432 EVO LAUNCHES AEON AND MASTER MK3 REVISIONS AT THE DUTCH AUDIO EVENT 2022

This month 432 EVO will boost the 432 EVO MASTER and AEON music servers to the new MK3 edition.

432 EVO will exhibit these new products at the Dutch Audio Event 2022, this weekend in Eindhoven.

432 EVO MASTER MK3

The MASTER is 432 EVO’s dual chassis flagship music server, which can run both Roon 2.0 and Logitech Media Server as music backends, combined with 432 EVO’s custom real-time tuned player running on the same machine, which outputs via an audiophile USB output to a USB DAC, either in bit-perfect mode or with upsampling enabled combined with or without 432 Hz processing.

432 EVO AEON MK3

The AEON is the more affordable version of the MASTER: while MASTER has a true triple linear power supply with three country specific independent transformers, output stages and cabling (for the IT parts, the clock and the USB output boards), the AEON uses two Sbooster BOTW linear power supplies. The MASTER also has more under-the-hood Linux tuning than AEON, which is invisible to the user, but says 432 EVO, ‘clearly audible’.

The mk3 revision will now feature a new and improved USB output card with dual USB outputs.

3D SHEILD

Also new on the retail price list as an option, is a 3D shield which isolates the USB output card and clock from the IT parts. The 3D shield combined with an upgraded SATA cable comes as a package deal for € 300.

Within the 2 year warranty period 432 EVO AEON can be upgraded to 432 EVO MASTER. For existing customers, the 3D shield can be retrofit to virtually all older 432 EVO HIGH-END, AEON and MASTER models.

EXTREMUS FILTER

432 EVO has also upgraded the built-in upscaler feature, with a new selectable upsample filter bank which passes far more bandwith than traditional upsampling, and combines the best of frequency and time domain features of such filters. This new “Extremus” filter will soon be released as a free software update for all AEON & MASTER customers.

DUTCH AUDIO EVENT

432 EVO will demo the mk3 revision of the MASTER flagship at the Dutch Audio Event together with Belgian speaker brand Ilumnia, in room 11.
