Cool sound and controversial circuitry: MuseHiFi M3 mobile DAC review


✔ Cool sound and controversial circuitry: MuseHiFi M3 mobile DAC review
🔥 Buy Dunu DTC500: https://ali.ski/rr9lrJ 🔥 или тут: https://bit.ly/3yISwbX

The mobile DAC segment has become so popular that every self-respecting headphone manufacturer is literally obliged to release something like that in this form factor. Today I propose to get acquainted with the solution from the well-known brand MuseHiFi called M3. The DAC is based on the ES9038Q2M converter with an amplifying part on the ES9603Q chip, and the time-tested SA9227 is responsible for the USB. The characteristics are declared very solid, and the appearance, of course, has it.

1More Sonoflow Review: The Ultimate Wireless Headphones


✔ 1More Sonoflow Review: The Ultimate Wireless Headphones
🔥 Buy 1More Sonoflow: https://aliclick.shop/s/lghrkm

Having discussed the rather expensive wired full-size headphones, I suggest immediately switching to a wireless novelty from 1More called Sonoflow. With the filling here, everything is of the highest standard: a 40 mm dynamic driver, bluetooth of the fifth version, a battery for as much as 70 hours of operation, noise reduction, multipoint and, of course, support for the LDAC codec. Technically, this is, without a doubt, an absolute hit, questions remain only about the sound. That's what we're going to deal with today.

✔ Sivga SV021 review: decent dynamic headphones
🔥 Buy Sivga SV021: https://aliclick.shop/s/dbq3uq 🔥 or here: https://bit.ly/3ge5tnB

Following the flagship full-size headphones, I propose to consider a much more affordable segment in the face of the new dynamic Sivga SV021 model. They are also called Robin. According to the materials, this is also wood, inside there is a rather impressive 50 mm driver and, what is even more interesting, a completely closed design. Visually, the model is just a bomb - we will figure out the rest.

Some time ago, we already got acquainted with the flagship magnetic-planar headphones from the company Sivga, and this, I confess to you, was something. Today, I propose to once again plunge into the world of full-size headphones, but with their dynamic flagships. No less cool model, immediately with a balanced cable and all kinds of adapters included.

A quite serious ES9280AC Pro chip from ESS works inside it, there is headset support, a version for both Type C and Lightning, decent output power, as for such a kid, support for all the most modern formats and a bunch of other goodies.

iKKO ITM02 Review: Compact Mobile DAC for iOS and Android


✔ iKKO ITM02 Review: Compact Mobile DAC for iOS and Android
🔥 Buy iKKO ITM02: https://ali.ski/k4lpe 🔥 or here: https://bit.ly/3rWcKLz

Following other well-known brands, iKKO also decided to release a DAC based on the updated Asahi Kasei chip family. In terms of power, of course, it does not break the templates, only 70 mW per 32 ohm load, however, there is only one output per 3.5 mm. This means that it will easily cope with any in-ear and some not very tight full-size headphones. This ITM02 is a very curious kid, we are talking about him today.

Severe and evil: Letshuoer S12 Pro planar headphones review


✔ Severe and evil: Letshuoer S12 Pro planar headphones review
🔥 Buy Letshuoer S12 Pro: https://ali.ski/jV1Lj 🔥 or here: https://bit.ly/3CTlRCM

In addition to the D13 dynamic headphones, which are quite groovy in nature, Shuoer has also released a couple of purely planar solutions. Regular S12s were a bit bright, so the manufacturer decided to work on the bugs, as a result of which they introduced a much more restrained S12 Pro. But restraint, in this case, has become almost the basis of the nature of these headphones. It turned out, of course, very curious, but the presentation is clearly not for everyone.

Superb balance: Topping L30 II headphone amplifier review


✔ Superb balance: Topping L30 II headphone amplifier review
🔥 Buy Topping L30 II: https://ali.ski/SC7-u 🔥 or here: https://bit.ly/3VlkT9S

Having discussed in detail the updated version of the Topping E30 II stationary DAC, it will not hurt to consider in the same detail the Topping L30 II headphone amplifier specially created for it. In which they improved absolutely all the characteristics and even slightly raised the output power. Now this is not 2.3 W per channel, but a more impressive 2.7 W, converted into a 32 ohm load. A very curious device, we will dwell on it today.

