HiFiMAN Svanar wireless LE Prelude: The HiFiMAN brand means not only very interesting products, but also, above all, huge innovations behind them. Despite the seemingly classic approach to sound and HiFiMAN’s great passion for classic views on sound, the products of this manufacturer only seem classic. A perfect example of this was the introduction of the bluemini module, which enables the excellent sound of the R2R module in a completely wireless version. What about the legendary deva pro model was already amazing. Meanwhile, this was just the...

This time the AUX input was omitted...

MatAudiophiles EarMen CH-AMP CH-AMP INSTAGRAM: LINK Prelude: EarMen is a brand that needs no introduction to anyone in Europe, and I think it is also well known to everyone outside Europe. EarMen’s products are always a great pleasure for me, not only because of the quality of workmanship, but also because of the enormous amount of time and knowledge they put into even the smallest detail. Regardless of the price of the product. This time we will talk about the highest model of their headphone amplifier so far, which is the title CH-AMP. This model...

When music flows in your veins, choose a good guide! Fiio KA11 Fiio KA11: INSTAGRAM LINK: Prelude: Recently, it has been a completely new game for Fiio, starting from a great stationary combo in the form of the k11 or the flagship ka17 dongle, ending with the cheapest and most basic model in terms of dongles, i.e. the KA11. The cheapest offer from fiio is addressed to users who focus primarily on minimalism and simplicity.

MatAudiophiles Hiidizs MP145 Hiidizs MP145: INSTAGRAM LINK: Prelude: The war of planar IEMs has brought us a heavy harvest of many very interesting in-ear headphones models. I remember when Tin hifi presented the P1 model and started a small revolution on the market. Although I liked the P1 very much, it still had a few limitations, one of which was the difficulty in driving and a really huge appetite for power. Then, many manufacturers entered the fray and also wanted to have their share in this market segment. So far, my planar IEM collection...

Fiio BTR7 Prelude: Fiio takes perfection quite seriously in the pursuit of transparent and pristine sound. I remember perfectly the strong and decisive sound of the BTR5 and the even better sound of the BTR52021.

This is how one of the most ambitious Bluetooth projects in recent years, BTR7, was created. It was supposed to be not only an extension of the BTR series to a flagship position...

Fiio KA17: Prelude: Currently, we have a real apogee of dongles and all kinds of mobile miniature DACs/AMPs. At the same time, the Bluetooth section is developing, which is very encouraging, because it’s really nice to be free from cables. However, in the near or distant future, wireless technology will not even come close to the potential of a wired connection. That’s why manufacturers continue to outdo each other with ideas for the best mobile USB sound cards. At the same time, miniaturization and the audio industry have already reached such a...
