Musical Fidelity M3si integrated amplifier & DAC Review

“Partly because the M3si needed proper a run-in and partly because the distributor was in no hurry to collect the amplifier I continued to use it for longer than normal. It turned out to be a fine partner to my system, offering a wide open and beautiful sound. In truth I have not been able to discover any real shortcomings, save to mention that the USB input lags when compared with the line inputs. Maybe Musical Fidelity is still more convinced about the quality of CD players compared to streaming”

” The Emmas are so easy to set up, drive and pair with ancillary components that they will be the last part of your system you’ll ever feel the need to upgrade. And if you never feel the need to spend $50K on a hi-fi system, they could easily be the last pair of speakers you’ll ever need.
Metrum Acoustics ‘Aurix’ Headphone Amplifier REVIEW

” I found myself listening almost exclusively with the gain switched up to 10dB for what I perceived to be a fuller, richer sound. Even so, I occasionally thought there needed to be more oomph – more guts, if you will – but when I really gave it consideration I decided that this wasn’t necessarily the case. I was getting free-flowing, unblemished sound and I could listen critically without destroying my ear holes. I could hear plenty of detail, subtle or otherwise and layers and imaging to die for.”
Accuphase E-470 + DC-37 Integrated amplifier + DAC Review

” The DC-37 digital to analog converter is characterized by the same level of craftsmanship. The DAC manufactured by Accuphase works best with high-resolution files, especially transferred through the USB port. When the DC-37 is matched with a good-quality music player such as Arender X100L or Auralica Aries, they constitute an exceptionally pleasant system that can be further expanded in the future by adding Accuphase transport to play music from CDs and SACDs using the HS-LINK.”
CAYIN N6 DAP REVIEW

” Mids are clean, clear and with good width and separation helped no doubt by a lack of bass bleed and a continuance of that relatively neutral and linear presentation. The N6 mids do not have the thickest or richest flavor preferring instead to focus on detail and articulation. Timbre is excellent though on the N6 mids with a very natural vocal presence free of any harshness or unnerving grain.”

” The earphone is at all times an enjoyable listen, the sound is full and every part has its place. Maybe I have been spoilt for what is capable in terms of CIEM soundstage but I find this to be good with obvious use of all 3 dimensions but I don’t find it to be huge, the JH Audio Roxanne sounds huge, this seems layered and open but not near that level, although I think the JH Sirens are in a league of their own in terms of sheer size and this easily matches the rest of my best CIEM in terms of size alone. The imaging seems pretty precise but maybe my personal biggest gripe with these is the background just doesn’t seem that dead, it just a bit blurry. ”
GamuT M250i Mono Power Amplifiers – PREVIEW $23,500/pair

” With 250 watts per channel into 8 ohms available, (500 watts into 4 ohms and 900 into 2 ohms) the M250i takes a slightly unique approach in that it features a massive power supply and dual mono construction, yet instead of a large bank of output transistors as many high powered amplifiers do, the M250i uses only two enormous MOSFET power transistors, each capable of passing over 500 amperes of peak current.”

“First, the Middle Ts didn’t sound airy and dimensional, the way some more resolving speakers do — there was just a touch of high-frequency energy that somehow eluded them. Granted, the only speakers I can think of that do this better than the Brystons are more expensive, but still — it was a limitation. Second, the soundstage wasn’t carved out in space with sharp edges and crystal-clear delineations. When it came to the Brystons’ soundstaging capabilities, think drawn with a marker instead of a sharp pencil and you get the idea.
