QSA LANEDRI Series

There are a myriad ways of saying a new cable is improving your system. But by saying "this is maybe the FIRST TIME the streaming music sounds better than local storage" is over the top considering his earlier audio purchases. What does first time mean? In other words, he didn't have this feeling when he upgraded his Taiko source, Ansuz switch, Rockna dac. But this is the FIRST time he felt it after he changed to Veridion PC.

I hope this clarifies for u

You are questioning the integrity of the individual who claimed that “This may be the first time I've felt that streaming music sounds better than local storage in my system. Incredible improvement.” You haven’t heard his system so you have no idea of whether or not he was just calling it as he heard it. You haven’t even heard how Veridion can improve a system, so maybe you should wait until you are better informed before you opt for casting aspersions.

Still, that is a bold statement...

Not questioning one way or another...

No doubt. But he also qualified it with the word “may” as in “this may be..”.

Apparently u still don't get where I'm driving at

May I suggest u read them again and if not I'll take the liberty to break it down further for u.

You don't quit, do you? Your point may be perfectly valid and worth repeating after listening to the Discovery gear -- or not, and dropped.

Being skeptical is totally normal—and honestly, it’s the only rational approach these days. We’re all bombarded with information from every possible direction, and in the audiophile world it’s even worse. Marketing hype is everywhere, profit margins are pushed with fancy claims, and every brand seems to promise “game-changing” results with exotic materials or some new “revolutionary” tech. So yeah… skepticism is healthy.

From the early days of this project, a small group of us audiophiles kept getting surprised—and I mean genuinely surprised—by how unexpected the results were. Even years after launching the brand, we’re still having those “wow” moments. At first, the technology wasn’t easy to access because of the cost, but with Veridion we finally managed to break that barrier. The Discovery series is the most affordable way for people to actually test our claims without taking a big financial risk.

And that’s exactly what we’re counting on. Real-world feedback—whether positive or not—is extremely valuable. It helps everyone understand what the tech truly does, and it helps us continue refining and improving.

Of course, the Gamma and Spectra series with Veridion are on a completely different level compared to Discovery, and the Ultimatum Veridion series is basically in its own galaxy in terms of impact.

I don't know him and there's no motivation nor incentive for me to question his integrity. But you can't deny by having such a bold statement will risk his whole impression questionable

Sorry I have to disagree as it seems like u are insinuating something. Don't see anything wrong with me expounding on my initial feedback where Adam doesn't seem to understand where I'm coming from

In order not to digress this further, I'll just make my final statement.

My initial feedback was purely stemmed from an innocent intention to give a reminder that we should all try to give our assessment/opinions as accurate as possible for the betterment of this forum; a public domain. So that all readers can benefit from making an informed decision.

I don't think my tone was offensive from the outset but surprisingly it was able to trigger defensive attitude from some people.

Again, I would like to reiterate I am not skeptical of the products in question, but his overall impression for obvious reason. If not, I wouldnt have ordered it myself.

Anyway kudos to Anas. Of all people, u should be the defensive one but u were not. Yet u displayed high level of understanding and patience in explaining your products and technology and it is also through this episode, I'm able to understand them better. At least for now, there is no reason for me to question your integrity as a manufacturer and I now have more faith in your products.

Just to add a bit of context to all this: since day one, our idea has been to use the forum as the main place to talk with the community and let real users share their impressions and feedback. That’s always been the core of what we do.

Along the way, we’ve also had a few people who refused to even try the products but still took a strong stance against them. Honestly, that’s probably been the toughest part of the journey. It’s hard to understand why someone would reject the idea of testing something before judging it, but we try to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they had bad experiences in the past and ended up closing the door to anything new.

Thankfully, those cases have been very rare—literally fewer than the fingers on one hand.

At the end of the day, I really believe that if you want to be fair to any brand and the effort behind it, you should at least give the product a try before taking a final position.

Before creating this brand, I was doing just fine in another line of business, and I actually let go of all of it to start this journey. The satisfaction of sharing the joy of music through this technology is simply priceless. And honestly, getting to work full-time on what used to be my hobby is a dream come true—I can’t be grateful enough for that.

