SOULNOTE PHILOSOPHY

Soulnote believes in keeping the dynamic performance of the original waveform as the most important for music playback, which is, however, still unmeasurable by any of the conventional methods. At Soulnote, only listening dominates the determination and improvement of a circuit, selection of parts and mechanical construction. This approach is a kind of antithesis against the supremacy of static performance. Kato made a hypothesis about a counter-concept which he called dynamic performance. The adoption of the NOS (non-oversampling) mode for PCM playback in digital-to-analogue conversion as well as a non-NFB (without negative feedback) circuit in amplifiers come from this hypothesis. Indeed these worsen the measurement results in static performance, but a remarkable improvement can be recognised in a dynamic one.
