Audiobytes Black Dragon Amp/Dac Review
April 6, 2016 Comments Off on Audiobytes Black Dragon Amp/Dac Review
“The Black Dragon amplifier puts out a maximum 700mW into 32 ohms and the less efficient HE-1000 performs best with amplifiers that have high current and can deliver over watt or more of clean power. The Dragon still was able to drive it without running out of steam on jazz or acoustic recordings but was challenged during large-scale dynamic recordings. Connick’s vocal and Marsalis’ sax sounded live and organic. The HE-1000 had them hovering in space and gave me that out of head experience that I often get while listening to this magnificent headphone,”

Auralic Aries and SBooster Linear Power Supply
December 14, 2015 Comments Off on Auralic Aries and SBooster Linear Power Supply
“And that is what the SBooster is doing with the Aries. It is letting the Aries sing and swing. Dynamics, space, presence… damn. Now anyone using the power supply included with an Aires is doing really well. It is not like you are sucking it here as I stand by what I wrote about the Aries previously. It is killer with its own power supply and it is not like you are sitting there asking yourself how it can be improved, what is missing, what is that I am hearing and what can I can do to make it better, etc. No, the stock Aries with its power supply rocks, but for sure it can be elevated to compete with the way bigger, badder boys by spending more money on a better NAS and so on—tweak it. And certainly by adding the SBooster… yeah baby, now we are clearly hanging with the really, really cool people at school. Check me out. Highly recommended for anyone with an Aries.”

PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC review
December 4, 2015 Comments Off on PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC review
” A week was all that was required for break-in/warm-up. For listening proper, I placed the NuWave DSD DAC on four Isoblocks to rigidly decouple it from the dullard MDF shelves of my Salamander four-tier rack. A Mytek USB cable connected the NuWave to a MacBook running Audirvana+. A one-meter pair of Analysis Plus Copper Oval RCA cables connected the NuWave to a Shindo Allegro preamp. All review cuts (unless otherwise noted) were AIFF files, ripped from CD.”
Marantz HD-DAC1 Digital-to-Analog Converter $799
December 3, 2015 Comments Off on Marantz HD-DAC1 Digital-to-Analog Converter $799
“After hearing the Marantz DAC in two very different systems, I was eager to find out how it would fare in a more expensive and highly resolving system — my own. My Thiel CS3.7s are known for their accuracy, the PS Audio DirectStream is famous for its analog-like presentation and the new CAT SL1 Black Path Edition preamp sets a very high bar for transparency. Whatever the flaws of the HD DAC-1 might be, I would have no trouble identifying them.”
Matrix Quattro II DAC – Review
November 26, 2015 Comments Off on Matrix Quattro II DAC – Review
“Playing through my Marantz CD-52 SE > Coax > Quattro II > PM-44 MKII SE > Mission 702e it is incredibly clean and crisp. It really brings out the air and subtle detail in music, and with the setup I have this compliments it very nicely as it is a tad on the warmer side usually. It doesn’t lack body however, it is very flat and true to source not adding any real flavour of its own.”
