TIDAL Connect is now preferred TIDAL client app for Cary Audio streamers

Due to changes at TIDAL our mobile control app Cary Streamer 2.0 will soon be unable to access TIDAL API (Application Programming Interface). As we already described in our TIDAL Connect knowledge articles (here and here) Wi-Fi casting via TIDAL Connect feature of TIDAL’s own mobile or desktop app offers maximum functionality and convenience for controlling Cary Audio DMS streamers and AiOS complete system.

Cary SI-300.2d reviewed in Hi-Fi Voice (CZ)

Hi-Fi Voice is the largest online audio magazine in Czechia, founded in 2008. The original review by Jiří Petrák is in Czech language but for the sake of reaching a wider audience we translated it into English. Below is some key paragraphs and conclusions from this translation*. For tech specs and features see our product catalogue: SI-300.2d integrated amplifier. I like Cary Audio. Sure, it’s a subjective affection that I’ve interpreted as “our shared warmth towards vacuum tubes”, but in this case that argument doesn’t apply, times change and we change with them. The component under review is pure solid …Read More

Cary DMS-800PV Customer Review

Genuine user experience by Cary Audio customer Frank P., who purchased DMS-800PV Network Audio Player. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for the kind words, Frank! Cary Audio DMS-800PV I purchased a new DMS-800PV two months ago. As an audiophile, over the years, I’ve gone through a lot of component upgrades while evolving my listening preferences along the way.
