Dan Clark Audio - Noire X
NOIRE X™ updates our iconic AEON 2 NOIRE by integrating DCA’s state-of-the-art Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System™ (AMTS™) with an improved driver, all carefully wrapped in a gorgeous ergonomically-enhanced design. NOIRE X’s dramatic black-on-black aesthetic, improved ear pads, self-adjusting headband, and Gorilla Glass 3 clad cups sumptuously hint at the numerous exciting upgrades within, all designed to maximize your listening pleasure. With NOIRE X, DCA sets a new standard in midrange headphone performance, comfort, and value!
Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS)
Perhaps the most important feature of NOIRE X is the addition of DCA’s critically-acclaimed AMTS tuning system, previously found only in our top-of-the-line Stealth, Expanse, E3, and Corina, headphones.
Truly a revolution in acoustic engineering, AMTS uses advanced metamaterial design concepts to shape the system frequency response while simultaneously eliminating high-frequency standing waves, which are responsible for the synthetic-sounding high frequencies are found in all too many headphones.
By eliminating these standing waves, NOIRE X with AMTS delivers remarkably balanced, nuanced, and airy treble-free of the fatiguing artifacts that diminish your listening experience.
Gorilla Glass
NOIRE X is a stunning yet understated headphone, from the stitched headband to the all-new Gorilla Glass 3 finish on the cups. Gorilla Glass 3 is a thin sheet of alkali-aluminosilicate that makes the glass stiffer and more scratch and break-resistant than conventional glass formulations.
NOIRE X’s striking minimalist aesthetic is completed with the tone-on-tone understated NOIRE X logo.
Key features include:
Meze - 105 AER

I have had the good fortune of having The Source AV do all my AV since they started in 1998. They even did all the AV when I built my new home. The Source uses first rate equipment and customizes the experience for your needs and home. The install is clean, quick, and very professional. Jason Lord understands this high end world, explains it well, and has a good eye on the future too. The Lord brothers make sure you have a custom experience and I'm always blown away after they've completed my AV projects. Their prices, quick service, and professionalism make me a repeat customer for more than a decade. I would highly recommend The Source AV Design Group.

I've taken a few trips here and one thing you'll notice about Jason is that he's really passionate about AV. His knowledge far surpasses many so-called "experts" I've spoken to at other shops. One shop even told me "If you try it here, you better buy it here." Seriously.
I never felt like he was selling me something I didn't need or want. If anything he and his crew went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed to properly evaluate the gear. Tell him what you like and he or his friendly staff will direct you to the products most aligned with your needs. Wayne helped me out with a few cables and that guy was very attentive and helpful. I've never had that level of customer service at any audio shop. Period.

I don't think I could have had a better experience. I am so glad I went here. It was a bit of a trip for me, but worth the drive above and beyond. I'll certainly be back. When I send an e-mail question, I get a response in short order. Professionalism, customer service and knowledge are the order of the day.
Top-notch company, whether you just want to try out some headphones, or are looking for a multi-million-dollar home theater setup, or anything in between.