Topping E30 II review: a new generation of excellent DAC


✔ Topping E30 II review: a new generation of excellent DAC
🔥 Buy Topping E30 II: https://ali.ski/EE_EI 🔥 or here: https://bit.ly/3yvfAdZ

Not so long ago, we examined in detail the very curious SMSL D-6 DAC, but today I propose to take on its direct competitor - Topping E30 II, which is also based on two Asahi Kasei AK4493S chips, and the time-tested XMOS XU208 is responsible for USB. In some ways, the option from Topping bypasses SMSL, in some ways it is inferior - including this, I propose to talk in detail today.

Ampapa A1 review: cool tube headphone amp, preamp and phono stage


✔ Ampapa A1 review: cool tube headphone amp, preamp and phono stage
🔥 Buy Ampapa A1: https://amzn.to/3CHwXe1 🔥 or here: https://ampapa.net/products/a1

In fact, it is quite difficult to say what the Ampapa A1 is. Initially, it was apparently designed as a tube preamp, then they added the capabilities of a phono stage and completed the design by introducing the function of a headphone amplifier. In terms of power, of course, it turned out not very fat, only 125 mW at 32 ohms of load, but wherever I used it, it rocked absolutely all headphones, from simple in-ear headphones to rather tight full sizes. Otherwise, the lamps here are American, they can be changed to taste, there is a timbre block, and, it should be noted, they tried pretty hard on the design. A very interesting device - we are talking about it today.

SMSL D-6 Review: The Infamous Stationary DAC


✔ SMSL D-6 Review: The Infamous Stationary DAC
🔥 Buy SMSL D-6: https://aliclick.shop/s/784hsn 🔥 or here: https://bit.ly/3fQpO23

Literally right after the announcement of the AK4493S, SMSL presented its new D-6 DAC, based on two such converters. At that time, everyone was already a little tired of the abundance of decisions on ESS, so something on Asahi Kasei became like a breath of fresh air. In addition, the device was equipped with a second-generation XMOS chip, and Qualcomm QCC5125 with support for AptX HD and LDAC codecs is responsible for bluetooth. Which in total gives some simply fantastic signal parameters. A very curious, I would even say, infamous device.

Folk stationary: review of balanced DAC with headphone amplifier SMSL C200


✔ Folk stationary: review of balanced DAC with headphone amplifier SMSL C200
🔥 Buy SMSL C200: https://aliclick.shop/s/56xhgu 🔥 or here: https://aliclick.shop/s/bai33l

Apparently in the wake of the success of the 200-series, SMSL has released a new lightweight version of this bundle, packed inside one case. In terms of design, of course, it turned out very similar, but in terms of filling, the C200 is still closer to the 100-series. It is based on the ES9038Q2M converter, second-generation XMOS is responsible for USB, and Qualcomm QCC5125 is on bluetooth with support for AptX HD and LDAC codecs. The headphone amplifier is built-in here, both with a classic 6.35 mm output, and with a balanced 4.4 mm pentacon, where the output power is 1.3 W at 32 ohms of load. A very interesting device, quite a worthy competitor to the popular Topping DX3 Pro Plus. There, by the way, there were no balanced outputs, but here there is, and this is just a mega bonus.

Aggression and speed: SMSL HO100 headphone amplifier review


✔ Aggression and speed: SMSL HO100 headphone amplifier review
🔥 Buy SMSL HO100: https://aliclick.shop/s/14jds2 🔥 or here: https://bit.ly/3URbyGp

Following the rather serious-sounding SMSL DO100 DAC, I suggest considering the HO100 headphone amplifier specially created for it as a pair. Which can please with the presence of a balanced input and output, as many as three gain levels and an output power equal to 1.5 watts per channel, in terms of 32 ohm load. The device is very curious, but like everything else, with its pluses and minuses.
