The Alien+ By Shozy
An LCD screen. It is perhaps inevitable that the one distinctive "lack of feature" on one of my favorite budget DAPs, the Shozy Alien, has now been done away with by actually adding it into the newly launched A...
The HDACC By Essence: Part 2 – HDMI Audio
We first published a standard review of the HDACC as an audiophile DAC/Amp using a 2.1 set up last December. We gave it an 8.0 rating based on traditional audio playback and its functionality as well as build q...
The Lionheart By Effect Audio
I have had quite a few IEMs in the last two years that I have spoken about fondly. IEM's that have great potential only to be held back by a stock cable that serves a basic purpose rather than delivers exceptio...
The TH-X00 Purpleheart By Massdrop X Fostex
Alas...the life of a reviewer, indeed. I admit, I smile ear to ear each time I see a new version of the TH-X00 from Massdrop that sprouts up for sale. In this summer solstice of 2017, I'll be taking a gander a...
The Flares Pro By Flare Audio
This is my first time reviewing a Flare IEM, though for Mike he has already covered the R2A and R2 PRO a few years ago (2015) and gave it a huge 9.1. Well, times have moved on and 2 years in the world of perso...

Time and time again, DUNU have captivated audiences with their fearless commitment to innovation, sonics and customer value. Established in 1994 as an OEM manufacturer, DUNU soon grew to be much more with their...
The AF180 By Audiofly
Hailing from Australia, Audiofly makes pro-musician stage and recording headphones with multi-driver technology since its inception in 2012. It's one of the few brands which has a full series of dynamic and BA-...
The CL1 By RHA
Marmite. There I said it and for those that have tasted this "delicacy" will know exactly what I mean by that term because the RHA CL1 is exactly that in a more enticing wrapper. Truth be told this is the revie...
The M-03 & KS-H4 Electrostatic System By Kingsound
It has been just over 3 years since we last reviewed the "process" of electrostatic product development from Hong Kong manufacturers, Kingsound Audio. At the time they had just moved past the initial "prototype...
The Soloist SL MK2 By Burson Audio
Kind of hard to say no to Burson, isn't it? At this point, it seems like Burson is a never-fail company that can churn out wins in their sleep. There have been far too many stellar product releases in the ampli...
The Savanna By Noble Audio
Nearly 18 months ago I reviewed the Noble 4 Classic and felt it was an excellent tool in a reviewer's arsenal of reference earphones or IEMs. It's pretty neutral and very transparent with a little treble energy...
The i5 DAP By Cayin
The last two Cayin DAP's we reviewed, the N6 and the N5 were solid traditional style non-touch based media players that, initially with the N6, went straight for the audiophile market and then, subsequently, wi...
The M5 DAP By Shanling
ESS Sabre was THE DAC of 2014-2015 for quite a lot of audiophile gear makers from DAPs to desktops. However, this chip series can be a nightmare to work with and if not properly filtered and implemented the res...
The ERIB-5a Planar IEM By oBravo
If you have been gazing at audio trade shows pics for the last two years you might have noticed a company called oBravo pop up quite a lot with their rather unique headphone driver designs combining dynamic dri...

The Pryma By Sonus Faber
Sonus Faber, primarily an Italian brand, has launched their first and solid attempt at a nice sounding headphone with their Pryma. When I'd first heard their announcement of a future headphone release, I was a...
