A little bit about me, first After the birth of our first daughter, I am an average man that became enamoured with the world of headphones and headphone amplifiers/DACs; I am not a professional reviewer. From an early age, when I had a record player, tape deck, CD player, and subsequently moved into the high-density streaming area, I have always loved music

Today, we're going to discuss the MPA-S125NC speaker amp from Audiophonics, which is a fascinating device. This amplifier is based on a class D module and is Ncore NC122MP. Manufacturers can purchase the OEM parts for the Ncore and Purifi class D amplifier modules and use them to assemble their own products.

DAN CLARK AUDIO VOCE vs FOCAL UTOPIA Comparison Review

This review pits Dan Clark Audio’s (previously MrSpeakers) Voce electrostatic headphones against Focal’s Utopia dynamic driver headphones. I love both of these headphones. For two reasons, I decided to compare the Utopia with and without the Dekoni fenestrated sheepskin pads. For one, I love how they sound like Utopia, and secondly, it makes the tone…

During my conversation with Dr. Fang Bian, CEO of HiFiMAN, at this year's CanJam NYC, he assured me that wireless technology will dominate in the near future. For someone like me, who has deep roots in the world of audiophile enthusiasts, hearing this comment made me realize that "eventually, but we're not there yet" became a reality. I agree with him, however no wireless headphones have ever managed to provide the kind of audiophile quality that I'm looking for. An entry-level wireless open-back planar magnetic headphone is the newest offering from HiFiMAN. My guess is that the Deva is an attempt to prove, via its wireless design and audiophile-grade performance, that this is really possible. So, I've been wondering if that's even conceivable as I've reviewed the HiFiMAN Deva.

I just released an article about the highly regarded FiiO FD5, and its successor is the FiiO FD15. There was a need to review the FD5 because of its outstanding features, even though it is no longer manufactured. Its wonderful warm tone is evocative of the small Sennheiser IE800S, an in-ear monitor that I really like.
