AVM stands for Audio Video Manufaktur, and the company has been in the US for five years. I write this because every time I enter their room at CES I forget that I've seen them before and think, oh a new company. I'm not sure why that is, but to set the record straight (at least in my mind), they have a very full line of products with several new digital sources of note.
AVM has three lines of products ascending in quality and price: Inspiration, Evolution, and Ovation. Pictured above is the Evolution MP3.2 Media Player with built-in Teac CD transport that handles PCM up to 24/192 and DSD64. There are six digital inputs, digital volume control, iOS and Android apps and Tidal integration.
The 3.2 is available now for $6,600 and its higher end sibling, the slightly taller MP6.2 will be available this month for $11,500. The more expensive version can handle up to 32/354 PCM and DSD128.
