    4.00 star(s)
    TempoTec V3: My First DAP Review Intro Digital Audio Players or DAPs are devices similar to the famous "MP4" players we used as kids but designed with a clear audience in mind: music lovers. That's why they offer high-resolution codecs, different types of outputs capable of delivering a significant amount of power and various conveniences like equalizers and streaming services. Today, I'm going to talk to you about my first DAP. Thanks to TempoTec, I will be evaluating and informing you about the TempoTec V3, a recently released DAP positioned...

    Whizzer DA1: the affordable dongle that could have been the best... Intro Whizzer had already amazed me with its Kylin HE10, an IEM with a truly spectacular V-shaped signature that had the ability to stand out in the mid-frequencies despite the tuning. Today, I am pleased to bring you a different proposal from Whizzer: the DA1 dongle, the budget option ($27 USD) that the brand offers for listening to high-quality music.

    Simgot EM6L: EW 200 on steroids? Intro Today's IEM bears the name of the Greek mythological bird Phoenix, and it makes me think that this is what Simgot has achieved this year: a rebirth from their ashes by offering excellent sonic capabilities in their latest releases. Today's EM6L (or Phoenix) is a $110 USD IEM (currently on sale for $100 USD) featuring a dynamic driver and four balanced armatures.

    KZ Krila: the IEM king? Intro KZ, following a formula similar to previous releases (D-FI and AS24) and backed by a fairly aggressive marketing campaign claiming that these IEMs have no rivals under $1000 USD, launched the Krila, which are currently available for $19 USD.
