New! the Gustard DAC A26 is out! It utilizes dual flagship D/A chip AK4499EX, and AK4191 modulator for solid performance. It adopts the ultra-low noise K2 to provide precision clocks from local oscillators or external clocks. It supports MQA, and easy access to high-quality online streams, like Roon, UPnP, and HQPlayer NAA at present, and more protocols will be shown in near future.
This is a review and detailed measurements of the Schiit Modi+ stereo USB DAC. It was sent to me by the company . There are three inputs and are nicely stepped through using the momentary switch. The white LED that indicates the selected input is nice but alas, there is some bleed into the other indicators. Back panel is simple enough: A USB adapter is included to power the unit although you could accomplish the same by using a USB port on your...
This is a review and detailed measurements of the Schiit Magni Heretic headphone amplifier. It was sent to me by the company . You can get it in silver or back. Either way, the side and back panels are in red which I like. As you see, there is not much to the functionality other than volume control and three stage gain settings which I appreciated. Previous Schiit Heresy model lacked this which likely hurt its performance in noise department....
