Audioengine introduce A5+ Wireless loudspeaker Review
March 17, 2018 Comments Off on Audioengine introduce A5+ Wireless loudspeaker Review
“Fortunately, the Audioengine guys have included the AAC to prevent iOS device pairings from dropping down to the inferior sounding SBC. More info on that here. iMac and Macbook users should see/hear an aptX connection. Windows support for aptX (HD), like Android, will vary according to the hardware manufacturer.”
What does 2018 hold for Music Streaming Services?
March 16, 2018 Comments Off on What does 2018 hold for Music Streaming Services?
“It won’t have escaped people’s notice that for two streaming services in particular, another option exists. Apple Music and Amazon Unlimited don’t have to make the same appeals to investors that the independent streaming services do. Neither of these organisations is wondering where their next $100 million is coming from and a different approach to the business of conquering music streaming is open to them. At this point, we move from the evaluation of stated business models which is what this article has done so far and move into the theoretical. ”
NOONTEC HAMO WIRELESS PRO HEADPHONE REVIEW
March 16, 2018 Comments Off on NOONTEC HAMO WIRELESS PRO HEADPHONE REVIEW
“Noontec has become well known for offering very good sound quality and the Hammo are no exception. The sound is fairly neutral with a slight prominence to the low end and an overall smooth and clean output. I am not sure I would use them as my studio monitors as I prefer a very flat sound for that and the emphasis here is far more geared to the enjoyment of music than out and out monitoring. The could, of course, be used in such a scenario but I much prefer them as a day to day headphone when listening for pleasure.”
Rethm Maarga Loudspeakers $9750 Review
March 16, 2018 Comments Off on Rethm Maarga Loudspeakers $9750 Review
“Before hearing them, I was concerned that the Maargas would be hard-pressed to do justice to rock. I was wrong. The Rethms could indeed rock — not with the usual in-your-face, concussive, frontal assault, but in a more subterranean, earthquake kinda way when I turned them up loud. The flabbergasting thing was when I used them to listen to rock at low volumes. It’s hard to imagine that a speaker could deliver utterly compelling rock at a level of only 60dB, but that’s exactly what the Maargas did, and like no other speaker I’d heard.”
KEF Q750 Loudspeakers Review
March 15, 2018 Comments Off on KEF Q750 Loudspeakers Review
“Like almost every hi-fi speaker now made by KEF, the Q750 is based on their Uni-Q driver technology. Uni-Qs are coaxial drivers; each one comprises a tweeter operating inside the cone of a midrange or midrange-woofer driver. This is done so that the soundwaves generated by the two drivers emanate from the same point in space, to make their combined output a “point source” of sound. (Only KEF’s lower-priced C models still use discrete tweeters and midrange or midrange-woofer cones.) The Q750’s Uni-Q has a 1” dome tweeter and a 6.5” midrange-woofer, the latter left unfiltered on its low end, to extend its output as low in the bass as possible. To add to the midrange-woofer’s bass to increase extension and output, the Q750 also has a 6.5” woofer augmented by two 6.5” passive radiators.”
CAYIN N5II REVIEW
March 15, 2018 Comments Off on CAYIN N5II REVIEW
“You get a fairly relaxed midrange that makes great use of the quiet background that this has, really giving an individual spotlight to each component and instrument that ends up sitting in the midrange. The lack of restriction is even more obvious in balanced but in single ended you still won’t be disappointed. Paired with a buttery smoothness I find the midrange to be quite stunning and am so happy to report that there is no upper midrange spike that can cause fatigue like so many Sabre’s before it. In fact I can say the same about the treble, which somehow stays smooth and doesn’t even lose to much of that impressive midrange body. Like the midrange and its use of space to improve imaging, the treble has great extension to provide air which aids the soundstage. These end up being some of the best initial factors you may notice with the Cayin, how big and accurate the soundscape is. ”

Top 10 Best Portable Music Players For Audiophiles – 2018 Edition
March 14, 2018 Comments Off on Top 10 Best Portable Music Players For Audiophiles – 2018 Edition
“There you have it guys; this is currently my list of the best portable music players available on the market that is geared towards the enthusiasts and audiophiles. Remember, all of these portable music players have fantastic sound quality. You may or may not hear any difference or differentiate the sound signature from one DAP to another using the same set of headphones or earphones. This all comes down to personal preference. Audio is a subjective topic, and what’s good for you may not be good for me. Just one thing, do yourself a favor, if ever you are going to buy one of these DAPs, be sure to load them with high resolution lossless audio files. Please don’t load them with a lossy and sometimes poorly encoded MP3 files. Otherwise it would defeat the purpose of getting one and you’re better off using your smartphone instead. Good luck!”

MrSpeakers Aeon Flow Open Headphone $800 Review
March 13, 2018 Comments Off on MrSpeakers Aeon Flow Open Headphone $800 Review
“The low is fitted and honed to the point where it strikes with authority and little else to muddle the way in its delivery. It is by no means a bass heavy headphone, but produces when the music calls for it. More importantly, it is tight and punchy when it counts. Listening to the bare bass guitar on the opening Jason Mraz’s I Won’t Give Up the Aeon, picked up the nuances of the string picking as well as the low impact of the final note that drops in the measure. While the Sennheiser HD650 on hand was also able to recreate some of that same feeling, there was a slight undertone of blur to the same string, fogging the picture.”
