At Goodwin’s today and tomorrow: a remarkable CH Precision system on demonstration.
Featuring the C10 Mono Statement DAC, L10 Stereo, and M10 Mono, with Avalon Saga Signature loudspeakers, Basis and Lyra analog, and MIT cabling throughout.
A serious system, thoughtfully assembled, and well worth hearing.

Join us in Vienna, where CH Precision will be featured in a reference system built around Peak Consult’s new Sunfire loudspeakers.
The system will include the D10 Reference Transport, C10 Reference DAC, T10 Time Reference 10MHz Clock, L10 Reference Line-stage, and M10 Reference Power Amplifier, with Chord Company ChordMusic cabling, Chord Company ARAY grounding devices, the Telos Power Station Tai Chi, and Andante Largo Grand Tower support.
We invite you to visit, experience this exceptional system, and meet the CH Precision team.

Congratulations to Rhapsody on a wonderful event on May 1st and 2nd.
A system featuring Marten Coltrane Quintet loudspeakers, driven by the CH Precision C10 Reference DAC, L10 Reference Line Preamp, M10 Reference Amplifier, and D1.5 Transport, was already reason enough to pay attention. To end the evening with a live jazz concert made it something more: not just a demonstration, but a musical occasion.
That feels especially true to Rhapsody, whose public philosophy centers on listening sessions, shared experience, and intimate concerts in a dedicated environment for music lovers.
Congratulations to the Rhapsody team on a beautifully realized event.

CH Precision’s commitment to R-2R conversion begins with a simple conviction: digital codes should be translated, not statistically guessed at.
That is why CH builds its DACs around true multi-bit R-2R architecture rather than delta-sigma methods. But R-2R only justifies itself if executed with real rigor. So the ladder resistors are mounted on a common silicon substrate, preserving matching accuracy, thermal stability, and long-term linearity across the network. In the C10, that means eight resistor arrays per channel: four for the non-inverted signal, four for the inverted counterpart—a configuration that delivers greater stability, symmetry, and temporal precision, essentially eliminating the microscopic mismatches that erode coherence, linearity, and truth at the lowest levels.
This is not digital as a technical exercise. It is digital, made answerable to music itself.

Much of modern digital audio is built around delta-sigma conversion: immense oversampling, noise shaping, and a statistical approximation of the desired analog result. CH Precision takes a different path. Its DACs are built around true multi-bit R-2R conversion, in which each digital code corresponds directly to a defined analog state. That distinction is not academic. It goes to the heart of CH’s belief that music must be preserved as an ordered sequence in time, not merely reconstructed as an acceptable outcome.
The difficulty is that R-2R makes severe demands. It requires exact resistor matching, thermal consistency, and long-term linearity. CH addresses this where it must be addressed: physically. The ladder resistors are mounted on a single silicon substrate, ensuring geometric uniformity and thermal tracking across the network. In the C10, there are eight resistor arrays per channel, with four devoted to the non-inverted signal and four to its inverted counterpart, all operating within a tightly synchronized DSQ™ phased array designed to ensure greater stability, channel symmetry, and temporal precision, essentially eliminating the microscopic mismatches that erode coherence, linearity, and truth at the lowest levels.
This is not digital as a technical exercise. It is digital, made answerable to music itself.
The aim is not measured by specifications alone. It is a more exact preservation of musical time, structure, and identity.

Modularity, at CH Precision, is not about options for their own sake. It is about refusing obsolescence.
Each component is designed to perform completely in the present, yet remain open to future expansion as a system evolves. That is why CH speaks of “progression without obsolescence”: not replacing for the sake of replacing, but building in a way that respects longevity, relevance, and the listener’s long-term relationship to music.
This is modularity as ethos. Engineering with foresight. Performance with continuity.

A fine showing at AXPONA for our sister brand, @wattsonaudio .
The Madison Streamer, Power S, and Amplifier, driving the new Magico S2 with Nordost cabling, delivered a sound that was remarkably engaging and transparent. Kudos to the Wattson team for a system with real clarity of purpose.
On the CH front, Magico used the L1 and X1 in a system built around the remarkable S7. Majestic is the right word.

We’re grateful to hi-fi+ for this superb review of the C10 Statement DAC and CH Precision’s 10 Series digital platform. “Boxing Clever” is a British idiom meaning to act with intelligence and strategic skill, and here it works as a pun on CH Precision’s multi-chassis architecture: many boxes, thoughtfully deployed.
The review understands something essential: that real progress in digital is not about exaggeration, but about deeper intelligibility, greater coherence, and a more complete preservation of the music itself. That is why phrases like “Nothing added or taken away” and “the magic resides in the music” mean so much to us.
Our thanks to Alan Sircom and hi-fi+ for the care, precision, and generosity of attention reflected in this review.

The new CH Controller app for iOS is now available.
CH Controller brings together system control, music playback management, and extensive device configuration in one unified interface for current CH Precision components.
Users can adjust volume, select inputs, manage playback, and access a broad range of component settings directly from the app. For compatible C and I Series devices, the app also provides integrated streaming control.
Connected over a standard local Ethernet network, CH Controller automatically discovers compatible devices and presents them within a coherent system view.
Available now for iPhone and iPad.

Two new pages. One digital philosophy. Two distinct expressions of it.
The new C10 Reference DAC page clarifies the role of CH Precision’s already world-leading two-chassis converter: a complete instrument in its own right, and the point of entry into our ultimate digital front end. Just as importantly, its upgrade path remains fully intact.
The new C10 Statement DAC page exists because this version deserves to be understood on its own terms. By separating the Master DAC and the Conductor into independently powered chassis, the Statement DAC gives the C10 architecture an even more ideal physical and electrical environment in which to operate. The musical consequences are not abstract: greater stability, greater intelligibility, more convincing decay, and a deeper sense of continuity through complex music.
Same foundation. Higher realization.

It was a pleasure to welcome Zach and Hans of @definitive.audio to CH Precision in Préverenges.
Thank you both for taking time out of demanding schedules to visit us. We truly enjoyed having you here and were grateful for the chance to share not only the products, but the deeper culture of thought, engineering, and listening from which they emerge.
The best visits are not merely tours. They are opportunities for real exchange—for time, attention, and understanding. This was one of those visits, and we are grateful for it.
Definitive has shared their reflections here:
