    STREAM III General Environmental Issues Leema operates a 100% recycling program. All waste materials generated as part of the manufacturing process at Leema’s headquarters are recycled via a licensed specialist company. Although Leema electronics operate in standby mode as opposed to being fully switched off, the power drain has been optimised to a negligible level.
  • Page 7: Introduction

    A notable feature of this product is Leema’s latest Quad-DAC converter technology. In the Leema Stream III, this topology uses four 24bit/192KHz digital-to-analogue converters feeding highly optimised, balanced-input analogue filters. The net result is a CD player with analogue-like midband and high frequencies having great space and depth without the usual harshness associated with digital recording formats.
