Aurender Flow V1000 – DAC / Amplifier Review

February 7, 2015 Comments Off on Aurender Flow V1000 – DAC / Amplifier Review

” Aurender have came from relative obscurity to produce a product which I am pretty sure is about to light the audiophile world on fire. The Chord Hugo set the path last year for this sort of product and Aurender have made something that sounds every bit as impressive but massively undercutting its price by around $1000. The sound is excellent, matching many other high-end units and the decision to include a slot for SSD up to 1TB is genius especially in a world of paltry drives included with laptops. ”

” The bass guitar in Morrissey’s ‘I’m Not Sorry’ [Attack Records] can often result in muddied bass that degenerates into boom. Thankfully the Scout casts aside the shortcomings presumed of unipivot tonearm designs by confronting the track’s bottom-end head-on and determinedly keeping everything in check. The resulting bass notes were convincingly low while sounding taut and free of unnatural overhang, adding to the track’s sense of power and pace.”

” Recordings that sound gritty on Sennheiser Momentum headphones will tear your ears off with the Noble 4s. Play the good stuff — Radiohead, Aphex Twin or the “Gravity” soundtrack — and you won’t question the Noble 4’s superiority over comparably priced in-ear headphones.”

” The track sounds big, bold – even quite boisterous. There’s serious weight and power on show, as wave after wave of orchestral attack crashes down on the listener.”
