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

12th October 2021 by Golden One

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.

The KTE SU-2 is an excellent device. Truly spectacular performance with the lowest noise I’ve seen from a DDC and top notch jitter performance.

Schiit Yggdrasil ‘More is Less’ Measurements

22nd September 202121st September 2021 by Golden One

The Schiit Yggdrasil ‘More is Less’ is a new DAC from Schiit, which at first look, seems to offer quite incredible performance for an R2R DAC, but on closer inspection, seems to have some quirks which might interfere with reproduction of music.
