IEMatch

iFi IEMatch

Posted on 21 February 20224 August 2022

iFi IEMatch is one of those devices which application is not immediately obvious to the layman – and even to some amateur audiophiles, including myself of course! Once I “got” its purpose though I found it so usefeul, and so effective, that it became a fundamental part of my audio toolbox. Indeed I even own…

hip-dac2

iFi hip-dac2 (and hip-dac)

Posted on 21 February 202221 February 2022

iFi Audio recently sent me an hip-dac2 for review and I’ve been auditioning it for a while with great pleasure. The new version of iFi’s recently discontinued hip-dac, amongst the few low cost mobile dac-amps featured of Audioreviews’ Wall of Excellence, is marketed at a very similar price (€ 189,00) compared to its precedessor. At…

Rose Mojito

Rose Mojito

Posted on 15 February 202215 February 2022

The first model to appear in Rose Technics’ earbuds family back in 2016, Rose Mojito stay as an absolute gem in their category. Subsequently followed by other models named Masya and Maria, all of these including the original Mojito are now discountinued to leave the field to the latest iteration called Maria II, which is…

K's Earphone Bell LBs

K’s Bell LBs – Neutral reference

Posted on 14 February 202215 February 2022

The earbuds market is so flooded with worthless products all costing like one or two french fries portions, and I got so little time to waste that identifying key reference products on this category is not a trivial task for me. Here’s my analysis of K’s Earphone “Bell-LBs” model, which I recently personally purchased for…

IT04

iBasso IT04 – a different one

Posted on 1 November 202115 February 2022

I’ve been loaned an IT04 some time ago, and I spent quite some audition time on it – “time flies when you’re having fun” after all doesn’t it. This model has been released almost 4 years ago if I am not mistaken but it still holds the test of time as a very good mid-tier…

IT07

iBasso IT07 – Lovable Incoherence

Posted on 1 October 202115 February 2022

I’ve been loaned a privately owned iBasso IT07 sample and here’s my experience with that, reported following my usual review format. IT07 is iBasso’s flagship featuring 1 DD + 6 BA, costs a pretty penny – $899,00 – and was released some 3 years after IT04 (1 DD+3 BA), which I also will publish a…

OH1S

Ikko Gems OH1S Review – A Contender

Posted on 18 September 202118 September 2021

Ikko OH1S are the newest release by the same makers of OH10 – one of the just two $200-IEMs stuck onto Audioreview’s Wall of Excellence, and my personal absolute preferred V-shaped IEM south of 3 times its price. This new OH1S model is presented as an evolution of its previous siblings in terms of technology,…

Micro iDSD Signature

iFi Micro iDSD Signature

Posted on 19 August 202114 February 2022

Micro iDSD Signature is the latest evolution of the iDSD series. Its predecessor Micro iDSD Black Label is widely regarded as a great device which contributed to building out on the expectaction regarding its evolution. I did take my sweet time on this one as I’m particularly sensible to the topic. If one thing I…

Tanchjim Darling

Tanchjim Darling – A Rightful Upgrade

Posted on 2 June 202115 February 2022

Today we talk about Tanchjim Darling, Tanchjim’s recently released flagship model which I auditioned with a lot of curiousity considering my appreciation for their direct predecessors Oxygen. Tested at $420. At-a-glance Card PROs CONs Natural acoustic timbre. Not an all rounder – recommended for acoustic genres. Neutral-bright tonality. Competent source required. Great imaging and separation….

Tanchjim Oxygen

Tanchjim Oxygen – Just like a glove

Posted on 11 April 202112 September 2021

Took me a while after first auditioning them, but after some time I came accross a good deal and I acquired my own pair of Tanchjim Oxygen. And nothing… their sound fits my preferences just like a glove. At-a-glance Card PROs CONs Clean acoustic timbre and very appealing neutral-bright tonality. Acoustic-sided presentation, not the best…
