ASTELL&KERN AK240 REVIEW

“You have several output options with the AK240. First and probably most-often used is the single-ended headphone output via the mini-stereo plug. For most headphones or DAC/pre applications this is the go-to connection. This mini-stereo input can also serve as a digital TosLink output, so you can use the AK240 as a USB-to-TosLink digital converter if the need arises. The TosLink output supports PCM up to 192/24, but will not pass a DSD signal, at least not yet. You never know what future firmware updates will bring. The last output on the AK240 is the balanced analog output using the four-conductor 2.5mm connector. It was included so you can drive some power-hungry headphones in balanced rather than single-ended mode.”
Sony NWZ-ZX1 digital audio player Review

“While the cheaper model is sleek looking, but plastic and lightweight, the more manly NWZ-ZX1 is hewn from aluminium alloy and has a leatherette back panel that makes it easier to grip. A large chunk of the additional cost is down to the use of specialised components and an optimised electrical circuit layout, which Sony says combine with the rigid machined body to offer maximum resistance to electrical interference, and deliver ‘uncompromised audio performance”

“In the case of the Sony Walkman, I think it’s a bit more black and white. Basically, what it comes down to is how particular you are about sound quality. If your attitude is blasé (shame on you), then just use your phone, save the $300, and be done with it. If your tastes are more discerning, then I’d say the Sony is worth your time. While $300 is certainly not something you’ll find in your couch, considering the price of the competition, it’s a relative bargain.”
AURENDER THE FLOW – REVIEW

” he Flow’s bass is detailed, smooth and fast without ever sounding too lean or shallow. It can extend with the right matchup but never really humps or blooms on its way down. It is tuned to behave but with an ever so slight midrange elevation just to keep things musical and weighted rather than analytical and sterile”
Alpha Design Systems X1 Live Review

“There is a smoothness to the audio representation that gives off a sense of a well developed piece of audiophile engineering. The transparent staging presence is something I didn’t expect with a brand new audio component, but it is welcome feel to the norm as this means that for once, a shorter burn-in may be the case rather than the standard 300+hour affair.”

“With smartphone use increasing all the time, users are often carrying a device that is capable of storing high quality audio files. The HA-2 is a very mobile-centric portable headphone amplifier and DAC that pairs exceptionally well with iOS and Android devices, and it can offer a significant improvement in sound quality over the amplification and DAC available in the mobile device itself, without adding excessive bulk and weight so as to make the combination inconvenient.”

” It really does feel perfect to me though, especially with the beautiful Minerva leather case. I do have a very small criticism of the volume pot though. It feels a little bit flimsy, a bit weak and easy. This phenomenon is often referred to as knob feel and it is something that I think everyone will understand. This knob feel just isn’t right for me I would like it a touch stiffer and a bit more solid. That would be perfect!”

” Sadly the E5 does not come with any lightening connectors or short OTG cables so you will have to source that yourself or use the one your iGadget or Android device came with. The smaller micro USB port to the far right is used for either charging the E5 or for interfacing as a DAC/AMP with your pc or laptop or mac of choice.”

” Seriously, a protective case should have holes that make it usable whilst out and about. Or, if it ain’t gonna have holes, it should be made of real, Italian leather by a real Italian. At least there are four silicon feet at the bottom to protect the FLOW, and your desk, one from the other.”

“If you’re in it for the simple pleasure that accompanies a favorite pair of headphones, a comfy chair, a smoldering fire, and whiskey on ice, you are in the market for a really nice low-pass filter. In the section below I’ll outline just how nice the Cloud Nine’s low pass filter is.”
