    Monoprice M1570C Headphone Review

    This was my immediate impression as well. I kept seeing praise of this model, but no serious testing had been completed yet. Once I had the chance to secure a new set from Monoprice at $165, I figured I would grab them as I had another pair of headphones I wanted to send to Amir and thought the...

    What items have you purchased as a result of ASR?

    Most recent purchase was Genelec 8030C. I was not able to listen to them before ordering, but the company reputation, measurements from this forum, and the high praise from ASR members made it a safe chance to take. I am glad I did!

    What headphone(s) do you own ?

    Finally joined the Audeze club with the addition of the LCD-X 2021! Extremely happy with them and still playing with a few different eq options. Loving them so far. Also just added the Monoprice M1570C to the collection. Was hard to pass up the $185 sale price last week and wanted to see their...

    Topping G5 Review (Portable DAC & HP Amp)

    While I have not personally tried the HD800 with the G5, it should drive them very well

    Topping G5 Review (Portable DAC & HP Amp)

    Received my G5 just a few days ago and happy to report that it has been working great. No issues powering either my DCA Aeon Noire or ZMF Aeolus with plenty of headroom available. Driver install and firmware update went smoothly as well, and have no connectivity issues when using BT or USB via...

    Denon AVR-X3600H AV Receiver Review

    I did go that route. After I upgraded to the 8805 I never really felt that my system improved audibly at at all. I was curious to see what the testing numbers would show, and when they were published it confirmed what I was thinking. From there, it came down to the only thing it offered was 2...

    Denon AVR-X3600H AV Receiver Review

    I can say first hand that I have been thrilled with mine and was not disappointed overall when it replaced my 8805. This just confirms my belief that they had really stepped up their game compared to past products.

    What headphone(s) do you own ?

    I enjoy them quite a bit! I picked them up after the HD650 and they were, to me, a nice alternative sound-wise as well as quite a bit easier to drive. They are a very flexible headphone in terms of applications

    Review and Measurements of Marantz AV8805 AV Processor

    The importance of these features will vary for some, but a few of the bigger ones would be a lack of immersive audio decoding, room correction, and Air Play / Heos support. My system has used both the 205, and later, the 8805 to be the main hub of the system, and both performed very smoothly...

    Review and Measurements of Marantz AV8805 AV Processor

    I would use the analog outputs of your 203 for 2-ch audio unless you need to use room correction. Even with a processor like this I still used the analog outs on my original 203, and even more so with my 205, for music playback. HDMI was only used for when I required Atmos playback
