As Ideon Audio celebrates its 10th anniversary in the high-end audio sector today and before the launch of a completely new Ayazi model this fall, we decided to create something truly special and collectible: The Ayazi X Anniversary Edition.

Only 20 units of the Ayazi X Anniversary will be produced worldwide. Nineteen of these will be available to customers, while one device will be permanently included in IDEON Audio's museum collection as part of the company's history.

As shown in the attached photos, the Ayazi X Anniversary features a distinctive "X" on the front panel, and each device carries the developer's signature on the back. It will become a true collector's edition.

Far more than just a visual update, the Ayazi X Anniversary integrates selected technologies and components directly derived from the Absolute DAC. These include the Active Bridges technology, a transformer design at Absolute level, premium capacitors in critical areas of the design, as well as the same internal wiring made of purest silver (Ultra Pure Silver) used in the Absolute DAC – elevating performance to a whole new level.

The result is an Ayazi like we've never built before: faster, more organic, more dynamic, emotionally captivating, and undoubtedly a collector's item.
