@ian91, Bravo! 👏👏👏 A well deserved front page for your brilliant review and for Aür Audio.

Akros video on the Pure Planar, SPD, Micro Planar controversies. My view is as the same as the TRN Xuanwu, driver innovation today may be tomorrow's traditional driver but manufacturers need to be upfront about it.

I have been told they have stopped taking orders to catch up with the backlog, which is a sensible approach. I hope you get them soon.

I am 100% serious and I mean dead serious, when I say....I agree with you on this one. 😁

The Star River is a solid new offering from TRI. I have received a set for review. It is dual dynamic, 10mm and 6mm combination with tunning switches. The Star River comes with a nice set of accessories, including a set of Clarion tips, but apart from the sound quality, the beautiful silver...

Hardly, Ian. I bet you have a lot to teach me. In any case, my pronunciation might be wrong. Don't tell anyone, my German is dreadful.

As I understand it, Abel and Nicholas chose the name Aür on the basis of the Greek word. It appears the Greek used the word to denote coins. The Romans used the word, Aür, to mean gold, aurum and aura, plural. It is said to be derived from the Greek word to denote coin or coins. Given coins...

The bass line on the first track of the second album, Wamono Groove, is the same as the track which starts, "voulez vuos coucher avec moi ce soir" 😀. Good album, I enjoyed listening to jazz funk, followed by oriental jazz fusion. Thanks.

My sincere respect to you. You make your point with maturity, having a discussion and recognising the other point of view without degenerating the entire discussion into a slanging match, which often happens on audio forums. Much respect to you! We are here to share opinions not fight each other.

It is the DUW02, the original Dunu interchangeable cable, now discontinued unfortunately. Great cable, which is malleable and flows with ease.

Rhapsody at the moment. Loving the sound of the Aür Audio Aure with this track: Wolfgang Haffner - Concierto Aranjuez. Even if you are not into the Jazz/Classical crossover, listen to the expansive stage, the separation of instruments, and the drums, gentle strikes, the decay of the cymbals...

Exactly my thoughts when I read your absolutely delightful Alita review! I thought, we share the same country, same hobby, same forums, same taste in music, I even had a set sent through you to me, why on earth have we not met before now? We must arrange something.

I hear you, but I think it is the end result that matters. As I understand it, some of the tweaking available to us (such as Eq.) reduce the sound quality, so having a device which maintains the sound quality while giving us the tonal flavour we want, must be a good thing. Judging by most...

For me it is a very interesting year. Sitting here, listening to the Aure on the Dethonray Pegasus SG1, I feel like I could stop my relentless search for perfection.....but I will wait to hear the Alita before I make that judgement.

Nicholas tells me we should expect the Tribrid sometime in July.

Thanks guys for keeping the thread lively with a wide range of music to remind us of the forgotten and great discoveries.

I just love the photograph, never mind the gear!

Talking about the R2 Red, they have risen again in my estimation after I paired them with the Dethonray Pegasus SG1. The quality of the mid-bass and sub-bass just shone through.

Good to have you on board. Nice, collection you have there.

Yes, the gold version looks good but the Standard SG1 drives my hard to drive Blon B20 Planar Magnetic Headphones quite well and having the option of 3.5mm is useful.

Cool Alex, the TRI Starlights are rather special.

Hi Nick, I understand your frustration with the lack of response. My view is, there may be various reasons, one of which may be budget constraints, Fiio may be big in the audio world but is a relatively small company in the Tech world. A small team of technical support staff will have to...

Pairings Dethonray Pegasus SG1 paired with Tangzu’s Wan'er SG Jeff Golub: Cold Sweat The presentation of the bass is as good as I have heard the Wan'er SG with any other device. The inexpensive Wan'er SG sounding great on the Pegasus SG1. The mid-bass is rich and well defined with hints of...
