Who we are

…A team of audiophile music lovers with high sonic aspirations and large music libraries, which explains our fixation with extracting the last bit out of our music files.

The founding team comprises an inspired engineer with a proven track-record in digital audio circuits design and exceptional research into power supply design, two top-level corporate executives, and an IT company of security & home automation offerings.

Core Team

Vassilis Tounas, VP

Chief Designer
An award-winning pioneer in circuit design, Vassilis is extraordinarily creative; he put together his first project — a FM transmitter — aged 14, and his own automation chip a few years later. Vassilis studied electronic engineering in Athens and, early on, discovered his avid interest in audio applications. This led him to focus his professional career in audio and video; he designed midi peripherals for Amiga (an erstwhile hardware constructor in the designs 80s), a few years later he built his first DAC in 1990.

In recent years Vassilis began keenly researching the chip technologies, power supply applications, and components, and how these affect sound. The results of this on-going pursuit are implemented in all Ideon Audio devices and, lately, culminated in the Absolute Suite front-end.
