Here's the info on the Multichannel DSD demos at next weekend's big AXPONA audio show in the Chicago area.
If you're attending AXPONA - or live in the Chicago area - definitely worth stopping by and talking with George Klissarov from exaSound and Ted Brady (Ted_B here on QQ)

Multichannel for Audiophiles
During AXPONA 2019 in Suite 658


Presentations by: George Klissarov (exaSound) & Ted Brady (NativeDSD Music)
in collaboration with Magnepan and Parasound

exaSound and NativeDSD, in a Multichannel show room setup, will excite you with a flood of 3D spatial cues, stunning detail and immersive realism.
What better way to demonstrate what it can do than selections from NativeDSD Music?
Selected by NativeDSD Managing Director Jared Sacks and demonstrated by Technical Advisor Ted Brady in partnership with exaSound’s George Klissarov.

“Creating a life-like multichannel music presentation requires the alignment of all elements of the sound-processing chain, from the recording studio microphones to the playback equipment in the listening room. exaSound and NativeDSD have teamed with Magnepan and Parasound to build a showroom around shared philosophy and design principles – a simple and short signal path, minimal processing and an aim for natural, dynamic and detailed sound.” – George Klissarov, exaSound

exaSound will be unveiling 3 new products and will be demonstrating them in a multichannel setup:

  • exaSound e38 Mark II 8-channel DAC – an upgrade of the e38 DAC – Stereophile Recommended Class A+ component
  • exaSound Gamma Music Server – offering the best proprietary and open-source digital audio technologies in one compact component
  • exaSound Sigma Streamer
Amplification: Parasound A51 5-channel power amplifier
Speakers: Front – Magnepan 3.7i Rear – Magnepan 1.7i

The DSD Music in Suite 658: Some of the top-selling Multichannel DSD recordings at the NativeDSD Music store from LSO Live, Cobra Records, IsoMike, Channel Classics, Groove Note Records, Challenge Jazz, 2L, Yarlung Records, Sketti Sandwich Productions, Aliud Records and Just Listen Records are available in Suite 658 for the demonstrations in full 5 channel DSD sonics.

Nice.
Wonder how many "purists" will snort and poo-poo MCH as a gimmick.
I say, fizz them.

For those who attend the demos, I think they will be impressed with the Multichannel DSD music in the room.
Definitely worth checking out for show attendees. Not to mention some serious Surround Chat with George and Ted, two big Surround fans!
 
Let us know Brian if any pictures or YouTube is released of this DSD MCH event is released.
My jet is down for the weekend ;)

Sorry to hear about your jet. :)

I'll check with George K and Ted_B to see if they are planning to take some photos of the event.
Hopefully they will attract some good crowds for the big Multichannel DSD demos and New exaSound product intros next weekend.

Yes, we will be taking photos. If we can get a quiet moment, we can try to record the sound in 3D. With 5 Magnepan speakers, the room will be like Stonehenge.
