Neodio
Background
As an electronics engineer and music lover, Stéphane Even could not understand why he only rarely experienced moments of “pure grace” with his Hi-Fi system, despite the fact that he had good quality CDs and equipment. Ultimately, his dissatisfaction as a purchaser of high quality sound reproduction led him to leave his job as R&D Manager in a large company to become a Hi-Fi electronics manufacturer. And so it was that the Neodio brand was born in 2001.
Technology is only a means, not an end in itself
For Stéphane Even, the only thing that really matters is the realism of the music, and the emotions that it generates. The search for technical perfection only interests him if it contributes to expressing the music’s complexity and its nuances. It is essential to differentiate the aspects of technical performance that genuinely add to the listening experience in human terms, from figures that are highlighted in marketing material. For example, what is the point in reducing an amplifier’s distortion to virtually zero, if the speakers then generate 100 times more? Why abandon PCM for DSD when we do not know how to fully exploit the CD format?
