SMSL HO100 Audio Science Review (Headphone Amp)

This is a review and detailed measurements of the SMSL HO100 balanced (input) stereo headphone amplifier. It was sent to me by Aoshida Audio and costs US $149. The HO100 matches its companion DO100 DAC. Switches feel nice and so does the volume control. While 4.4mm penticon connector is provided, its output is no more than 1/4 HP jack (so it is for convenience, not power). What is unusual and welcome at this price point is inclusion...

Topping DM7 8-Channel DAC Audio Science Review

This is a review and detailed measurements of the Topping DM7 8-channel USB DAC. The DM7 is simplicity in itself as you can tell from its rear terminals: USB input is the only one provided which is just fine with me.

EDIT: remote control is...

Audio science review SMSL DA-6 stereo desktop class D amplifier.

This is a review and detailed measurements of the SMSL DA-6 stereo desktop class D amplifier. Ah, what a pleasure it was to unpack the DA-6 and see this nice thin packaging! That niceness extends to the back, fixing one of my main complaints with compact amplifiers: Instead of stacking the binding posts on top of each other and thereby making it very difficult to put large binding posts, they are lined up horizontally. This allowed me to connect my locking banana...

Audio science review Topping A90 Discrete balanced pre/ head amplifier

This is a review and detailed measurements of the new Topping A90 Discrete balanced preamplifier and headphone amplifier. Announcement was supposed to be a few hours from now but one of the distributor already released it so here we go.

Of course as the name indicates, this design uses discrete transistors rather...
