I am a big fan of dongles as I have a super busy life with work and kids and I am not using proper desktop amps and DACs anymore. I need simple and quick solutions. I was maybe the first adopter that used a dragonfly 1.2 with the first android version that could support usb audio back in 2015 when nobody back then knew and discussed about them. Also, my needs changed with time as from a speakers user became by necessity a headphone lover. I acquired many headphones throughout all these years but I developed a particular passion for the whole...

Usually I am not doing reviews except for the products I am interested to buy for myself. I find the price of go link exceptionally reasonable and normally I would not ask for a review unit but as I could not find one back in Xmas to buy I asked for a review unit to have it as soon as possible. When eventually I found it to buy in Amazon myself ifi have managed to sent me one and thus I have the obligation to do a review now. I am fan of ifi products I have a few of them and I like the company a lot. I find usually their products to have good...

First I feel the need to apologise to ifi audio for the delay of this review. The last 3 years I am awfully busy with one million things and this why I refused in the past to do any more reviews. I thought that I will have some time this summer when my family is away to do a review but nonetheless I was even more busy than ever. However, I asked to do one more review because I am in love with dongles and with the ifi audio sound and simply I could not resist to not listen their new dongle. I believe that I am one among of the very first early...

In this review, I need to divert a bit. This is because ipurifier 3 is a special product; in comparison with a headphone for which we all know its purpose, ipurifier 3 is special product for which we first need to answer if we need a gadget like this at all. So my review will focus more to what a product like this can contribute to the audio chain rather than how compares with other similar products which actually there are not so many available in the market. So a potential buyer of ipurifier 3 needs to answer two important questions: Bits are...

Two years ago I have bought my first two ifi devices. The spdif ipurifier and the first version of the ione. I believe that these two devices are the best value for money that not only ifi audio can produce but also that exists in the budget audiophile world currently. However, both devices are better suited to the hifi speakers world from where I am coming from as a hobbyist. The arrival of our baby shifted my attention to the headphone space since I cannot use my speakers system anymore. Thus, last year I was looking with much interested two new...

I am writing this rewiew since ifi have contacted me to review some of their products, a privilege which I find particularly extremely difficult to reject. One of these products is the iematch and subsequently the iematch 2.5. As all of my reviews are made from the point of view of a simple consumer as such my reviews are quite unconventional which means I do not provide unboxing or nice photos or discussing what the box contains inside. For these, please look on more professional reviews or better on youtube. I provide a different angle from a...

This is a review of the Burson Audio V5i Dual Amp installed to the Little Bear B4 tube hybrid amplifier. I want to thank once again Charles and Burson Audio for giving me this opportunity. I had for a couple of months the little bear b4 hybrid portable amplifier that I got for 53£. The sound quality was good out of the box but as I know from experience with these Chinese audio equipment that a further investment in components increase the sound quality considerably for a reasonable cost. However, in the little bear b4 you can not change the tubes...

There are 3 main reasons for my review: I am posting to fulfil my obligations because it is required as part of the loan review process from Ifi audio. I will do the review in an informal way from the point of view of a simple consumer that offers an honest opinion in order to help other consumers at his level to choose a product and I hope some of you will find this review somewhat useful. More importantly, I hope I will provide useful consumer feedback to Ifiaudio to design new products that fulfil some additional requirements. In my past review...

First of all, I need to apologize to all because I am not a headphone person, I have very budget headphones which I use only out of nessecity and my review will appear so poor in comparison with so many experts in this forum. I am posting in this forum simply because it is required as part of the loan review process. However, I will do the review in an informal way from the point of view of simple consumer that offers an honest opinion in order to help other consumers at his level to choose a product and I hope some of you will find this review...
