Astell&Kern SP1000 SS Ultima: A Brief Review

“SP1000 has a bigger body as well as a bigger screen compared to AK380. Its design is straighter and rectangular. In this unit, there is a double digital to analogue converter named AKM AK4497EQ. As AK380 maintains, there are one 3.5mm single ended and 2.5mm balanced outputs. The main difference between two flagships is the USB 3.0 port of the SP1000. The USB 3.0 offers a faster file transfer, but the 3.0 cable isn’t still widespread. So, if we own an old android phone, we may need to carry an extra cable to charge SP1000.”

Cyrus ONE HD Integrated amplifier review

“The most interesting aspect of this performance is that – even more so than is usually the case – speaker choice makes an enormous difference to how you’ll perceive the Cyrus. With the Spendor attached, you get a balanced, considered and accurate performance that might, depending on your preferences – be considered fractionally dull. Switch to the Acoustic Energy AE1 Classic and the result is far more invigorating. Some of the top end refinement is lost but the result is more propulsive, energetic and all round exciting. The Cyrus is sufficiently powerful and sufficiently transparent that it will largely reflect the behaviour of the speaker rather than imparting much of itself. This is fairly unusual in an amplifier at this price point – particularly one with decoding on board – and also a little different from how Cyrus equipment is often perceived. ”

SCHIIT AUDIO LYR 3 REVIEW

“With the solid state ‘tube’ the sound changes to a more punchy bass, with even wider extension into lows and highs. You will trade musicality for linearity in the lower midrange. Don’t think you’d be getting a typical solid state amplifier then, because the discrete design of Lyr 3 will still give out a very harmonic and lush sounding amplifier with smooth mids. The biggest change to me though was the treble, which has gotten sparklier and crisper with the LISST installed. The overall sound lost some of its richness, but gained precision and accuracy in the end. Which is also very nice if you’re looking for that.”

AVM EVOLUTION CS 5.2 STREAMING CD RECEIVER REVIEW

September 10, 2018 Comments Off on AVM EVOLUTION CS 5.2 STREAMING CD RECEIVER REVIEW

Read Here

As a complete system, the AVM CS 5.2 is a remarkably versatile unit, providing access to internet radio, streaming services (TIDAL and Qobuz are supported) and USB digital, together with the conventional gamut of hi-fi sources. As a one-box solution for a minimalist, the AVM CS 5.2 has few peers, and the flexibility of its back panel connections makes it equally valid as a core component in a separates system, where its DAC and amplifier performance cede little to rivals at the likely price points. Add in the cool, understated good looks and impeccable build quality and it’s hardly surprising that AVM have a winner on their hands.”

ABYSS AB-1266 PHI CC HEADPHONE $5,000 REVIEW

September 9, 2018 Comments Off on ABYSS AB-1266 PHI CC HEADPHONE $5,000 REVIEW

Read Here

“Overall, as fantastic as the bass is with the original configuration, I found that the presentation now had among the tightest and most detailed bass there is in personal audio. To hear this level of depth, detail and texturing, I used to think you’d have to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a full two-channel stereo setup. Simply put, when you incorporate their expansive sound-staging, these headphones offer the closest speaker-like presentation I’ve heard in personal audio and the new ear-pads help the Abyss AB-1266 Phi / Phi CC headphones achieve a level that I didn’t think was possible.”
