Loud & Clear Glasgow

We had a fantastic day last week with David, Ali and Mark from dCS Audio and Gavin from Absolute Sounds Ltd. where we showcased dCS's world leading digital streaming products and also their Lina headphone system. Thank you to everyone that came along. The presentation was really cool, and if you were looking for some of the tracks played, Ali has put together a Qobuz playlist: https://lnkd.in/ekQfDeiz Thanks to Odoom Brothers for the 🎥 skills.
