SMSL D400ES DAC Audio Science Review

This is a review and detailed measurements of the SMSL D400ES Balanced Stereo DAC with Bluetooth support. Conclusions SMSL D400ES delivers flawless state of the art performance in digital to audio conversion. It also looks quite attractive. The only negatives are the cost and the rotary control. Not much else to say really. In case you are comparing it to its D400EX sibling, I think it performs a bit better yet costs less. I am happy to recommend SMSL D400ES DAC.   https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/smsl-d400es-dac-review.40884/

Topping L70 Headphone Amp Audio Science Review

This is a review and detailed measurements of Topping L70 balanced headphone amplifier. It was sent to me by the company and costs US $349. The L70 has the beautiful white segmented display.

Schiit Magni Heretic Headphone Amp Review

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....
