Cayin N5ii Review
January 17, 2018 Comments Off on Cayin N5ii Review
“The soundstage of the new Cayin is exceptionally wide. One of the biggest I have on-hand. And it illustrates depth better than any of the lower-budget gear I’ve tried. Dynamism is remarkable, as well. This is a lively f**ker and will immediately engage you. What really separates the N5ii from the pack, though, is its gift for natural, clear, high resolution audio. There are DAPs which do one or two of those three things better, but Cayin manages them all, and on a level of proficiency you have no right to expect at this price point.”

MONITOR AUDIO SILVER 300 FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
January 17, 2018 Comments Off on MONITOR AUDIO SILVER 300 FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
“This is a high-end magazine, and I am used to handling loudspeakers with speaker terminals that cost less than the Monitor Audio Silver 300. And yet, this is every inch a high-end loudspeaker. It is more set to the entertainment-delivery end of the high-end world (rather than the overly cerebral), but the point of high-end shouldn’t just be about the price tag or how heavy the loudspeaker is. It should be about the sound, and it’s in the sound quality department where the Silver 300 scores so highly. ”

AURENDER A10 STREAMER/SERVER $5,500 REVIEW
January 16, 2018 Comments Off on AURENDER A10 STREAMER/SERVER $5,500 REVIEW
“The A10 is a sophisticated product that makes enjoying music simple. It is a true reference level piece. For the Headphone Aficionado, it may be the missing piece to a system that is reference but does not require a desk full of gear and a tangle of expensive cables. The A10 performed beautifully with open and closed cans, Planar Magnetic, Dynamic, whatever I paired with it and for you two-channel speaker users it also worked perfectly as a Pre-amp with my amp and speakers. It has an excellent DAC. It can replace several items in your system in one beautiful box. What’s not to like? Highly Recommended!”

Questyle Audio CMA400i DAC with Headphone AMP Review
January 15, 2018 Comments Off on Questyle Audio CMA400i DAC with Headphone AMP Review
“The Questyle Audio CMA400i is a modestly priced powerhouse of a device that will take you far with your headphone dreams. It will also play well with others in your system as a standalone DAC—playing all types of digital files—and as a preamplifier. I’ve heard other superb headphone amplifiers (tube and solid state) costing more from Woo Audio [WA7 Firefly] and costing far more, the Cypher Labs Prautes, and while the Questyle can’t quite match the Prautes for luxurious musical delivery, it’s pretty damn close. And it comes with other tricks, too. Highly recommended. ”
