Koss ESP-950 headphone Review
February 15, 2016 Comments Off on Koss ESP-950 headphone Review
” he headphone and amp are mostly made of plastic, so I was disappointed they don’t have the solid feel or look of high-end designs. On the upside, I found the ESP-950 comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The tiny E-90 amp measures a scant 4.3 by 7 by 2.5 inches and works with its wall-wart power supply or the included battery-power supply for portable use. You also get a 6-f”
oot headphone extension cable, and a handsomely designed leather carry bag for the headphone, amp, and accessories. The bundled price of the ESP-950 headphone and E-90 amp is $1,000 (the headphones aren’t sold separately).

Astell & Kern AK380 Music Player Review
February 14, 2016 Comments Off on Astell & Kern AK380 Music Player Review
” High-resolution audio raised the ante. Madeleine Peyroux’s vocal in her cover of “Gentle on My Mind” (44.1-kHz/24-bit) was holographically imaged. In Led Zeppelin’s “Dancing Days” (96/24), the snarling multitracked guitars didn’t obscure the softer cymbal hits. The high-frequency sounds of chiming percussion in “Ben’s Farm in Vermont” (192/24), from David Chesky’s The Zephyrtine: A Ballet Story, were more open and fully resolved with the Sennheiser than with the Oppo, which softened them, or the Sony, which etched them. While the Sennheiser couldn’t provide full bass extension for the opening pedal in the Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony (176.4/24), the A&K had enough low-end control to firm up Aston Barrett’s line in Bob Marley and the Wailers’ “Satisfy My Soul” (96/24) and enough midbass definition to capture Roger Glover’s distinctive growl in Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water” (96/24).”

Antipodes Audio DS music server review
February 14, 2016 Comments Off on Antipodes Audio DS music server review
” The Antipodes DS’ cosmetics are subtle and sleek, with minimal external controls. It’s a compact but hefty, squared-off unit encased in a matte-finish aluminum alloy with barely visible heat-sinks protruding from each side. The internal CD ripper’s access slot is visible near the top of the faceplate. Once powered up via a switch-mode power supply, a front panel button brings the DS to life; its blue light also glows from within the DS’s internals through a see-through top plate. Antipodes recommends leaving the unit on 24/7″

” Lastly, the Questyle has an extremely low noise floor, which helps boost its overall dynamic range. I listened to Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture (Telarc CD converted to FLAC) and found it to be extremely dynamic and detailed. The background was extremely quiet even through the sensitive RBH in-ear monitors and the Audeze headphones with their extended high-frequency capabilities, which tend to reveal less-than-stellar noise floors.

Stoner Acoustics EGA headphone Amp $450 – Review
February 13, 2016 Comments Off on Stoner Acoustics EGA headphone Amp $450 – Review
” At USD450, the Stoner Acoustics EGA is a steal, especially if you already have a full balanced DAC and headphone to pair with, if you don’t have Stoner Acoustics is very happy to sell you their excellent EGD (Full balanced DAC). The sound quality is like what a good headphone amplifier should do, a neutral and balanced sound signature, yes, I think that an ‘audiophile type of bass boost’ feature should have been included, but no headphone amplifier at this price range really did this, so no complain here, I will have to stress that again, the bass is not lacking, it is very clean and tight.”
