NUPRIME AUDIO 9X Series > HIFI.NL Review

NuPrime Audio is a relatively young audio manufacturer that mainly focuses on the upper middle and top segments of the audio market. Although the company, founded in 2014, has only been around for less than a decade, it has been making a name for itself for years and produces one award-winning hi-fi component after another with, above all, very affordable price tags. Are NuPrime’s devices mainly good for the money, or can they also effortlessly compete with the tough competition?

Even from the first notes, the music from the NuPrime combination is pleasant to the ear. The music reproduction is dynamic, fast and transparent. The bass is characterized by a powerful, well-controlled bass and a solid punch. Thanks to the powerful and, above all, stable power supply section in the power amplifier, we do not upset the amplifier even at higher volumes and everything remains neat, accurate and controlled, no matter how deep the bass goes. In the midrange we experience a beautiful definition and in the high range the reproduction is adorned with subtle detail. The soundstage that this set creates in our space is open and wide. Music comes completely separate from the speakers, while the various elements are positioned razor-sharp in width and, depending on the cabling, also in depth. High-end properties par excellence.

Conclusion
NuPrime has struck gold with the premium and affordable 9X Series. The optics and construction of the compact DAC-9X, STA-9X and Stream-9 hi-fi components are formidable. Thanks to the many features, the equipment level and the available connections, this NuPrime series occupies a unique position.
When it comes to the music experience, it exceeds its peers by a wide margin. The sound quality is phenomenal. As the NuPrime itself indicates: “Beyond Ordinary” and this is not a lie.
