Few electronics engineers can boast a CV and reputation as esteemed as Rainer Finck’s. In the mid-’80s, his career got off to a flyer as an application engineer at Philips Semiconductors, where he helped develop the original Bitstream Conversion method, which primarily paved the path for SACD and DSD.
The 90s saw Finck take his digital audio expertise to Marantz, where for 30 years he designed and engineered several of the brand’s most famous products, alongside fellow Marantz legend, the late Ken Ishiwata.
