SHAAR Deluxe available at the online shop NOW!   Deluxe Version improve and fine tune the parts of the regulator. It provide the better performance and darker background.   "Few days ago, we did a shootout between Shaar Deluxe vs Sotm with the additional clock module. The cost for Shaar Deluxe is approx $300, and Sotm with clock module is approx $1000. All are the approximate from the exchange rates at time. As always - there are 3 SNAers at the gtg, and whether they will provide their observations on the day here...?!? Furthermore - the venue wasn't mine and so the server, audio setup, hence would be inappropriate of me posting any photos without consent. So no photos this time. My observations: Shaar has better bottom ends' definition, timing, and articulation. The mid was very engaging, nice timbre, with weight and body without compromise the clarity nor transparency. The micro-dynamic and detail, I found to be on the parity which was concurred to another member, however, one member did not. I must stress, without a side by side, the critical evaluations at pretty much in same session, and under the one setup, I could live with either." - Chanh @ Stereo.net   http://www.stereo.net.au/forums/topic/82802-building-the-idealish-music-server/?page=80

Great feedback of the SHAAR from the users....    "I thought I had reached a pinnacle with the server and was quite satisfied and then thought I should try the Clones Audio Shaar USB card. I then compared it to SOtm and IMO, we have a new winner. The Shaar USB simply sounds better in all critical areas IMO and is much cheaper as well." - Tasso "The Clones Audio SHAAR pcie card is substantially better than stock USB out on a PC. For $300 I think this upgrade is a must for those who use a music server of PC setup." - agisthos@ Stereo.net     "I just installed them in my pc and the sound came from my headphones is just mind-blowning. I didn't expect it changes the sound in such a dramatic way, it's like replacing my dac with a high-end CD player!So open and revealing." - Edwards (Hong Kong)
