About Us

From Audiophiles to Makers

Audiophile motivation

We love music.

Before Bach, Bach himself, and everything after him. Einstürzende Neubauten. And jazz, too. Classical and free jazz alike…

The beauty of music is that it speaks not to the mind, but directly to the soul. It touches layers that we could only uncover consciously through hard work. Some audiophile devices are capable of creating this connection.

 

Musically valuable, but lower-quality recordings

Distinctive, highly coloured audiophile and high-end systems can be selective. They shine in certain genres, yet venture beyond those boundaries and they may fall short.

 

Neutral-sounding audiophile devices

We’ve found that when a system truly sounds neutral, this problem is much less noticeable. The less “colouring” there is, the easier it becomes to enjoy any recording.

Of course, it won’t work miracles on lower-quality material, but it makes it much easier to absorb and interpret. The content and message of the music can come through, even if the engineering isn’t perfect.

The soul of sound

The creation of Natural Distortion products — including this DSD DAC — was not merely an engineering task, but the fulfillment of a lifetime’s journey.

Its developer, Máthé Kálmán (1951–2025), had been fascinated since childhood by everything that records and reproduces sound. He was not only interested in how they worked, but sought within them the “soul of sound.”

His passion became his profession: microelectronics became the center of his life, a field he taught at university level, always guided by the pursuit of pure sound.

The Path

10 years of experimentation and learning

We wandered down countless dead ends. Some ideas looked perfect on paper, but in practice did not deliver the expected result. We tried many different solutions, technical approaches, circuit topologies — and gained an immense amount of experience.

Even when things did not work the way we hoped, every attempt brought us closer to what we were searching for: that the essence of music could reach the listener directly.

The device is merely a tool,

our goal is the experience

Our story was never born from a fleeting idea. From the very beginning, one single goal guided us: to get closer to music, to that experience in which sounds do more than just play. They fill the space and speak directly to the soul.

Pure emotions

We create our products with the same passion with which we listen to music ourselves. We trust that when you sit down to listen, you will feel the same energy.

And perhaps most importantly: when the music begins, we hope you forget it is coming from a machine. What remains is the space, the rhythm, the instruments — and the experience that touches you directly.
