Thrax ENYO MK2

Bulgaria flag

The ENYO MK2 pairs holographic imaging with natural timbre, delivering rich tube texture, clean transient energy and an unforced musical flow. hi-fi+ admired its detail, timing and fluidity, while The Absolute Sound praised its revealing neutrality and realistic soundstage. Its modular DAC, streaming and phono options make this a remarkably complete high-end hub.

Pros

Exceptionally solid, dimensional imaging with realistic, involving soundstage depth.

Combines rich tube body and natural instrumental tone with strong detail, timing and low-grain treble.

High-quality modular digital, streaming and phono architecture creates a cohesive one-box system.

Luxury-standard construction with premium components, custom transformers and long-life engineering.

Cons

Its 50W output and deep-bass authority demand careful partnering with reasonably efficient loudspeakers.

The phono stage is capable but less accomplished than the onboard DAC, with limited user-adjustable loading and gain flexibility.

Small, unlabeled controls and a dim, menu-driven display can make setup less intuitive.

What Reviewers Are Saying

"I’ve purchased the review sample to be one of our reference components; it’s that good."

— TONEAudio MAGAZINE

SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 93/100

Reviewers find the Enyo unusually revealing and spacious, combining tube-like body and texture with a notably neutral, unforced presentation. It is highly engaging with suitably efficient loudspeakers, while its 50-watt output makes speaker matching important for very deep bass at high levels.

Transparency Resolution

94/100

The Absolute Sound calls the Enyo “very revealing,” citing detailed differentiation among instruments and voices as well as strong low-level and percussion resolution. TONEAudio also reports a very low noise floor, while hi-fi+ praises its ability to bring out detail and timing exceedingly well.

Tonal Balance Musicality

93/100

The presentation is described as clean and neutral across line, phono, and digital inputs, without added treble hardness or artificial emphasis. At the same time, hi-fi+ and TONEAudio hear appealing tube-derived richness, body, harmonic texture, and a relaxed musical flow that encourages long listening sessions.

Dynamics

91/100

Reviewers hear convincing impact, open delivery, good bass articulation, and strong composure on dense recordings. The Enyo can play loudly and dynamically with efficient loudspeakers, though The Absolute Sound advises against pairing it with inefficient or power-hungry designs when very deep bass is demanded at high volume.

Soundstage Imaging

94/100

hi-fi+ describes imaging as exceptionally solid and almost holographic. The Absolute Sound hears exceptional soundstage realism with complex recordings, and TONEAudio reports a large presentation in all three dimensions.

Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.

Build Quality

95/100

Construction receives emphatic praise: The Absolute Sound found luxury-standard workmanship, carefully laid-out circuit boards, top-quality components, and engineering intended for a long operating life. TONEAudio likewise found premium parts, custom C-core transformers, protective tube cages, and workmanship it considers built to last.

Features Connectivity

95/100

The Enyo is comprehensively equipped with RCA and XLR analogue inputs, MM/MC phono capability with selectable loading, home-theater bypass, and an upgradable digital/network section. Its digital provision includes USB, coaxial, optical, AES/EBU, Ethernet streaming, Bluetooth with aptX support, DSD playback, and Roon-ready functionality.

Value for Money

92/100

At roughly $12,500-$15,000 depending on configuration, the Enyo is clearly a luxury purchase, but The Absolute Sound concludes that its quality lives up to the price. TONEAudio considers the modular approach and reduced cable requirement meaningful benefits, and purchased its review sample as a reference component; hi-fi+ particularly rates the digital section highly, while finding the phono stage less exceptional.

Manufacturer's Description — Thrax

The Thrax Enyo packs all of the above optimized to interface to each other in a single bulletproof chassis with timeless design to deliver the sound you want with the features you need without the clutter and unnecessary expense.


The power amplifiers used in Enyo are a completely new design based on our research over the last 10 years, with a fully differential 3-stage architecture.


The output stage uses the rare arrangement of cathode feedback while retaining the ultra-linear connection customary for military pentodes. Driving this output stage called for the development of a unique front end circuit accommodating positive grid swing. DC-coupled tube amplifiers are rare but Enyo uses only a single capacitor in the signal path delivering that “triode’ magic without the usual “tube color”. 


The power supply for the amplifier uses choke filtering to guarantee pitch black backgrounds and freedom from power supply modulation. Those are features rarely seen in anything other than top quality tube monoblocks. Autobiasing makes tube replacement a breeze.


The preamplifier in Enyo is our newly developed input board handling the input selection and volume control duties. The signal path is fully differential with transformer isolation for the inputs. Ground switching prevents any interaction between components connected via RCAs as it is intended for use in the average household with no dedicated power lines . The preamplifier board now hosts our MM/MC phono stage with menu selectable MM/MC and cartridge loading making the Enyo a top analog performer. The input board has its dedicated analog and digital power supplies totally independent from the power amplifiers, making it a complete world class preamplifier in the same box. The large LCD screen keeps you informed of the current settings easily read from your listening chair. 


For Home Theatre integration we have added a “bypass” feature allowing you to use the Enyo as your speakers’ power amp including a screen dimming function not to distract you while watching a movie. And on top of that it can be programmed to use with your favorite remote reducing clutter on the table.


The optional DAC extends the input range of the preamplifier by accommodating all modern digital interfaces - AES, SPDIF, Toslink, USB, Ethernet and Bluetooth. It hosts a 32bit/768kHz/ DSD256 dac. The dac itself is discrete build around switched resistors and dedicated power supply making it yet another separate component in the same box. The streaming module supports multiple protocols, sample rates and signal resolutions up to 32bit/384k and DSD256. It is Roon Ready.


Enyo is a way of getting rid of cables, multiple remotes and boxes scattered across the room, so when we say it is a modular audiophile system we mean it. Zero compromise with no cable clutter and extra space. Each module optimized to interface with the other in the system guaranteeing synergy of the highest level. 


Enyo is all you ever wanted distilled  - audiophile essence in a box.
