ho_kuku Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 I’ve got the director mk2 and their power amp (s800) - not the mono block. To me - the director and power amp sound good. Sense of rhythm is what stands out most. The dac section of the the director is also quite capable. Separation, layering, sense of space and height etc. It is highly musical without sacrificing details. I particularly like what spl does with ite amp - sounds very 3D and lifelike. I can imagine their mono block sounds even better. Local distributor is skyaudio. Should have a set in their showroom. You can ring Steve up and go have a listen - I personally think the spl is worth a listen.
Audiolab Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 I am using the same combo as well. All I can say it makes me smile regardless if I am putting my tv output through it, movies, YouTube or music from my server, definitely worth a listen.

ho_kuku Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 My sentiments exactly bro and my set haven’t fully run in yet :) I am using the same combo as well.

Audiolab Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 I have been letting mine run for a while even when I am not listening. So assuming run in is a 100 hours, I should have hit it. I did notice significant improvement when running in. Enjoy!! My sentiments exactly bro and my set haven’t fully run in yet :)
Dunatos Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 I own the Director Mk2 and M1000s. The sound is magical, when connected to my modded MAC mini with Steve’s cables. Detail of each instrument comes out crystal clear with its own Attack and decay and timbre, unaffected by the other instruments. Yet the band and Singers are obviously playing and singing together harmoniously. Sound Signature is neutral and yet alluring. PRAT is impeccable. Easily the best set up I’ve ever heard and owned, even compared to the giant Krell’s and A38 I’ve used in the past.
SkyAudio Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Hi Nax, thanks for creating this thread on our SPL Director Mk2 and M1000 Mono Amplifier. Hi ho_kuku, Audiolab & Dunatos, thanks for sharing your feedbacks on our Director Mk2, S800 stereo & M1000 Mono amplifier. We would like to take the opportunity to share with your what designer’s description on the “SPL’s sound”: If you ask us how we describe our sound, this will be the anwser: - Effortless and relaxed - Very precise but not edgy - Huge sense of spatially and origin specificity - Seemingly unlimited dynamic range with a ability to bring micro-dynamics and softest dynamic contrasts to full life against a jet black background - Uber musical We have so far very amazed and impressed by what SPL can do in the music reproduction. The designer also shared with us their unique technology in term of their design:- VOLTAiR 120V Technology The 120V rail technology as VOLTAiR technology to express the unequalled high voltage with which audio is being processed. It is four times as high as in standard audio designs. The performance characteristics are unique and they have just such effect on the listening experience. https://spl.audio/voltair-120v-technologie/?lang=en DLP120 (dual low pass filter in 120V technology) With the DLP120 the analog wave form is directly “born“ into the 120V universe with its tremendous headroom. The relaxed, uncolored, transparent sound is largely due to this stage. Lastly, please be informed that we are providing free home demo without any obligation if you are interested to find out how SPL can perform in your system. Thanks & Best Regards Sky Audio Steve Hp: 97270672
