    Schiit Magni 3+ and Heresy Headphone Amp Reviews

    Schiit customer service rep agreed to replace the Heresy with a Heretic for the $10 price difference and no further shipping charges. The issue of the headphones has not been addressed, beyond that I relayed to the rep that the P7 (fully passive/wired model) was not made to be repaired, B&W does...

    JDS Atom Amp+ Review (Headphone Amplifier)

    JDS Atom Amp+ looks like a good candidate to replace the Schiit Heresy. I've soured on that one due to the Heresy's headphone-killing failure and my experience so far with their customer service. (Repair was actually quite fast, if we were talking about a basic failure under warranty.) The...

    Review and Measurements of Mytek Stereo 192 DSD DAC

    I landed on ASR after I became curious about what an approximate replacement is these days to the Mytek. While it had been on the market some time, for the year 2016, it was capable of 24/192 and DSD. As the measurements support, it's on the analytical or dry end in traditional audiophile terms...
