With the release of the new ES9039 chip lineup, the folks at SMSL immediately set about updating all of their most popular solutions. Including, of course, the much-talked-about SMSL D-6 DAC. Only now they have installed the newest and most modern ES9039Q2M converter, the top XMOS solution on USB and instead of the questionable TRS outputs - a classic pair of balanced XLR. Otherwise, everything remains unchanged: bluetooth chip with AptX HD and LDAC codecs, remote control, a large, readable display, the ability to correct jitter and change digital filters, as well as support for MQA to CD level. In other words, the D-6s is, as they say, pumped up to the max.

Hidizs S9 Pro Plus DAC review: studio-quality sound

✔ Hidizs S9 Pro Plus DAC review: studio-quality sound
🔥 Hidizs S9 Pro Plus on the official website: https://bit.ly/40XCW95.

When it comes to tuning mobile DACs, there are several mutually exclusive directions: someone prepares a sound with a slightly excessive weight and an obvious melodic bias, someone strives to make it extremely technical, clear and maximally assertive, and someone, denying everything, tries to follow the classical canons of studio quality. This is exactly the way the hero of our today's review - Hidizs S9 Pro Plus. Based on the familiar ESS ES9038Q2M chip, it has two volume buttons, the ability to quickly switch digital filters, impressive output power, as well as support for PCM and DSD of the highest quality. A very curious device, in my opinion, and we are talking about it today.

In addition to a whole bunch of relatively budget solutions, the new line of headphones from Simgot also includes instances that can compete for the title of the best sound in the middle or even high price segment. We probably won't touch the top ones yet, but more or less affordable Simgot EA1000 - just have to take a closer look at them. They are based on a single, but literally stuffed with unique technologies speaker, completely made of metal and offer us as many as three noticeably different sound settings. Including, of course, everyone's favorite Harman.

To be honest, I hadn't even heard of Binary before, but they've teamed up with famous English-speaking blogger Gizaudio to release the rather serious Chopin hybrid headphones. They are based on an 8mm ceramic driver and as many as three custom balanced armatures. The model does not look very flashy, but tasteful. Let's talk about them today.

Not only did they somehow fit a 14.5mm driver in them, but they also provided the model with three removable filters and three sets of different-sounding ear cushions, which together allows you to completely transform the tuning from virtually flat AFC to absolutely unrestrained expression. Everything is to your taste and to your individual mood. We're talking about them in detail today.

I'm sure many of you have or have at least heard of the once sensational MoonDrop Aria in-canal headphones among heavy music lovers. Since then, of course, at least two variations with the prefix Edition have been released, but the manufacturer decided to launch a full-fledged second revision only now. Looking ahead, the work was really fantastic, so we are a couple of steps closer to those Kato and Variations. I have no doubt that this is another hit in its segment, but let's go in order.

About a year ago, you and I already reviewed the wireless and quite impressive in terms of power Halo 100 speaker. Time passes, and interest in this model does not decline, so the company Tronsmart decided to release its updated version - Halo 110. There are changes, they are quite enough, and the novelty sounds much more interesting than its previous incarnation. Otherwise, the same IPX6 protection, up to 18 hours of operation, support for AUX and flash drives, light music and a strong and strict design.

Today, I'm going to offer to step away from the headphone theme a bit and review the near-universal Tribit StormBox Micro 2 wireless speaker. I personally liked it with real 12 hours of battery life, field-proven protection from dust and water, 9-band equalizer and really interesting sound in every sense. I took it with me many times - only positive impressions. Unfortunately, I didn't catch the first version, but the second one is really just cosmos.

🔥 Buy SMSL DO400: https://bit.ly/3SuERjn 🔥 or here: https://bit.ly/49pQfmx

As you may know, I really like the lineup of DACs from SMSL DO-series. Several generations of the DO200 DAC have been released recently, followed by an even more advanced, but in the same case, DO300 and today we are talking about the fourth incarnation of the model - DO400. The same flagship 8-channel converter ES9039MSPRO, the latest USB module from XMOS and bluetooth chip from Qualcomm with AptX HD and LDAC codecs, only now we also installed several proprietary operational amplifiers Texas Instruments, providing different standard outputs for headphones. And still we have AES/EBU and I2S at the input. In general, if DO300 lacks only a headphone output, you should definitely take a closer look. But, as it always happens, there are nuances.

We've already discussed in detail the entire lineup of updated mobile DACs from Shanling, except for their smallest and most affordable variant, the UA1 Plus. And inside, it's actually no less serious than its older comrades. Imagine, two converter chips from Cirrus Logic, output power up to 80 mW for 32 ohm load, support for PCM up to 768 kHz and DSD up to 11.3 MHz, as well as simply negligible power consumption and the ability to choose one of 5 filters built into the converter. And that's not to mention the simply phenomenal level of measurement and the stunningly melodic sound.

A while back we reviewed a rather curious mobile DAC called the MuseHiFi M3. I remembered it for its really mature, rich sound and simply nightmarish distortions on measurements. Today we are going to get acquainted with its updated version - MuseHiFi M3 II. Running ahead of time, I'll say that they've improved the device significantly, they haven't forgotten about the sound, and everything has become in perfect order with measurements.
