What reviewers think
Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.
What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Our take on the brand
StormAudio's ISP processors function more like computers than traditional preamp/processors, focusing on all-digital processing and minimal digital-to-analog conversions to preserve signal purity. Designed specifically for custom home theater integrators, their processors feature advanced bass management for any speaker configuration and were the first to fully incorporate Dirac Live Active Room Treatment for superior room correction.