Every time I receive feedback from someone saying they’re rediscovering their music and feeling that spark again, it takes me back to when I first experienced it myself. I get the same nostalgic flashback and that same goofy, dreamy smile on my face.

Thank you for your words—and honestly, I can’t be thankful enough to everyone who has supported this journey. I also really appreciate those who take the time to share their impressions, even though it’s not always easy to describe in words how this technology impacts their music or video performance. Every bit of feedback means a lot to me.

It never ceases to amaze me how people feel so entitled now that they can say and post whatever they want, without context, and not being respectful of other's opinions. Last time I checked, most of us still live in a free would. We should be thankful for that. Others are not so fortunate.

Anyways, I feel very fortunate to have the equipment I have. And it's all used. The Ansuz gear and cables alone have eye watering MSRP. But I really like what Ansuz brings. Key word...I.

I've known about QSA products and QSAL for some time and I have a few audio friends who have bought QSAL cables. I've even heard them in situ and been impressed with the improvement since the individual upgraded compared to the previous cables they used. It's just that I'm not sure they would bring much more than my current cables and I'm not willing to spend that much money on brand new cables.

Since it was brought up, the Taiko Extreme is an impressive server - again, used and a special deal through an amazing individual who now works at Taiko. Taiko has since released a router, switch, and even better server. I've heard them all. I bought my Ansuz switch used, it serves another purpose for my Ansuz cables, I'm not sure the Taiko router and switch would bring that much to my system, plus the price for new Taiko gear is a lot. The Olympus is way out of my budget.

So like Anas said, if I can bring out the full potential of my system for very little outlay, that's a no brainer to me. To be able to optimize my network at this price is astonishing. And it benefits the video gear in that room too - bonus. I don't have the luxury of a dedicated hifi room.

We all hear differently. Some of us are fortunate, or should I say cursed, that we can hear even the smallest improvements. Whether any of us think it's worth the money is our own personal business.

I don't feed trolls so that's enough from me. The man, and the company, is giving you a money back guarantee. Try for yourself and post your impressions - that's all anyone can ask.

Pushing the noise floor down far enough that you can actually hear how noisy local files are was a huge milestone for us on this journey. Congratulations, Arun, on reaching this level with your setup — and I’m really glad the Discovery series played a part in getting you there.

If you haven’t already, try comparing Redbook streaming vs. Hi-Res. It was honestly eye-opening for us. You can clearly hear how much of the sound’s richness gets lost in the Hi-Res versions. Redbook streaming ends up giving the most natural, lively, and engaging experience overall.



As part of our R&D, we’ve been applying Veridion technology to IPTV boxes as well. What you experienced with the Discovery Veridion cables is just a glimpse of what this technology can do for components. Honestly, there are no words to fully describe how the Veridion-treated IPTV transforms the realism of the picture. It’s absolutely breathtaking — watching TV turns into a true transportation experience.

We’re pushing hard to release the new components we’re developing, and we’re working against the clock to make them available as soon as possible.



Every time a new member discovers the same joy we found for ourselves, that’s how we measure success on this journey. Thank you for sharing your feedback!

There are so many claims out there, and it’s completely natural to be skeptical — especially when bold promises are made by so many brands. And yes, the skepticism only gets stronger when a confidential, proprietary technology is said to transform even a $5 Amazon cable.

But the genuine impact of this technology is exactly what pushed us to start this brand in the first place, and we truly believe that time is always on the side of the truth. When each of us shares our real experience with the Discovery series, it encourages others to give themselves a chance to try it as well.

Yes Anas, I didn't want to bring up the red book vs. high rez music phenomenon because of well, you know, but I noticed this in my system with the QSAL in place.

I was told this by Olympus users and refused to believe it until I heard it.

I'm still shocked that I heard it in my system. I wanted to do some comparisons, which are slightly flawed due to recording, mixing etc., but I will be exploring this more. Unreal.

Arun

(...) Video has also benefited. I could see the effects in 1080p upscaled to 4k but true 4k is the best its ever been. The IPTV boxes compress heavily but the QSAL helps to reduce most of the errors and artifacts. It has to be seen to be believed. (...)

Do you think that the effect is noticeable in a static picture or just in movement?
