This really speaks to the philosophy behind Northern Audio and Music To My Ear

There is no single system…or sound…that is right for everyone. That’s why we begin by listening: to what you enjoy, how you use your system and, most importantly, what makes your ears happy.

The goal isn’t simply to sell someone a collection of equipment. It’s to help create a system that brings that person closer to the music.

Thanks to Vandersteen Audio for putting into words why knowledgeable, customer-focused audio dealers still matter.

You already know how your favorite music is supposed to sound. HQPlayer may reveal just how much you still haven’t heard.

For listeners who have spent years building a music collection and carefully improving their audio system, HQPlayer offers a remarkable next step. Its advanced digital processing can bring greater clarity, space, depth and realism to recordings you’ve known for decades.

But HQPlayer is not a simple plug-in-and-forget product. The computer, streamer, DAC, network and software settings all need to work together properly. Greg has nearly seven years of hands-on experience with HQPlayer, including the technical quirks, system matching and upgrades that make a genuine sonic difference.

We’ll be exploring the system in greater depth through future videos, adding improvements piece by piece and explaining what each one contributes. Follow Northern Audio so you don’t miss the series.

Most importantly, come hear it. Stop by 3003 Babcock Blvd., bring a few songs you know inside and out, and ask Greg for an HQPlayer demonstration. Familiar music may sound anything but familiar.
