    D&A Alpha PRO DAC & Headphone Amp Review

    It is refreshing to see front panel with a knob and real buttons which makes unit much more pleasurable and ergonomic to use. My biggest gripe about these kind of units is that they often try to reinvent the wheel with user interface by moving controls to a single knob or to touch surfaces which...

    Topping B200 Monoblock Amplifier Review

    Vertical fins could do the same job with less material. I guess they went with horizontal fins on LA90 because you can neatly stack matching preamp on the top. It is less then ideal because poweramp is heating pre amp but it looks nice on photos. Then they used the same cooler on B200. Still...

    Topping B200 Monoblock Amplifier Review

    What I do not understand is why Topping is insisting on "wrong" thermal design - horizontal cooling fins on sides of a case, again??? One might say it is good enough but still it still bugs and puzzles me since they obviously invested so much i a superb acoustic performance? Bad thermal design...

    Topping B200 Monoblock Amplifier Review

    B200 has 3 balanced inputs for 3 different Preamps (I suppose)? How is amp deciding what signal to play if it receives signal on two or three inputs?

    MAMORITAI Euphony HP Amp Review

    No electronic device that is supposed to be touched all the time should be in silver mirror finish.

    Topping B100 Amplifier Review

    I used it in a meaning "most desirable" thermal design (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/optimal). Obviously, cooling efficiency is not the highest priority at Topping, but some other factors. I remember their integrated amp LA90, with perfect measured performance, but needlessly...

    Topping B100 Amplifier Review

    No proof is needed that this is less than optimal thermal design of the enclosure (to be specific). Probably sufficient for 95% of use cases... but we are on this forum because we like to think we are among 5% who know better.

    Topping B100 Amplifier Review

    Far from perfect. What I do not like is that this less than optimal design is such, so it can fit this configuration imagined by their marketing department:

    Topping B100 Amplifier Review

    These pictures sure look nice and tidy, but I do not understand thermal design. Class B is efficient, but why do you have a heat-sink enclosed inside a small box? Don't you need some went holes on the top of the case or some way to transfer the heat directly to the metal case?

    Bang & Olufsen Beosound Balance Review

    Because their customers do not read ASR forum and know very litter about sound quality. I went for a demo listen of Beolab 50 (59.000eur) in their shop in my country and it sounded terrible. I heard nothing but bass that overpowered everything. Once EQ setting in their app for bass were turned...

    RCA Audio Switch Silent 2(1)-in-1(2)-Out Stereo RCA Switch Selector review

    It has too many switches, main function (1/2 switch) is kind a small comparing to volume knob and mute which are useless for my needs. It has to sit on a table, you cannot tuck in...

    It has USB input. Can I connect my PC and send my stereo music signal to this USB input?

    Coming soon: MiniDSP Flex with HDMI input

    So Flex HT is basically expanded (more flexible:)) Flex with HDMI input and 4 more outputs. Is there something Flex HT is missing comparing to the "just" Flex?
