in terms of functionality.

As to the player software, Roon Ready, MPD, DLNA, SqueezeLite and others are available as well as music files from an external USB storage device, network shared folders and streaming. And more functions can be easily added via software upgrade.

The sMS-200 is the one and only network player in this price range that delivers high fidelity together with impressive sound. It makes people freely imagine the real scene where the original sound was generated.

Experience the difference and surprise with the sMS-200 developed by SOtM.

The sMS-200 Neo is the updated model to our previously very successful sMS-200. While the original model sounded very neutral and balanced, the changes brought about by the updated sMS-200 Neo will mostly be perceived as a more relaxed presentation. Although the standard sMS-200 is already an overachiever, the sMS-200 Neo retains this while still adding an extra dose of musicality to the party.

This version also includes these upgrades:silver DC wires, eABS shielding, EVOX caps, and clock input

(2) SOtM tX-USBultra USB Audio Device

You may have heard someone say or said yourself something like “it sounds analog” or “it sounds musical” when listening to a very good sound.

Such expressions have been used to describe sound that is close to the real charm in an actual performance stage or that is instead expressed in musical nuances. However, whether it is the former or the latter expressions, the meaning of these expressions could only make sense when the feelings of a very dedicated and dynamic live performance reach our ears and touch our minds.

However, with most audio systems it is very difficult to experience such charm or musical nuances, and in fact even it is even hard to reach such sound with ultra high-end audio systems.

So SOtM, to overcome such situations, has been developing from the SATA filters, the tX-USB card series and other equipment since people first started getting into computer audio. These have settled in to being essential parts of digital audio nowadays, but still it is a fact that there is a lot to overcome to improve sound quality.

Facing up to this fact, the tX-USBUltra is designed to reach to the goal of improved sound quality. It works as a hub receiving and distributing USB audio signals, but regenerating the USB AUDIO signal by the high-performance super clock module, sCLK-EX, installed inside to the product, so that sound could be superior to any other USB audio product.

The mid-low range sounds very deep, detailed and earnest, the high range sounds extremely delicate and open, and the very low range gives you transparency you have never heard before and gives you a very natural and solid texture of performance.

The sound improvements with tX-USBUltra can be heard out even in an ultra high-end audio system, it can simply be judged as the best USB audio device up to date.

Whatever is, it is very difficult to go beyond any limit in any field. At the heart of this product is the built-in super clock, sCLK-EX, which has been developed over the years, allowing you to experience a whole new range of sound and introduce you to go beyond the sound.

The tX-USBultra would show how to upgrade the sound quality and improve the dignity of music by in-depth research into advanced audio technology.

Key Features

• USB audio signal regenerated by sCLK-EX
  • Custom designed ultra low phase noise oscillation circuit
  • Isolated differential clock signal circuit
  • Wide operating voltage input range
  • Ultra low noise regulator circuit
  • Optional 10MHz master clock input
• 2 ports USB hub
• USB port power ON/OFF switch
  

SOtM sCLK-OCX10 Master Clock with upgrades

The sCLK-OCX10 is a master clock generator that produces a high purity 10 MHz clock signal.

In digital audio devices, the clock signal acts as the heart of the product, a higher purity clock brings more accurate and better sound quality. However, the higher purity clocks also requires higher costs, therefore, a high-purity 10MHz clock, like a master clock, is not installed inside of the audio device but connected to the internal clock and synchronized by a master clock as the way to improve sound quality.

The sCLK-OCX10 is a specially designed product for high end audio equipment which brings all the benefits of master clocks that have been used primarily in recording studios and high performance audio. It could be the paramount digital device for audiophiles who want the best sound quality. It can be used with devices equipped with a BNC connector for their master clock input. For SOtM products, 10MHz master clock input connectors can be optionally added to products with the sCLK-EX installed such as the sMS-1000SQ, the sMS-200ultra, and the tX-USBultra can be used with the sCLK-OCX10.

As many audiophiles know, the clock signal is an angled square digital signal, but the sCLK-OCX10 produces a pure analog sine wave of 10 MHz, and this sinusoidal clock signal is the method adopted for the best clock performance because it produces significantly less noise than the angled square digital clock signal. In order to implement this, the sCLK-OCX10 consists of only analog circuitry which contains 10 years of know-how of SOtM, it derives high analog sound that is different from other master clocks on the market which output angled square digital clock signals.

Throughout all bandwidth, the sCLK-OCX10 produces a very delicate, smooth and natural sound without losing the inherent energy that every instrument has, especially in the mid-low bandwidths. It brings very clear and significant improvement which normally can be expected by the best analog devices, so with the sCLK-OCX10, you can experience not only music played by a system, but the essence and the artistry of the music’s heart. And such experience means absolute improvement that can be only achieved through SOtM’s technology rather than tweaking sound.

The sCLK-OCX10 has four outputs, and it can be used simultaneously with 4 BNC connectors for master clock input devices. Optionally, the output impedance can be set and selectable to 50 ohms or 75 ohms.

There are few experiences as rich and beautiful time as listening to music with a good quality audio system. If the sound of the system is good enough, it will be a most pleasant time to enjoy.

In order to enjoy the moment, many audiophiles are investing a lot of time and money into their own systems. And they understand that it can be a long journey that is only possible with a passion for audio.

However, we wonder how many audiophiles are truly satisfied with the sound in their system. Especially with a network audio system, you will know from your own experience that it is not very easy to overcome and resolve all the variation from network circumstances. It also occurs with an ultra high-end system, mainly due to the lack of technological development so far. The physical network transmission technology in particular is the key point to be considered in this subject.

Not all of the physical network connections use the special techniques developed for audio transmission, even though there are a variety of high-end digital audio devices, and eventually it brings a lack of musical fidelity which should not happen with high-end audio devices.

So the sNH-10G is now available, it is a network switch developed to overcome such low performance in a network environment, and it is finally able to give you a fundamental solution in your network audio system.

Totem Element Fire V2 with Solidsteel Stands

This Fire is hotter than ever before.

Efficiency, bass response, and power handling specifications imply Fire V2 is a hulking tower rather than the statuesque monitor it is. Now powered by next generation Torrent woofers, it is meticulously refined to redefine the category.

The proprietary magnetic design of Totem’s own Torrent woofers require absolutely no crossover components and allows an unadulterated flow of musical energy. The effect is felt as much as it is heard, simultaneously stimulating a physical and even emotional interaction as one listens.

Correspondingly radical tweeter design balances the Torrent spectrum with sparkling clarity, natural phase, and striking accuracy on and off axis.

Some speakers can be the centerpiece of the favorite family area, others the focal point of a dedicated listening room, some the core of a serious recording studio. Fire V2 can – and will – do it all.
