    THX AAA 789 Replacement

    Nazar from S-Audio finally produced a device with a balanced output, but it is no amp, it's a DAC — FIRDAC Mini. It is the best DAC I ever had. Just another plane in terms of authenticity, sounds separation, stage, and ability to evoke emotional response from the listener. Listening to it for...

    My headphones from Maxim Kryvonos got tested against Audeze and HIFIMAN. Sorry, it's in Ukrainian only, but modern-day machine translation allows reading in any language... MM-500 vs Arya Stealth vs Final Carbon Mk3.1 (Bionic precursor)

    S-Audio Focus DAC/amp with binaural DSP

    I will call Nazar and ask to reply you. He's been very busy recently due to personal reasons and war related issues.

    I never used portable players as transport with any of my Focuses, sorry. I had been using Audirvana on my PC for a few years but last December I moved to use BeagleBone Black as a transport and I'm happy ever since.

    S-Audio Focus DAC/amp with binaural DSP

    I'm my books, it sounded properly powered but I never listened to them with powerful amps so not able to judge. And, truth be told, it was so long ago, three Focuses earlier)

    Sorry, I never had HE500 as mine, just borrowed for some time couple of years ago. I'm glad you like Focus 3, and I'm sure you will enjoy Focus 4 big time when you get a chance to hear it.

    S-Audio Focus DAC/amp with binaural DSP

    Yes, it was enough for me. BTW, the new Focus 4 is even more powerful, and it features unique digital filters of Focus 3 with upgraded analog output and power. The sound it produces is one of the most realistic I've ever heard. The speed and sound separation levels of this DAC are making...

    Meanwhile, there is a new version Focus 3 which is a major improvement over the previous ones. It has an A-Class headamp now, new custom-made digital filters, and updated binaural mode which introduces fewer changes to the frequency characteristics while retaining its "magic" holographic and...

    My beloved Final Carbon Mk3.1 (has the same membrane as Bionics) + S-Audio Focus 3.

    As to the FOCUS, I have installed new connectors on my mains cable (Zu Audio Event) and it opened new horizons for me. I've been in a positive shock ever since)
