A Pristine Source

Digital sources have become integral to Hi-Fi systems for their convenience, allowing instant access to music at the touch of a button. However, delivering high-quality sound requires more than just playing a digital signal. To capture the essence of a recording, the signal must be pristine and well-timed, ensuring the DAC performs optimally. A noisy signal will simply amplify interference along the audio chain.

Flexible Storage and Connectivity

ZEN NG offers versatility with its modular design, allowing users to configure the device as a music server, streamer, or both. It supports storage options up to 16TB and features a digital output slot compatible with different modules like USB, I2S, or S/PDIF. This flexible approach ensures users can optimise their setup for the best sonic output and performance.

Built to be Upgraded

The ZEN NG is housed in a 10mm CNC-machined aluminium chassis that is not only durable but designed to reduce vibrations. Its modular construction allows future upgrades, including the ability to convert it into a ZENith NG for even higher performance. Sense 3 software further enhances usability with features like real-time kernel optimisation, CD ripping, and intelligent storage management, ensuring a seamless and high-quality listening experience.

Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.

The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.

It’s now two weeks since I bought home my new system and I wanted to say thanks again for all your help, advice and guidance, not to mention cups of tea. I now have a system that meets all my requirements and sounds fantastic. Special thanks to Jon, who I hope is on the road to recovery from his operation and to Roger, who helped me finalise my choice. The Rega Saturn, Hegel H190V and Dali Rubicon 2 is undoubtedly the best system I have ever owned.
