First excerpts:
"Revox is undoubtedly one of the most reputable HiFi brands of our time. Anyone who has ever owned a Revox product knows why. For the engineers from the Black Forest, the best possible sound reproduction has been a top priority for decades. This also applies to other brands, but Revox is not "just" satisfied with that. In addition to the highest quality music reproduction, the in-house products must meticulously fulfill two other important criteria: a Revox product must be understated, yet also sophisticated in design. And it must be easy to use. ..."
"...The user favorites function is a special feature in the HiFi world and has been patented by Revox. This allows four user profiles with individual favorites to be stored in the M500 and individual home pages to be created for each user in the app. In practice, this means that each user profile can first be given its own individual name. Behind the name, e.g. "Klaus", individual settings can then be saved. This could be a list of one's favorite DAB stations or a favorite Spotify playlist. If, on the other hand, the user "Elvira" is selected, other, also previously individually stored, presets are provided. But that's not all: if, for example, a multiroom setup of several M300/M500 devices has been set up, four additional user profiles can be stored per device. The one-time setup of the user presets is done via the smartphone app already briefly described and is child's play. ..."
"Conclusion
With the M500, Revox consistently continues on its chosen path. The sound, of course, is paramount. At the same time, however, the design and operating concept must also be pioneering. All of this has been absolutely achieved with this half-size streaming amp, as I was able to ascertain in the first short test at Revox headquarters. Actually, you don't need more than a pair of loudspeakers to immediately get started audiophilely. However, since the M500 also offers connectivity to turntables, CD players, televisions and other analog and digital sources, it could also be a real recommendation for die-hard HiFi fans who have previously had little use for more compact audio components. ..."
