Head phone Amp$1995 review
September 4, 2017 Comments Off on Head phone Amp$1995 review
” The 24/88.2 remastered version of “Spanish Harlem” is the best-sounding conventionally encoded version of this track that I have. In it, Rebecca Pidgeon’s voice sounded less mechanical and more human, and the instruments had more inner detail and nuance. The PS Audio DirectStream just sounded more enjoyably realistic than the Mytek Brooklyn — as it darned well should, for three times the price.”
Monitor Audio Silver 200 Review
September 4, 2017 Comments Off on Monitor Audio Silver 200 Review
“There may well be rivals that offer a little more in terms of outright detail, bass weight or even aesthetics – as we enter Awards season we’ll surely find out. But if we create a tick-list of what makes a great all-rounder, these new Silver floorstanders pass every test and have a great deal of fun while doing so.”
Fiio X5 Gen III Digital Audio Player $399 Review
September 3, 2017 Comments Off on Fiio X5 Gen III Digital Audio Player $399 Review
“The X5 Gen III/F5 combo is a winner on all levels; they’re both attractively priced, especially when you consider the impressive sound quality and feature set offered by the pair. The build quality and appearance of both is superb, and the pair performs at a much higher level than their combined price would suggest. I loved everything about the X5—it’s a near-perfectionist unit that will leave you wanting for very little in a digital audio player, and it performed throughout the review period with nary a hiccup of any kind. And the connectivity of the unit is outstanding; whether driving powered speakers with either wired or Bluetooth connections, the performance was always flawless. ”
Kii Audio Three loudspeaker $11,500 Review
September 3, 2017 Comments Off on Kii Audio Three loudspeaker $11,500 Review
“The Kii Audio Three is an outstanding loudspeaker. However, it took a bit of getting used to—in addition to visual bias, under all but the most ideal situations each of us is adapted to the effect of his or her room on the sound. While I was struck by the transparency of the Kii Threes’ soundstaging and transparency, freed as they are from most acoustical influences, the result was somewhat surreal. I found myself groping for explanations that apply more to conventional speakers: What happened to the warmth? Isn’t it a bit bright? Is there a midrange suckout? Are the rear-mounted drivers spraying sound out the back to be washed back at me from the front wall?”

Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ AKG
September 2, 2017 Comments Off on Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ AKG
“However, it is the audio features that make these phones stand out among the rest. The phones are equipped with different chips depending where in the world you are, most likely either Exynos 8895 or Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 in the USA with a 32-bit DAC, along with aptX and aptX HD Bluetooth. The Galaxy S8 and S8+ both have UHQ capabilities with support for UHQ 32-bit and DSD. The music player is gorgeous, and even better, it’s simple to navigate.”
Audio Research Foundation VT80 Stereo Amplifier $8000 Review
September 2, 2017 Comments Off on Audio Research Foundation VT80 Stereo Amplifier $8000 Review
” y comparison of the two ARCs’ sounds quickly devolved into nitpicking. Immediately, the D300 came across as sounding not harsh, but brighter in the highs — high-pitched guitars, sibilants, and cymbals all sounded a bit more forward and drew more attention to themselves. Through the D300, the voices of Amy Winehouse and Bono lost some of the beautiful three-dimensionality they had through the VT80, and sounded rawer in detail and flattened in emotional range. When I tried to approximate the volume level of a rock concert, the D300 had greater deep-bass presence that I could feel through its stronger characterization of bass guitar, and the bigger-sounding drums and bass pedals in the Rush recording — no doubt because of its much higher power output.”
Shaling M2s Review $150
September 2, 2017 Comments Off on Shaling M2s Review $150
” Based on the reviews I read on forums and on other sites, the Shanling M2s does have a smooth and warm sound. It has decent level or clarity and detail; soundstage and layering is not so stellar though. But the general consensus is that sound quality is okay for its price. Don’t expect too much though, after all, this is an entry-level DAP.”

Legacy Audio Focus SE speakers $10,600 Review
September 1, 2017 Comments Off on Legacy Audio Focus SE speakers $10,600 Review
‘”The Legacy Focus SE loudspeaker is elegant, robust, and aesthetically agreeable. I usually prefer listening with cosmetic speaker baffles removed, but for once they don’t impose a tax on performance and I find them handsome, although many will prefer exposing the sexy high tech edge of the front baffles.”
