Ideon Audio is presenting the Ideon Audio Ayazi Max DAC in a world premiere at Audio Video Show Warsaw 2026, alongside the brand’s new flagship Axiom DAC and its Nous Streamer/DAC. The three digital audio products are being demonstrated in separate rooms during the show, giving visitors a chance to hear how each one approaches digital playback differently.
Ideon Audio Ayazi Max DAC: the world premiere
The Ayazi Max DAC is the headline debut of Ideon Audio’s Warsaw stand, positioned as the new flagship within the long-running Ayazi line that the Athens-based manufacturer has built its reputation on since the original Ayazi and the later Ayazi mk2. As a world premiere, full specifications and pricing for the Ayazi Max have not yet been published; Ideon Audio is using the show itself as the product’s first public outing.
The Ayazi Max will be demonstrated separately from the Nous and Axiom, giving show visitors the chance to hear Ideon Audio’s three current digital platforms in distinct systems rather than a single combined display. Anyone wanting to audition the Ideon Audio Ayazi Max DAC in person can do so on the show floor throughout the event, before any official specifications are released more widely.
Ideon Audio Nous Streamer/DAC
The Nous combines a network streamer, a fully balanced DAC and an analogue preamplifier in a single chassis, following a fully balanced signal path from input to output and offering two balanced analogue inputs. Digital connections include USB Audio, optical and coaxial S/PDIF, while its network streaming side supports Qobuz Connect, Spotify, AirPlay, UPnP, Audirvana, local library playback, NAS rendering and Roon Bridge.
Ideon Audio built the Nous around its own Real-TimeCore streaming architecture, with separate power regulation for the unit’s digital and analogue sections, each fed by its own oversized transformer. The Nous is being demonstrated in Room Belweder 1 at the Radisson Blu Sobieski Hotel.
Ideon Audio Axiom DAC
Rounding out the stand is the Axiom DAC, Ideon Audio’s standalone flagship converter, built as a multi-chassis design that separates its digital, analogue and power sections. The Axiom is shown separately from the Nous and Ayazi Max, letting visitors compare Ideon Audio’s different digital architectures side by side across the show rather than in a single room.
The Ideon Audio Ayazi Max DAC debut is one of several AVS Warsaw 2026 premieres bestofhighend.com is covering this week, alongside Audio Analogue’s new ABsolute 3.0 integrated amplifier.

Ideon Audio has not yet confirmed pricing or a release date for the Ayazi Max DAC, as the Warsaw show marks its first public appearance; further details are expected to follow via Ideon Audio’s own website. The Nous Streamer/DAC and Axiom DAC are both current production models, available through Ideon Audio’s dealer network.
