PS Audio PowerPlant 15 and 20
February 26, 2025 Comments Off on PS Audio PowerPlant 15 and 20
The PowerPlants have a significant input and output passive filter design, meaning they do not need additional filtering. Moreover, as PS Audio indicates, adding extra power conditioners to the input or additional filtering to its output may be undesirable.
As a variant to the standard sine waveform, the MultiWave function extends the peak charging time of the sine wave, so connected equipment has more energy storage and less power supply ripple. The result is a smoother sound with a larger soundstage than when using a simple sine wave

Headphone amplifiers that use ESS chips are normally on the warmer side of the listening spectrum, and the XA-02 is no different. Using ELNA capacitors contributes to this warmish tonality, but not so much that the signature is too smooth.
Instead, the XA-02 exudes a mature sound that sounds good across various genres, without minimizing each genre’s impact on the sound.
In other words, a brighter, more energetic sound still comes across with a bit of verve, just not as much as a DAC/amp with a brighter tone to it, might. Instead, the signature still emulates the intention quite well.

Fosi Audio V3 Mono Power Amp Review
February 25, 2025 Comments Off on Fosi Audio V3 Mono Power Amp Review
Speaking of numbers, thanks to the use of Japanese Nichicon filter capacitors, ELNA capacitors, German WIMA capacitors, and Japanese Sumida inductor, the V3 Mono is able to reach THD as low as 0,006%, SINAD of 101dB and an SNR as high as 123dB. Impressive values, helped by a four-layer PCB, further optimizing the work done by the manufacturer upstream.
Another nice feature of the Fosi Audio V3 Amp, is the use of swappable op-amps. If provided with two Texas Instruments NE5532 by default, the amp can also be fitted with chips like the Burson V7, the MUSES02 or even the classic Ti OPA2604.
Dan Clark Audio – DCA Noire X Review
February 25, 2025 Comments Off on Dan Clark Audio – DCA Noire X Review
Inside the box is dominated by the hard case that houses the folded-down DCA Noire X headphones with both the single-ended and balanced cables sitting in their zip-lock bags under it and paperwork hidden in the very bottom. In terms of papers, we get a quick user guide that explains the basics of using the DCA Noire X and a slightly comically old-timey-looking authenticity certificate complete with gothic lettering.
The included hard case seems quite sturdy and will protect the headphones inside from bumps and scratches when traveling. My only gripes about it are that while it houses the folded headphones nicely, there’s no room for the cable. And the fully folded DCA Noire X headphones seem to squish the earpads’ upper portion, which didn’t feel right to me for long-term storage.
