Onkyo DAC-HA200 Review
December 23, 2015 Comments Off on Onkyo DAC-HA200 Review
” If you love music and care about the calibre of sound in your cans then the DAC-HA200 is definitely worth the investment. It’s a fabulous headphone amp and DAC, offering an engaging, insightful sound from any source, while the tough aluminium casing and generous socketry live up to the price tag. The only gripes are the faffing about required to play hi-res files from Android devices and the fiddly controls, but otherwise the DAC-HA200 is a terrific portable proposition.”
Mrspeakers ether REVIEW
December 22, 2015 Comments Off on Mrspeakers ether REVIEW
” The project was code-named Dreadnought after the Theta Dreadnought 5-channel home theatre amp I use to this day. It made for a nifty code name. Along the way we were doing research on driver behaviour in closed cups and I came across a knurled planar-driver patent by Bruce Thigpen. I called him to ask if he thought it’d apply for our use. He thought it might and suggested we try It helped but not enough to solve the problem we had. Bruce’s knurling technology basically creased the driver panel to reduce surface oscillations which can cause nonlinear response and distortions. We discovered that if we took the process a lot further by using a deeper form of knurling that permanently deforms and textures the driver surface, we reduced distortion, improved dynamics and extended response at both ends of the spectrum. ”
MARK LEVINSON NO585 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW
December 22, 2015 Comments Off on MARK LEVINSON NO585 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW
The No585 uses an R-2R resistor ladder network for the volume control. This is widely regarded as the best volume control topology out there. Of course, Harman has made improvements to lower the resistance of this circuit and by using special analog switches with very low voltages in routing the currents through the circuit.”

” Audeze has used an exclusive ‘cypher cable’ with an integrated amp, DSP and DAC, which supports 24-bit hi-res audio. The unit on the cable doubles up as a microphone and is Siri compatible, and a 3.5mm cable is available for use with non-Apple devices. Audeze also has balanced cables for Astell & Kern, Pono and Sony PHA-3 players.”

SIMAUDIO MOON NEO 430HA REVIEW
December 21, 2015 Comments Off on SIMAUDIO MOON NEO 430HA REVIEW
” As any good headphone amplifier will have, this has a gain switch, which when using with any high impedance (HD800) or planar magnetics (Audeze and ZMF) has been left on High (20dB) in opposed to low (14dB). It also has a crossfeed option, which like when I have come across before I prefer to leave off. It just seems to make things more distant, not so much open or bigger. Inside the amp itself Sim seem especially proud of the two transformers that make up the oversized power supply and the 8 stages of DC regulation that come with it. Considering there is a Moon range of power supplies it surely seems like they probably have good inkling on how to get power efficiently to a amp stage.”
Jeff Rowland Design Group • Model 825 Stereo Amplifier $32,000 – Review
December 20, 2015 Comments Off on Jeff Rowland Design Group • Model 825 Stereo Amplifier $32,000 – Review
” The Model 825’s sonic profile begins from a very deep well of musical detail that’s free of accompanying noise. It is a model of directness — of neutrality — presenting the music the way it is on the recording with uncommon resolution and purity, and resolving space with singular acuity. And just when you’ve come to appreciate all of this, you realize how liquid and non-electronic it sounds, offering up its gobs of detail with abundant naturalness that at first seems out of place. It is a true connoisseur’s product; beautiful and thoughtfully made, it does its proclaimed job, amplifying a signal, without even a minor issue. It hasn’t just single-handedly redeemed class D for me, but made me take it seriously again, something I would never have imagined without experiencing it for myself.”
