    Fosi Audio's First Dual-Mode Balanced Amplifier ZA3

    the whole numbers are fine and good, but still, even with 80dB Sinad, the bottleneck is your speakers :) You will not hear ANY differences between 80db sinad and 100db sinad even with high-end speakers. also, we need to consider the ambient sound of the room while listening. so, why be mad about...

    Schiit Gjallarhorn objective review

    tbh Cambridge Audio is a more versatile and valuable purchase. The only downside is the size of the device

    Fosi Audio's First Dual-Mode Balanced Amplifier ZA3

    is it only me who has an issue with the ON/OFF functionality of the amp? I know that I need to hold it for 3-5 secs to turn on/off, but often the knob just ignores the action and I need to try 3-4 times every time. it may sound like a minor issue, but makes me nervous from time to time.

    Fosi Audio's First Dual-Mode Balanced Amplifier ZA3

    Just got this little one from amazon.nl. With a 10% coupon from Amazon and a 15% coupon that I got from the Fosi website, it cost me just 110 euros with a 48v power supply. Decided to take a quick test and compare it with my Yamaha A-S301. I use Burson Play V5 as a preamp. The main reason for...

    SMSL D-6s Balanced DAC Review

    then I don't understand who buys all those DAC/amps if every year topping/smsl produces 5-6 new models with very little difference in specs. they just stamping the same thing but in different enclosures. I would say if the design was great with every new product, but they are literally all the...

    SMSL D-6s Balanced DAC Review

    with every new dac from topping, smsl, etc. I read and hear, that the new DAC/amp/etc. It should be the end game. but still, people buy every new device just because the new one has a little bit of different specs, considering that 99% of buyers and even reviewers don't hear any differences...

    Wharfedale EVO 4.1 Review (Speaker)

    Just curious how someone could judge a speaker because of these kinds of measurements. We need to consider the room size, position, ability to hear, likings, microphone, etc. so many factors.

    Thoughts on the Heco Aurora 300?

    smth wrong with his review. I own a pair of Aurora 300 for nearfield listening on my desktop. Never noticed any cabinet resonances or weir issues. they are built like a tank. the quality is on par with Wharfedale Evo 4.1

    Stereo amps lacking HPF for mains in 2.1 setup… a big deal, or not?

    HPF is not a silver bullet. Sometimes it's better not to use HPF at all while listening to music. Movies are a completely different story. Here is the short text about HPF from one of the best subs brand...

    FiiO BTR7 Review (Portable DAC & HP Amp)

    everybody talks about PEQ (why even by audiophile device if you need PEQ?), but nobody talks about sound and comparisons. Just curious why somebody will buy a device with a dedicated DAC chip and bother with EQ that adds software interference to the sound and return the sound quality back to a...
