Today I talk about a HiFi audio streamer and DAC you most likely have never heard of yet it is one of the finest I have experienced over the past few years. You know I have a love for my own reference, the HiFi Rose RS130 Streamer. Does this one from Electrocompaniet, the ECM 1 MKII, best my all time fave streaming box, the RS 130 from HiFi Rose? I talk about this in today's video as well as why you might want to check this one out.
This is a high end steamer and DAC worthy of a "reference" title. Hear why in today's episode!
No, I was not paid a cent for this review nor did I receive free gear. The truth? Running this channel costs me money as I buy the good stuff for myself! This piece is no exception to that.
Enjoy!

How to pronounce Electrocompaniet: Say ElektRo-company-at with a hard R and a soft t It's norsk, not français. 😉

[@alvarocoutinho3103]

In my personal opinion and experience, Electrocompaniet is the most tube sound like solid state electronics. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Optimismalism]

Dude, it is pronounced electro-compa-neat. Otherwise LOVE what you do !!!

[@frankgeeraerts6243]

Those monoblocs are even better ....

[@bgroovin1343]

Would be interested to see this compared to the NAD M66. They are similar in price.

[@BobbyDazzler888]

The best is yet to come

[@davidflack1466]

just wait till you try their pre and mono combo, if you wanted reference? there you go. (many mastering studios use them in skandinavien)

[@jakobgooijer]

Until you heard the GRIMM MU2

[@dtracy03ss]

Great review, would be hard with the EC all in one sitting next to it. Have a A12 on the way as we speak. Will be waiting for that Review!

[@petermitro3426]

Would love to hear your opinion on the Electrocompaniet as a preamp for a 2 component system.

[@ohadschwartz4798]

That will make more sense price wise..

[@rubinsteinkleer8334]

Will be interesting to see if the rs130 will be elevated back to number 1 when you test it with the RD160 Dac, coming soon ???

[@ianstrompf251]

Thoughts on pairing this with the AGD Duets?

[@bentleygt3716]

TBH. i wasn't aware of this company till i saw your first review of the integrated amp a few weeks ago and now this one. seems like a great company with great product. and this unit DAC & Streamer sounds promising.. i'm gearing more toward multi function audio equipment in ONE UNIT. (save a lot on separate pieces and interconnect cables !. (how does it sound with the QUALIO Speakers?). love the review. thank you..

[@middleearthltd]

It appears to be a Cirrus Logic multibit DAC As far as I can tell Elegant component design Above my pay grade but why not have and entire stack if you can

[@fierychilipeppers494]

How can equipment keep getting better yr over yr? Know what I mean?

[@chengo51]

.....Because NEW is always better.....don't you know that ? 😇😇😇🤣🤣🤣

[@jakbenardete7707]

TVs get better, computers get better, cameras get better, phones get better, it’s almost as if technology advances at a pretty decent clip.

[@TheMeridian808]

I would like to know, is the dac inside the same as in their cd player!?

[@toai2]

More than $5k for that hifi rose. I’ve heard of the little streamer like the Holo audio Red for $800. Lots of positive reviews on this little guy

[@goranlaslavic5985]

DAC technology is changing fast but is sound quality getting better in this price range? It ends up on your personal prefrences. Al this stuff sounds great.

[@craigosterberg5045]

Thanks

[@colinbrophy4182]

I see it has a remote with volume control. Did you try straight into an amp, ie., no pre?

[@ZEN_X999]

Did u conpaee AB this Electricompaniet vs Atoll SDA300 ???

[@991carreras3]

It seems like everyone is applying the word Reference to anything thats a few grand these days how about giving it a rest its kinda meaningless.

[@Kerwonderful]

In my opinion, it’s not the best if it doesn’t have an HDMI eARC input.

[@chengo51]

No ....they have another line of products, the RENAs ....cheaper ....please could you review them as well !

[@c34webb]

Is that a tumor growing off the left side of your chin? Jaw dropping

[@316RC]

Midfi it seems
