<description><![CDATA[It's no surprise to many of our loyal readers (two of the three of you) that yet another high-end USB DAC is coming onto the scene, and this time from none other than dCS, one of the few companies in digital these days who make their own actual converters. 
If you haven't heard about it already, it's called the Debussy, and here's what the guys at dCS have to say about it:

<description><![CDATA[We here at Music Lovers would like to congratulate Wilson Audio for once again achieving such a high level of excellence. 2009 has proven to be nothing short of a breakthrough year for Wilson. Between the release of the Sasha and the accolades given to both it and the Maxx 3, we're still trying to catch our breath. Michael Fremer, of Stereophile, already wrote a flattering review of the speaker in September (it can be read here: Maxx3 Review), and now in this month's issue of Stereophile, the...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Just when we thought Musical Fidelity may have been down for the count when their US distribution fell through, they have come through in a big way!!!  They have decided on a newly redesigned website and a return to their core values: a high performance to price ratio. The pure Class A AMS line and the ultrapowerful M6 line both look and sound great.  We were blown away with the soundstage that the AMS35i was able to kick out and were equally impressed with the 200W per channel M6i which also...]]></description>

<title>Verity Audio speakers now available at Music Lovers</title>
<link>http://www.musicloversaudio.com/news/story.php/verity-audio-speakers-now-available-at-music-lovers/</link>
<pubDate>Sat, 24 Oct 2009 14:54:00 GMT</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Presenting a modern design with multiple finish options, including several wood veneers, Verity Audio offers a natural, non "hi-fi" sound. They're speakers made for "discriminating listeners who search for transparent musicality in a refined and organic design that is both pure and beyond fashion." Quite a quote indeed. Others might call it the "pipe and slippers option for the modern player." But they would sound obnoxious if they actually said that.
