AES Show 2024 NY: Personal Highlights

Notes from the AES Convention in New York. After three days of the annual flagship event of the Audio Engineering Society, there was an evening haze settling along the city skyline, with starlight behind the Javits Center and the Hudson River. Yet the last night in Manhattan turned into a clear one. Registrations were reportedly up this year for the AES Show, with the opening ceremony on Day 1 at full capacity, occupying all 300 theater seats, and upwards of 6,000 visitors to the convention during the three days.

Unveiled at the 2023 AES Conference in New York, the new Imersiv D1 Digital-to-Analog Converter is the first product from a new brand created by Millennia founder John La Grou, and the first to introduce to the market his approach to multi-path technology. The results of years of research and development, his triple-patented Imersiv D1 DAC explores a multi-path architecture to achieve a breakthrough dynamic range performance of 162dB, broadband, unweighted.
