Ultimate Series: The Epitome of High Performance Audio

A Complete Audio System Designed by IL WON LEE

Introducing the Ultimate series, a high performance audio system that combines elegance, functionality, and cutting-edge technology. Designed by IL WON LEE, this audio system is set to revolutionize the way we experience music.

The Ultimate series was born out of a need for a high performance audio system that truly embodies the concept of modernity. While most electronic designs are becoming simpler and more compact, existing high performance audio devices have failed to keep up with this trend. Determined to bridge this gap, IL WON LEE set out to create a system that not only meets the demands of modern design, but also delivers exceptional audio quality.

What sets the Ultimate series apart is its unique combination of form and function. This complete audio system includes a server, DAC, pre-amplifier, and power amplifier, all housed in a single chassis. The design features a simplified appearance, with a separated top cover from the body, a rubber company logo that adds a touch of warmth, and a switch knob that stands out from the front panel. The white colored OLED display adds a modern and sleek touch to the overall design.

The realization of the Ultimate series is made possible through the use of anodized aluminum material with special gloss control. This not only gives the system a classy appearance, but also ensures durability and longevity.

Technical specifications of the Ultimate series are impressive. Consisting of four different devices, including a network music server with player, a combined DAC and pre-amplifier, a DC power supply, and a D-class power amplifier, this audio system is designed to meet the highest digital standards. It supports features such as 384KHz/32bit, DSD format, various lossless audio file formats, and remote control via an app.

Operating the Ultimate series is a breeze. Simply connect each device using audio signal cables, power cables, and network cables, and establish a home local network connection. Then, use the remote control app on your smart devices to browse and play music effortlessly.

The Ultimate series project, which began in 2012 in Korea, is set to finalize by June 2015. Throughout its development, the design has been exhibited and demonstrated at numerous audio shows worldwide, including CES, Munich High-End, and SIAS.

IL WON LEE's research for the Ultimate series started with a focus on audio products, but expanded to include consumer electronics, cars, and various accessories. By gathering feedback from audiophiles in the industry and incorporating their advice into the design, IL WON LEE was able to create a product that truly meets the needs and desires of music enthusiasts.

One of the biggest challenges in designing the Ultimate series was finding the perfect positioning for each element. IL WON LEE meticulously placed and matched every detail to create a comfortable and classy appearance that is sure to impress.

The Ultimate series has already received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Digital and Electronic Device Design category in 2015. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that demonstrate creativity, resourcefulness, and technical excellence, making a positive impact on quality of life.

With its unique combination of elegance, functionality, and cutting-edge technology, the Ultimate series is set to redefine the way we experience high performance audio. Get ready to immerse yourself in a world of unparalleled sound quality and design.
