Flux Lab Acoustics FA-10, FA-10 Pro, FA-12, FCN-10 & FA-12s Amplifiers - Summit-Fi for the People?: Reviews, Impressions & Discussion
I guess I wasn't very clear from the start and it somehow got messy. I didn't mean that Flux Labs is no more never to return back, I'm sorry if it sounded that way. I only meant that they are taking a pause until things will get back on track. Of course they will be back at some point, crafting...- DarKu

Review by 'DarKu' on item 'Balanced & Unbalanced Burson Conductor 3XR/3R'
My Video Review: At the end of 2019 I was given the honors for a world-premiere Burson Conductor 3 Reference review, which changed the way I am looking at ESS Sabre-based DACs/Preamps and headphone amp combos. From linear, lean sounding and straight as a line in terms of frequency response...- DarKu

Denafrips Sub-Brand or Rip-off? The case of Musician Audio's Pegasus R2R DAC
Dear Cat Music, I never ever published a review for the Ares 2, only for the Ares 1. Otherwise I would have a Youtube video about it, a written article about it, an instagram post and a twitter post about it (which by the way cannot be deleted). You can think anything you want about me, you can...- DarKu

Reply to review by 'DarKu' on item 'FiiO M15'
@Arctican Congrats!!! I listened to a SP1000M and was underwhelmed by its performance, no way I would pay 3.2K for that thing. M15 drove even a pair of Audeze LCD-4 from the 3.5mm out so that says a lot about its power output. The only thing I dislike about M15 is that it gets too warm if I...- DarKu

FiiO M15 Audio Player | Dual AK4499EQ | 7490 mAh Battery | 64 GB ROM | $1299.99
If you want a linear experience go for M11 PRO, if you want a slightly warmer presentation with the best bass and midrange I've heard in a DAP, then go for M15- DarKu

2.5mm and 4.4mm are identical in terms of power delivery. However, 4.4mm has a bigger surface/contact area and as a result will offer a slightly smaller resistance, I would use only the 4.4mm output with full size headphones.- DarKu

Indeed, balanced out is incredible powerful. Just make sure to use low gain and disengage the "over-ear mode" with your IEMs. Always check the volume position before plugging your headphones, I almost fried some IEMs :)- DarKu

Review by 'DarKu' on item 'FiiO M15'
Who would thought that at their flagship year from its inception, FiiO would announce at their Winter Launch Event in an One More Thing stunt, their highest performance and highly anticipated M15 DAP. What was quite unusual even for FiiO is that instead of just showing it to the world and...- DarKu
