    Moto Z and Moto Z Force - perfect candidates for a high end DAC/AMP

    I'm finding it hard to believe that a 3rd party hasn't developed a Moto Mod dac/amp yet for the Moto X line of modular phones. The new Moto Z and Moto Z Force phones are perfect candidates to do this. Or, perhaps I'm behind the times.   Anyone know of any rumors or new about a dac/amp being...

    Headfier's, I Need your input: What attributes do you commonly use to critique sound quality?

    Howdy Headfiers!   I'm going a little hypothetical here and was hoping to gain your input on a question I've been asking myself for a while. Now, this question of course will lean towards subjective answers, but I think it it would be great to get some consensus on this 'what if' question...

    Dayton Audio DTA-1 Portable Desktop Amplifier Review

        Just finished up my Dayton Audio DTA-1 Video review review. The DTA-1 is a Class T amplifier which is very efficient, but not at the cost of sound quality. I use one at home in my computer setup, as well as at work. I even replaced my NAD with one of these suckers...just don't tell NAD...

    HIFIMAN HM601 Unbox-Review

    Hey Guys,   I've uploaded another unbox video review and this time around its the awesome HIFIMAN HM601 audio player. It's very similar to my sflo2 in regards to SQ, but the 601 edges it out in body, richness, and timbre (although a bit more colored). All in all, it's the best DAP I've laid...

    KOSS PortaPros - a pictoral review

    I've just been schooled by a pair of $30 headphones. Many of you know them and love them. Some of  you even sleep with them next to your pillow, because you dare not part with them more than a night. I bit the bullet (...albeit a small financial bullet) and bought me a pair. I don't think I need...
