” It’s not often that a company specifically points out the products’ isolation feet. NuPrime has put some patent pending focus on the isolation feet by adding some patent pending feet that the company claims absorbs and cancels vibrations that degrade audio performance. In other words, there’s no need to add after-market sorbothane feet or other dampening products to the new IDA-8.”

“The control the430HA had with the low-end grandeur of the LCD-X’s was state of the art. The active bass line of the next song on the album, Goodbye, was as good of a headphone presentation as I have heard. High hat work shimmered off to infinity. This was a mountaintop experience!”

” Parasound knew what they were doing—beefing up the amp section made for less stumbling with difficult loads, and therefore less unintended coloration. As surprising as it may seem from looking at this little device, it really does sound quite good with something like an HE-500 or even the new HE-560 based on my limited exposure to that model.”

” . This is not to take anything away from the DAC3 Engine option, though, as I think it arguably adds a huge amount of high-level digital functionality for not an awful lot of money. In side-by-side comparisons with the AURALiC VEGA Digital Audio Processor, I found I narrowly preferred the VEGA to the Moon DAC3 Engine, although the performance gap was narrow enough that I could happily have lived with either one on a long-term basis”

” Its dynamic range, noise, crosstalk, and THD measure (in closed IN-OUT benchmarks) near the limits of commercially available measuring equipment is able to record. It is necessary to say that the theoretical limits of even 44kHz 24-bit audio go well beyond what’s possible through any commercially viable DAC.
Violectric V281 Headphone Amplifier Review

” it’s not purely a numbers game. The Schiit Lyr for example is very potent but doesn’t come anywhere near this level. It’s great for what it is but just can’t match a Bryston BHA-1 or Schiit Mjolnir, much less the V281. If raw power alone was the criteria we’d all be running the HE-6 from speaker amps. I’ve done so myself and know a few people who swear by it. All I can say is, I have here a few rather nice amps here at the moment including an Anthem A2, a BAT VK-220, and a pair of Merrill Audio Thor monoblocks. Each of these amps is a powerhouse, sounding great with the HE-6. Yet none do anything amazing that I don’t already get with the V281. Color me impressed.”

“Another huge contrast between speakers and headphones is the displaying of depth in the soundstage. The HD800 is an amazing headphone in terms of soundstage size but with the WA5 and Éist Audio Dubhs there was an extra dimension from the centre to the back of the soundstage.”

“If I had to point out any area which leaves room for improvement – if my life depended on it – I would be asking for a crisper and rougher textured bass. However, this demand is not eligible since I haven’t heard better in portable hifi yet. You have to know your equipment very well to notice which link of a chain has which effect. Hugo covers two links at once since it only allows digital inputs.”

” The CMA800I offers HR and FIR filters while the CAS192 adds upsampling to 192k. For the purposes of this review I disengaged all filters and upsampling. Although I’m not a big fan of that type of technology in DACs anyway, all the systems in the review are on an even playing field.”
