    Dan Clark NOIRE X Headphone Review

    A wireless NOIRE X with ANC would be an instant purchase for me.

    Shure SE535 Limited IEM Review

    It does not ignore it, it predates it by seven years. The Shure 535 came out in 2010 and the Harman Curve was first published in 2017. The 535 was a revision of the 530 with no changes to the sound. The 530 came out in 2006, so we are talking about an almost 20 year old design.

    HiFiMan HE-R10P Stealth Headphone Review

    Hifiman has the largest range of headphones of any audiophile headphone company, by a wide margin. There is a lot of variation in sound signature and specs both within and between their model lines. I've heard a few that I like and some that I hate. I think it is worth noting that despite a...

    Windows 11: Dolby Atmos for Headphones

    I use a Smyth A-16 to virtualize Atmos for headphone. I love it for movies. For Atmos encoded music, it is hit and miss depending on the mix. For upmixed two-channel, I generally don't think it adds anything worthwhile.

    Have you tried it with any Atmos encoded content?

    Dan Clark NOIRE X Headphone Review

    If having a closed-back is useful to you, it might be worth trying. The DCA Stealth is the only closed-back I've found that works well with the A-16. It is still a small compromise over headphones like the HD-800 with the A-16, but not the sort of thing that distracts you when listening.

    WiiM Ultra Streamer Preamp Review

    Sounds like it could be a bad Ultra. However, since it is basically a computer, try unplugging it, waiting a minute, and then plugging it back in.

    Sennheiser HD 620S Headphone Review

    Thank you. I somehow missed that the HD-620S is a closed back. Sennheiser's naming conventions are a bit, um, opaque.

    Sennheiser HD 620S Headphone Review

    It would be interesting to compare the HD-620S to the HD-660S2 which can be found for about $100 more.

    Dan Clark Expanse Headphone Review

    > No way would I run headphones this good on portable or lesser equipment I agree that they sound great out of the HPA-4, but they actually sound very good out of a Topping G5 too.

    WiiM Ultra Streamer Preamp Review

    It has coax out. To the right of the phono out.

    WiiM Ultra Streamer Preamp Review

    Given that the headphone output is not good and that a lot of us already own DAC/headphone amp combos that measure a lot better than the Ultra, I think it makes a lot of sense to use the digital outs rather than the analog outs. One less cable and better performance (although probably an...

    WiiM Ultra Streamer Preamp Review

    I have the Ultra on my desk as part of my home office setup. I really like having the screen. Especially with playlists or new music, I love being able to glance at it and see what is playing. I'm very happy with the purchase, but I do wish it supported AirPlay. I'm running the USB out to my...

    Fosi Audio V3 Mono Amplifier Review

    It makes no difference to me since I'm using XLR and 2.0 also, but I wanted to know in case I ever sell them.

    Fosi Audio V3 Mono Amplifier Review

    Do the original Kickstarter ones have the phase inverted issue?

    WiiM Amp Pro - TPA3255 PFFB | WiFi 6e | Bluetooth 5.3 vs WiiM Amp

    The extra speed is not needed for two channel, the improved roaming won't help a stationary device, and Wifi 7 routers are fully backwards compatible. So I'm genuinely curious as to why?

    Why an AC Power Cord cannot make a difference

    I have no idea why they want $4 more for the shorter cable, but hospital grade power cables are a real thing. They need to be rugged, properly grounded, and not cause RF interference in medical equipment. Look up UL 60601. Certification costs money. The real thing to learn from them is how...

    Why an AC Power Cord cannot make a difference

    Dozens of companies sell audiophile power cords and make claims for how they improve sound. Often these claims use fake science that is carefully written to sound plausible to a layperson. Review sites, Youtube videos, as well as print magazines like Stereophile, which many people trust, also...

    Please don't buy acoustic panels from GIK Acoustics, they are rubbish!

    To me, that sounds very strange. Dust in your home is giving off a strong odor? I live in a different part of the world, but I've never heard of normal household dust having a strong odor. Perhaps something else is going on unrelated to the panels.

    WiiM Ultra

    Does that make Roon the only non-Apple Airplay 2 transmitter? I hope they have a license! Edit: It looks like Belkin, Denon, and a couple others make devices.
