Measurements
Schiit Yggdrasil ‘OG’ Measurements (One month warmup test)
Measurements of the Schiit Yggdrasil A2 DAC and testing if there are any differences with the infamous warmup of this DAC.
Ferrum OOR and HYPSOS measurements
The Ferrum OOR is an incredibly powerful but compact headphone amplifier with a unique design that promises to drive hungry headphones to the fullest extent.
Lotoo PAW6000 Review and Measurements
The Lotoo PAW6000 sounds phenomenal, it’s built beautifully, and the software and features are a joy to use. This is an exceptionally well made product and just about everything there is to say about it is very positive. I would like to see a little bit bigger soundstage, but the exceptional detail, timbre, and overall tonality more than make up for it.
Bel Canto DAC EX1 Mini-Review and Measurements
The Bel-Canto E1X is perhaps the most comprehensive ‘all in one’ product I’ve seen. And has everything you need for your setup
dCS Bartok (with headphone amp) Measurements
The dCS Bartok is a ‘summit fi’ level DAC with a hefty pricetag of £12,500. But whilst the performance is great in many areas, others leave some questions unanswered.
Denafrips Terminator Plus (With Gaia) Measurements
The Terminator plus is a high performing R2R dac and the flagship dac in Denafrips’ product range. Now that I have a unit in-house I wanted to get a full set of measurements completed.
Mutec MC3+ USB DDC/Reclocker Measurements
The Mutec MC3+ is a reclocker with some interesting features, but performance and build that leaves one to wonder if the price is justified
Denafrips Gaia Measurements (With Terminator Clock-Sync Test)
The Gaia is a great DDC with perhaps the most comprehensive featureset of any I’ve tested. It’s a great match for the Terminator.
