Ideon Audio introduces Ayazi Max DAC for Warsaw premiere

Ideon Audio will give its Ayazi Max a world premiere at Audio Video Show Warsaw on 23 October 2026. The Ideon Audio Ayazi Max digital-to-analogue converter uses hybrid multi-bit conversion with multiple parallel channels. It is scheduled to be available to order from late November 2026.

The converter's firmware was developed entirely in-house and coordinates the parallel conversion channels. Its conversion architecture combines internal timing management with signal processing. The analogue circuitry uses a single-stage approach, while the signal path is fully balanced from beginning to end.

The power-supply design centres on a transformer built to Ideon Audio's specifications. Independent supplies serve the analogue, digital and control circuits. The DAC has an aluminium enclosure and an integrated display that shows basic operating information.

The Ayazi name dates back to Ideon Audio's first product, introduced ten years before the Max. The intervening Ayazi X Anniversary Edition comprised 19 units for sale and one for the company's museum.

At the Warsaw show, Ideon Audio will also demonstrate its flagship Axiom DAC and Nous Streamer/DAC, with the three products playing in separate systems. The Nous combines a network streamer, fully balanced DAC and analogue preamplifier in a single chassis. The Ayazi Max is also scheduled to appear at HXOS EIKONA SHOW in Athens on 21 and 22 November 2026.
