BAETIS AUDIO REFERENCE 4 MINGO STREAMER - REVIEW

The Baetis Audio Reference 4 Mingo left streamers at nearly twice its price on fire, smoking, and begging for mercy, in its tracks. Or, at least, as coupled to the Mola Mola Tambaqui, that is how it seemed. And that would be the kindest thing I could say, given the disparity of its performance relative to the others.

EXASOUND AUDIO s82 STREAMER - REVIEW

Before you go for the big-buck TOTL media players from other well-known brands, you will definitely want to audition the Exasound Audio s82 Streaming DAC. It’s that good, and it may well save you several thousand dollars while giving you similar or even better sound performance.

BAETIS AUDIO REVOLUTION X4 STREAMER - REVIEW

The Revolution X4 is an outstanding digital streamer that I am certain believes itself to be a synthesis of both digital and analog. At least, that is what it has shown me as it has served my musical collection and every genre therein as such.

BRICASTI DESIGN M1SE - REVIEW

The Bricasti Design M1SE has proven itself even beyond what the research had led me to believe. Perhaps it was the synergy conjured up by so many exceptional reference components at the time of its review. And, no doubt, the M1SE’s prodigious ability as a high fidelity DAC with a host of options—15(!)—so as to be tailored for most, if not all listening preferences, is but another star for its abilities.

GRIMM AUDIO MU1 - REVIEW

The Grimm Audio MU1 streamer is easily at the forefront of technological progress and stands as testament to the fact that high-fidelity musical reproduction is light years ahead of where it was just a few short years ago, let alone the days of my youth. But that is only half of the picture!

Sonnet Audio Morpheus DAC with Hermes Digital Bridge - Review

The Sonnet digital duo, the Morpheus DAC and the Hermes streamer are what I would call the perfect products for those seeking accurate, natural, and musically pleasing sound.

SONORE MICRORENDU 1.5 - REVIEW

The microRendu 1.5 is clearly a superbly transparent streamer, that, when connected to a quality DAC, will make listening to a networked library a breeze. With onboard apps in SonicOrbiter, one can use the 1.5 in a variety of settings…with Roon, HQPlayer, DLNA, Squeezebox Server, etc.
