Is Qsonix out of business?


I have been attempting to get a simple question answered about my Qsonix 205. No email responses. Today I called; telephone numbers disconnected. I had (the past) presidents cel phone number from past discussions. I called and he told me he had been gone from Qsonix for a year and had no idea what was happening there.

Scary stuff...

Yes it is. See the thread Meridian Sooloos vs Qsonix below for more information.
I am a Qsonix dealer, and I can assist you. The company will most likely be back they have been having a rough time lately.

The good thing is that a tech savy person can service the system.

The Qsonix hardware is really excellent, and we sold numerous units that have always worked well.

Please feel free to contact me.
Scary stuff perhaps, but not surprising. Qsonix gear became obsolete practically the day the iPad was released. Their claim-to-fame was the user interface they developed, but because the ipad is so much better (mpad app) interest in Qsonix declined quickly. When I sold mine I almost had to give it away - no one was interested. Such is life in the world of digital (and Apple).

BTW, I replced my Qsonix with a bryston BDP1 and iPad - it sounds much better, is totally silent and, for playback, more practical to use. The Bryston doesn't offer zones, but I used a separate DAC and did not use the Qsonix for that purpose.

Seasoned,

Qsonix came up with a fantastic Ipad app, and the second generation 205 product has a terrific digital output designed by Wadia.

I would agree that the first generation product was lacking but the 205 is an excellent product, I don't know anyone who actually bought a Qsonix and used the Analog outputs, most Qsonix were purchased as digital transports and with the upsampling set to 192K the sound was fantastic.
