That was a great night. Immediately after Janis, I played Ravel’s two Mélodies hébraïques, sung by the great mezzo Cecilia Bartoli on her wonderful 30-year-old recital Chant D’Amour: Mélodies Françaises, with pianist Myung-Whun Chung (16/44.1 FLAC, Decca/Qobuz). I’d played this album many times in CD format in my prestreaming days, but I’d never heard any system maintain such a firm, effortless hold on the mezzo-soprano’s voice when she opens and darkens her tone to emphasize the intense prayerful longing at the heart of “Kaddish,” the Jewish prayer for the dead. The opportunity this system offered to appreciate the charge conveyed by the undertones in Bartoli’s voice was remarkable.Let me not forget the startling experience of listening to the vehemence in Unsuk Chin’s šu for Sheng and Orchestra, recorded live by Wu Wei and the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted almost 20 years later by the same Myung-Whun Chung (footnote 5) (24/44.1 FLAC MQA, Deutsche Grammophon/Tidal). Want to revel in power as well as beauty? Try some heavy-duty orchestral fare through the M10s.

Control is handled via a four-button interface: power, function, and volume up/down. It works, but the system leans heavily on long-press combinations and provides little intuitive feedback, which makes it less friendly than most modern app-based setups. The absence of a companion app is refreshing in principle, but in practice it makes configuration more cumbersome than it needs to be.
Setting up WiFi requires connecting to the headphone’s temporary access point and configuring it through a browser interface. It avoids app dependency, which is a legitimate design choice, but the experience feels more than a little archaic. Once configured, automatic reconnection works reliably – a small but welcome convenience.
Bluetooth performance is excellent. LDAC delivers stable, high-quality streaming, though the lack of aptX Lossless and multi-device support does limit flexibility. The absence of a microphone further reduces its usefulness for anyone hoping to double this up as a work headset.

dCS Varèse Transport CD/SACD transport Review

This performance was matched by the better streaming services, as was the sound of the all-star AngelHeaded Hipster tribute to Marc Bolan [BMG 538605850]. Joan Jett’s ‘Jeepster’ lacked the impetus of the original but had a brief, killer, guitar stab, while Lucinda Williams’ take on ‘Life’s A Gas’ was bonkers, but superbly focused. One possible advantage of the disc? Streaming services don’t have the set’s overblown version of ‘Get It On’ by U2 and Elton John – although on reflection that’s perhaps a mercy.
The Transport fought back with its rendition of Vivaldi’s ‘Violin Concerto in A major’ [The Trondheim Concertos; 2L 2L-172-SABD]. The stream via Tidal matched the CD playback, but the SACD layer opened up the sound, making even more of the reverberant church acoustic in this exemplary recording by label founder Morten Lindberg
Hidizs MP145 PRO Review
April 24, 2026 § Leave a comment
I did my standard 24-hour burn-in for review units by leaving the MP145 PRO playing at a moderate volume continuously, using a DAP I don’t use often.
For the sources, I used my iBasso DC-Elite and MUSE HiFi M6 Double DAC amplifiers, with my OnePlus 13 Android phone and Sony DAP as the music source, and the FiiO M15s DAP, using either UAPP or PowerAmp music player Apps. No EQ or any sound enhancement programs were used.
There are noticeable differences in sound among the three included nozzles; the red nozzle is the darkest-sounding, while the silver nozzle is the most forward-sounding. The rose gold nozzle sits in between.
