Dynavox DynaStation CD player

Who can tell me what happened with the German company Dynavox that manufactured DynaStation I and II CD players, pre- and power amplifiers? I believe that Chinese made Dynavox VR-70 EL-34 based amplifier ahs nothing to do with it.

Is this company out of business? In 2006, their web site was www.musicconenction.de
Now their ex-president and designer Roman Gross is offering a Philips-based CD player and some cables...

The German Dynavox doesn't exist anymore since the beginning of 2009. The market (at least here in Germany) including eBay had become inundated with cheap Chinese products of, erm, let us call it very debatable quality, that unashamedly took a hike and at the same time badly tainted the Dynavox brand's reputation.

Messrs. Moning and Gross pulled the plug. Moning now heads the new company DynamiKKs!, which can be considered the successor to Dynavox, also in terms of support for Dynavox products (mostly the speakers and the DynaStation, see attached link for full list). Gross is known for the Philips cdp mods and also supports some old Dynavox products (mostly amps, see link)

I had a Dynavox Dynastation II (USD $7k) one of the top 2 best CD players I have ever heard period. That thing was phenomenally good. I moved on to my mac mini as a music server into a Bidat Plus and an MSB Power Dac.

The Dynastation was a well designed and built superb sounding player. I think its lack of remote control and lack of display hurt its chances of success in the marketplace.
