” The first part of the Nocturne in C Minor is slow and contemplative. Here, Ott’s highly emotive phrasing and touch were convincingly conveyed by the beautiful attack-decay and sustain-release characteristics of her notes through the TIDAL speakers. I thought it a real shame that the Nocturne in C Minor was not performed in its entirety on this track as the complete work also showcases a pianist’s pyrotechnic virtuosity. Nevertheless, I listened to The Chopin Project uninterrupted from beginning to end a number of times, which was exceptional considering the digital musical cornucopia I now had at my fingertips. I am certain that the Piano Diacera G2’s honest re-creation of the stark beauty of this minimalist music is a major reason why I enjoy it so much.”

“The Avior II’s treble was silky smooth, except that that implies that there was an identifiable character to the high frequencies, and the Rockports had no sound of their own in this region. Cymbals sounded maximally different from each other, and violins were neither too rosiny nor too dull.

“Under the deal, all Oppo smartphones, including the recently launched R11 and R11 Plus phones, will be equipped with Dirac Power Sound, a speaker-optimization solution said to deliver “clearer, more natural sound with richer detail and a tighter, more powerful bass.” The system is said to enable small transducers to reproduce the best sound quality possible at the highest volume by leveraging key technologies, such as frequency and impulse response correction and bass optimization, that Dirac has used in the premium automobile and hi-fi markets for years.”
EMM Labs DA2 Reference Digital-to-Analog Converter Review
August 1, 2017 § 1 Comment
“The main reason that Ed Meitner prefers single-bit to multibit DACs is that the former are inherently linear. In a single-bit converter, any value is made up by adding or subtracting the same small value many times. That value is set by a single resistor. In contrast, multibit converters build up values by adding different combinations of smaller values, those values set by combinations of resistors. No matter how close the manufacturing tolerances of those resistors, it’s impossible to get the multiple resistors in exact ratios to each other — the resulting signal level will always be just a bit off. Ed Meitner believes that the superior linearity of single-bit designs is audible. However, single-bit processing isn’t without challenges of its own”
