John Grandberg –
ZENmini Mk3 & LPSU “gets high marks” from Darko Audio!
The combination receives praise for its performance and value, “Whether used as a transport or via its analog output, the double-stack offers gratifying sound with a particularly strong sense of spaciousness – I can’t think of anything in this price class which can touch it in that regard”. Combined with the features and functionality on offer, “we end up with a rather compelling device which represents “trickle down” technology at its very finest.”
