The Sony NW-WM1ZM2 is a cultured-sounding player and beautifully made. It is an immensely capable performer that verges on excellent, even considering the money. Our issue with this product is much more about the limited power output, which means we struggle to use our favourite headphones, as well as the lack of sophistication in the way it works. Sony, by all means improve the sound for the next generation, but what you really need to do is concentrate on making that version better to use.

On the title track, as he trades lines with Dianne Reeves, the listener is drawn into a duet that provides both harmonising and contrast. The listener who is most captivated by the emotional elements of a performance will revel in the way that the two singers’ peerless powers of expression are presented against a backdrop of rich textures and tones, especially the piano, dominant from the outset. It’s as if one has recreated a smoky nightclub in one’s listening room. It almost begs the audience to dress for the occasion.
As voluble as I am most of the time, I find myself at a loss to convey just how marvellous is this amplifier though I will repeat to the point of tattooing it on my forehead that it must be matched to speakers of high sensitivity. I can only dream about how it will sound with Quad ESL 57s, which were never designed to demand bags of power though, to be fair, plenty of users will still pair the 91E with traditional horns. But the experience with DeVore’s O/93s? It’s a marriage to join Krell/Apogee and Audio Research/Magnepan in the annals of high-end audio.

Hifiman Svanar Review
But, the real gimmick here doesn’t come from the driver, but from the housing. How? By mimicking a principle seen (and heard) in almost every opera theater: a secondary cavity designed to smooth frequency response intersection. An idea that popped up when the Hifiman team saw the ballet “Swan Lake” at the Moscow State Theater, where they were amazed by the secondary diffusion ceiling design, resulting in an extended soundstage.

Following that, we listened to “Carmen” under Lorin Maazel with Julia Migenes and Placido Domingo, a recording from 1984. Of course, dynamics, authentic reproduction of the entire frequency spectrum and presentation of details are important criteria for an orchestra as well. Here, however, high demands for credible, physical voice reproduction and high tonal fidelity of instruments as well as solo and choral voices were added to that. In addition, the voices are also supposed to be distinctly detached from the orchestra. The depicted stage was large and perfectly to scale in terms of width, height, and depth – broad grins and incredulous head shaking were unavoidable. It was like “taking a bath in the music” as might be experienced with a select few big line-source speakers, if you’re lucky. The release of happiness hormones occurred to a degree that is only rarely experienced; goosebumps, foot tapping, and occasionally watery eyes alternated.
WESTONE AUDIO MACH 10/20/30/80 IN-EAR MONITORS $1,599 REVIEW

Spectacular values at each of their individual price points, the Westone Audio MACH series IEMs are definitely a must-hear to anyone looking to upgrade their current IEM. The standouts are the MACH 30 and MACH 80 and I can’t help but think that the passive crossover has a lot to do with this significant ramp-up in tonal balance and musicality.
The MACH 30 is the way to go if you want something that is a little more forgiving of your source material and playback system, I would have no real problem listening to my smartphone or an inexpensive DAP with these. They are also for those who want a little more punch in their bottom end, and reproduce what I think of as a fun sound.
