If maintaining sound integrity while listening to high quality tracks on your portable music player is important to you, this crowdfunded innovation is worth your attention. The Geek Wave recently fundraised $1.3 million, surpassing its goal by 348%.
The high performance portable music player is designed with discerning ears in mind by a team out of Sacramento, California. Despite its rectangular design, it is not the next generation of iPod. The Geek Wave can play regular MP3s in addition to having a capacity of 32 bit/348 kHz PCM and a native DSD player. All this technology means this product can play the highest quality audio content wherever and whenever you want.
This speciality item is likely to appeal to a niche market, rather than the average music-listening consumer.
