    HiFiMan HE-R10P Stealth Headphone Review

    This is so weird. I recall when the Meze Empyreans hit the ground a few years back: "Man $3,000 for a headphone, ah well, at least this one actually looks like someone busted their asses making and finishing it to this quality". Now we're in the $5,000+ realm, and yet again, more hyper...

    What is with this AI Image Look?

    This was a case where manual inpainting work wasn't used, just basic upscaling. There's other errors that aren't as glaring, but the whole point is to show that the typical stuff you see (the painterly blur-fest "HDR"-like colorized style) isn't the only thing type of image generation possible...

    Fosi Audio ZD3 Balanced DAC Review

    These guys picked up the slack that Topping left behind (they really don't like selling DAC-AMP combo's seemingly due to the more work required, and less profits on all-in-one devices such as them). Great work Fosi

    What is with this AI Image Look?

    Much of this stuff depends on how seriously you want to take it. Most of the stuff marketed by companies for regular consumers to use on whatever hardware they have, yields low res, low fidelity output. If you're running this stuff locally, then the requirements climb very quickly as does the...

    SMSL DL100 DAC and Headphone Amp Review

    They can cheat all they want, but when a dynamic range figure is posted, the long standing expectation and typical testing methodology requires it to be of a single exposure of the uncompressed RAW file from the camera. "Cheating" isn't the issue, the issue is when someone asks what the dynamic...

    The Slow Death and Rebirth of Intel

    Not a chance, in fact the opposite is true now that there are measures being taken to try and stem the deployments of AI guided traffic analysis. VPNs I believe are only now starting to attempt measures against this sort of surveillance frontier. And it's not a free lunch either, uses more data...

    SMSL DL100 DAC and Headphone Amp Review

    I don't know if validity was the thing in question, it would be more so the dishonesty involved when the question about the dynamic range was in question. No one is actually posing the question of what the dynamic range of a camera is when multiple exposures are combined into one. They want to...

    Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II Streamer Review

    Meh, I guess Jersey and Staten Island getting dogged on wasn't enough? Though to be fair, Jersey isn't NYC

    Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II Streamer Review

    When getting into audio a few years back I recall seeing this company's devices, but nothing in terms of serious performance measurements of note. The price was high back then, and it seems even higher now. So glad I went the RME route instead (I was mostly looking for all-in-one desktop...
