” Looking back at the impulse response (above) confirms as much. Note the squiggle just beyond around 10ms? That’s the room coming into play. Throwing it back to high school science, we recall that time corresponds to frequency: 1000ms equates to 1Hz. Similarly 10ms converts to 100Hz.”

” As for DSD, the performance was pretty much the same. The noise floor was just one decibel higher. The -3dB frequency response point was at 50kHz in accordance with the recommended anti-aliasing specifications for DSD, and -6dB was at 62kHz. High resolution PCM or DSD, you’re going to get the same effective performance, barring only the differences in signal processing, and then only if you’re keeping your DSD pure.”

ULTIMATE EARS PRO REFERENCE REMASTERED CUSTOM IN-EAR MONITORS REVIEW
July 9, 2016 Comments Off on ULTIMATE EARS PRO REFERENCE REMASTERED CUSTOM IN-EAR MONITORS REVIEW
”
The Reference Remastered strikes me as nothing so much as a tool, perhaps THE tool, to help you find and sort all the sounds you were meant to discover in both music and video. It is easily one of the most dynamic, natural-sounding components I’ve ever heard and for anyone craving neutrality, resolution, and involvement; it is highly, highly recommended.”

HIFIMAN EDITION S REVIEW
July 8, 2016 Comments Off on HIFIMAN EDITION S REVIEW
” The tonal difference between open and closed is not what I expected at all. With the plates on you do get more of a closed in quality with a neutral and relatively balanced presentation but with a slight focus more on the mid-range and treble over any hard hitting bass performance. Clean and clear is how I would define it with a little bit of zip and sparkle in the top end. It doesn’t have the thickest note and bass is just neutral at best but it has a very good turn of speed, with good articulation and decent definition.”

” The core technology of Reflector Bespoke line loudspeakers is our unique and patented baffle-free acoustic design which ensures many benefits.

DUNU DN-2002 REVIEW
July 8, 2016 Comments Off on DUNU DN-2002 REVIEW
” The soundstage of the DN-2002 is very similar to that of the DN-2000J. The only real difference is that the midrange of the DN-2002 is slightly more forward resulting in a more narrowed perceived presentation of vocals. Instrument separation is also beyond average and has always been one of DUNU’s strength along with its expansive sound presentation.”

FiiO X7 AM5 Module $99 REVIEW
July 8, 2016 Comments Off on FiiO X7 AM5 Module $99 REVIEW
” So now we have three modules for the X7 all priced at $99 and all offering something different, be it efficiency or power, be it neutrality or musicality. I did say in the AM2 review that I wished you did not have to buy the AM1 with the X7 just to lower the overall cost of ownership of this developing ecosystem for the X7. Thankfully, FiiO has responded to this by releasing the X7 without any amp modules for a lower price. If you want an AM2 or an AM5 now you can have it without having to buy the AM1. Good news for those with a particular usage needs or those simply on a tighter budge”
