The 2026 Chengdu International Audio Show (CDIAV) officially opened on October 16. Qingdao Aisika Audio & Video Equipment Co., Ltd. brought its high-end Hi-Fi rack brand DARACK Jinzun to multiple booths at the event, showcasing a range of rack products including the Pisces Series and Libra PRO Series. These products provided a stable and clean operating environment for flagship systems from several premium international audio brands, and their on-site performance was widely acclaimed.
I. Yinlianbang Showroom: Pisces Series Racks Showcased Alongside MBL, CANTON, and AVM
In Hall A of Hongtu Mansion at the Yinlianbang Showroom, Germany’s MBL flagship system and a legendary high-end home system were presented together, allowing on-site audiophiles to immerse themselves in classic, reference-grade sound. Germany’s CANTON and AVM jointly built a flagship demonstration system. The main speakers were from CANTON’s Reference Alphal series, delivering a transparent and natural tonal character. The entire source and amplification chain used AVM equipment—the CD 8.3 player, CS 8.3 all-in-one unit, and R5.3 MK2 turntable, complemented by the PH 8.3 phono stage, PA 8.3 preamplifier, MA 8.3 power amplifier, and PC5.3 power conditioner—forming a complete flagship-level front end.
The DARACK Jinzun Pisces Series rack served as the core support structure for the entire system. Its “Vast Galaxy” colorway chassis integrated seamlessly with the AVM amplifiers and complemented them beautifully. The rack is based on nonlinear energy sink (NES) technology as its core theoretical foundation and has been professionally validated by the dynamics research team at Beihang University. It integrates four key principles—mass loading, high-stiffness constraint, damping dissipation, and acoustic impedance mismatch—and, through a composite laminated multi-material structure, upgrades a traditional support rack into an active vibration management platform. The rack achieves a damping ratio of 0.1, efficiently absorbing vibrations and converting them into heat for dissipation, thereby creating a quieter sonic background.
II. JBL Flagship Series Showroom: Libra PRO Series Provides Reliable Support for the Flagship System
The year 2026 marks the 80th anniversary of the JBL brand. In the Harman showroom at the Jinjiang Hall, 1st Floor, Crowne Plaza Chengdu City Center, DARACK Jinzun Hi-Fi racks joined the JBL flagship loudspeaker EVEREST and the Mark Levinson high-end amplification system to present a high-caliber audio feast in which classic and flagship models intertwined and technology and music converged.
The undisputed focal point of the event was the JBL flagship EVEREST, priced at RMB 1.25 million per pair. This ultra-large loudspeaker features a cabinet measuring 1,443 mm in height, 992 mm in width, and 694.5 mm in depth. Its front baffle is nearly one meter wide, and its highly distinctive large horn and imposing cabinet structure deliver a powerful visual impact and fully convey a flagship presence. The amplification lineup was equally luxurious. The Mark Levinson ML-50 is a limited-edition monaural power amplifier created for the brand’s 50th anniversary, delivering 425 W per channel into 8Ω and 850 W into 4Ω. It adopts Pure Path circuit design, and its glass top cover, internal lighting, and U.S. design and manufacturing background further enhance its collectible value. It was paired with the No.526 stereo preamplifier, which features a dual-mono structure and combines digital decoding with Pure Phono phono-stage functionality. The setup also included a full suite of flagship Canadian emmLabs products—the TXi CD transport, DA2i DAC, PREi preamplifier, and MTRX2 V2 monaural power amplifiers.
The DARACK Jinzun Libra PRO Series Hi-Fi rack provided reliable support for the entire flagship equipment setup. Featuring a high-precision composite damping structure and solid alloy construction, and tuned with nonlinear energy sink (NES) vibration isolation technology, the rack absorbs subtle mechanical vibration energy and converts it into heat for dissipation. This effectively reduces environmental resonance interference, providing a stable and clean operating environment for the equipment and helping to deliver the ultimate in sound quality.
III. Bowers & Wilkins Showroom: Libra PRO Racks Exemplify the Flagship Partnership
The Bowers & Wilkins showroom presented the latest-generation 800 Series Diamond D5 series. As the culmination of the brand’s 60 years of loudspeaker development, the D5 series continues and further advances its signature technologies: the diamond tweeter delivers extremely low distortion and refined high frequencies; the Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top further isolates vibration interference; and the Continuum cone midrange, together with a newly reinforced structure, gives the sound both purity and texture. The Classé DELTA series amplifiers showcased alongside are renowned for their abundant and effortless driving capability, and their pairing with B&W flagship loudspeakers is regarded as a classic combination in which the “sound philosophies are highly aligned”—flagship loudspeakers × flagship amplification, whose true merits can only be heard in person.
DARACK Jinzun paired the system with a Libra PRO Series Hi-Fi rack in a Flowing Silver finish. The rack was developed by the whole-machine structural systems and dynamics research team at Beihang University. It incorporates the core “nonlinear energy sink (NES) vibration isolation technology,” adopts a sandwich-damped structural board design and brass–carbon steel gradient material interlocking technology, and can efficiently absorb subtle mechanical vibrations and convert them into heat for dissipation. This effectively reduces environmental resonance interference, provides a stable and clean operating environment for the entire audio system, and enables each component to perform at its best.
IV. Technical Foundation: Nonlinear Energy Sink Technology Upgrades Traditional Racks into an Active Vibration Management Platform
Running through all three showrooms is the same core technology system from DARACK Jinzun. Whether the Pisces Series or the Libra PRO Series, both take “nonlinear energy sink (NES) vibration isolation technology” as their theoretical core. Developed and professionally validated by the dynamics research team at Beihang University, the technology integrates four key principles—mass loading, high-stiffness constraint, damping dissipation, and acoustic impedance mismatch—and, on the basis of a composite laminated multi-material structure, builds an active vibration management platform.
At the Chengdu International Audio Show, DARACK Jinzun empowered multiple international high-end flagship systems with a stable and clean operating environment, enabling each component to perform at its best. This once again confirms the high-end Hi-Fi principle that “good sound also requires a good rack.”
