A Toast to the Reserved
Every great cellar has its own house style, yet each reserve vintage reveals that character in a different way.
If you were to place Dionysus in EFFECT AUDIO’s cabinet, it would be the bottle that’s always there—the perennial classic you reach for most often. Full-bodied and celebratory, it carries that unmistakable Dionysian intoxication, and for many listeners, it was the first pour that made the name Dionysus truly stick.
Dionysus Reserve 2026, on the other hand, is our 2026 cellar-kept commemorative release—created to mark the success of this iconic IP. It is not here to replace the original, but to show a different side of the same familiar spirit: a rarer expression that brings a luminous shimmer performance. Expect maximum resolution, cleaner separation, sharper definition, and a clearer view into the recording.
Dedicated to every listener who has ever been moved by Dionysus—and to those who know when a rare pour is worth setting aside for the right moment.
Reserved Materials - Refined for DIONYSUS
Dionysus Reserve 2026 (Online Edition) brings together two distinctive conductor materials from our flagship creations.
From CENTURION II
UP-OCC Platinum-Silver Alloy
From LEONIDAS Z
Palladium-Silver Alloy
Together, they bring greater resolution, clearer spatial definition and more precise layering, while preserving the rich and emotionally engaging character of DIONYSUS.
Tasting Notes:
The Body | Structure & Depth
Copper Litz grounds the low end with textured, physical weight, while the Copper-Silver Alloy gives the midrange a smooth, velvety density. Vocals retain the expressive warmth of Dionysus, but are presented with greater composure, definition, and control.
The Bouquet | Luminous & Expressive
The treble opens gradually, much like the bouquet of a fine whisky revealing itself in layers. Silver Litz brings clarity and natural articulation to vocals and strings, while Palladium-Silver Alloy extends the upper registers with a silky, fatigue-free brilliance. The addition of Platinum-Silver Alloy further reveals low-level detail, cleaner air between notes, and greater nuance in harmonic textures.
The Finish | Lingering & Refined
The final character comes from how these five metals are brought together through EFFECT AUDIO’s multi-sized core structures, central solid core design, and hand-braiding process. Their combined effect preserves the warmth and emotional weight of Dionysus while improving image focus, stage depth, and overall coherence. The result is a finish that feels rich yet controlled, spacious without losing intimacy, and refined enough for long, unhurried listening.
Crafted Exclusively for the Reserve
Reserved exclusively for the EFFECT AUDIO online store, this edition features a deep brown Y-split inspired by the rich, mature tones of a cellar-kept vintage. The understated finish gives DIONYSUS RESERVE 2026 a refined and distinctive identity, complementing the cable’s warm yet highly resolved character.
Specially selected for this Online Exclusive edition, the PENTACONN OFC plug introduces high-purity copper at the final connection, lending vocals greater body, warmth, and natural presence while maintaining clean and reliable signal transfer. Together, these details create a discreet yet unmistakably collectible expression of the Reserve.
