Shanling UA4 Review!
It’s a tiny little portable DAC, but it’s putting out a HUGE sound. A new ESS chip reduces power, and smooths out out some of the sound. The amp is punchy. There’s a CUTE little screen, and it’s surprisingly affordable!

Sineaptic SE-1 First Listen!
This is one of the most exotic diaphragm designs I’ve ever taken for a test drive, but thankfully this isn’t an exotically priced headphone. Sineaptic delivers one of the most articulate sounds I’ve ever heard near this price point, and it’s a Bluetooth headphone too!
But what the heck is a RIBBON Headphone??? Continue reading “Sineaptic SE-1 Preview: What the Heck is a Ribbon Headphone?!?!”
iFi Gryphon review! This might be one of the best audio products I’ve ever reviewed. It’s certainly one of the most flexible DACs I’ve ever tested. Gryphon delivers fantastic performance cabled or over Bluetooth, has solid battery life, and a number of settings to tweak and customize.
I can’t praise this enough. Let’s chat! Continue reading “ifi Audio xDSD Gryphon Portable DAC Review: GOLD STANDARD”
Audeze Euclid review!
Let’s not beat around the bush here, these earbuds are incredible. Packing a planar magnetic driver into each case, the Euclid deliver unparalleled audio quality. With such an exotic build though, we should also expect an exotic price tag.

DT 700 Pro X Review!
Beyerdynamic releasing new headphones is always going to be worth our attention! A refresh on the classic style of the DT 770 Pro, the 700 Pro X brings a refined casing and a detachable cable. For premium headphones though, what we care most about is the sound!
Do these live up to the classic Beyerdynamic reputation? Continue reading “Beyerdynamic DT 700 PRO X Review: Fresh AND Familiar (Recorded on the M 70 PRO X Microphone)”
