Hidizs DH1000 DAC/Amp Review Introduction: DAC/Amp solutions are not as common as DAPs, but there is a market for them because of their versatility and compatibility, giving you a high resolution listening experience across different devices, be it from your mobile phone, laptop, or tablet. Since many stream their music out of convenience, this is an optimal solution without trading off sound quality.

Introduction: Not to be confused with Polish company CustomArt’s previous generation of earphones, also named Harmony 8.2, the Harmony is Singapore-based start up Fatfreq’s maiden entry level offering consisting of a single full range BA driver set up set in a universal acrylic shell. What is unique about this particular model is that they collaborated with a local artist to create the faceplates that characterise this model. Also, they are utilising a vented design, which does contribute to a slightly more open sound. The Harmony is priced at...

ADV.Sound graciously sent me a set of the EVO X for review, in return for my honest opinion. I've had some experience with bluetooth earphones, and generally I do not have a great impression of them because they typically sound very generic and bass heavy, with a lack of clarity and a very forward, in-your-face kind of sound signature. The Evo X defies that stereotype The packaging is fairly utilitarian but comes well accessorised. It comes with a nice zipper carrying case, and a short micro usb cable is included for charging, as well as extra foam...

Before I begin the review, I would like to take the opportunity to thank Dan and team at Periodic Audio for allowing me to review their debut IEM lineup. As a budding reviewer, I really do appreciate the opportunity given. The IEMs will be sent back to Periodic Audio after the review. Because I can only post one review for each item at a time, the same opening paragraphs will be repeated for all three IEMs, with only the review on sound differing. A short preamble before the review proper: Periodic Audio takes an interesting approach to their...

Before I begin the review, I would like to take the opportunity to thank Dan and team at Periodic Audio for allowing me to review their debut IEM lineup. Because I can only post one review for one item at a time, the same opening paragraphs will be used for all three IEMs, with only the part on sound differing. A short preamble before the review proper: Periodic Audio takes an interesting approach to their design philosophy. I will not bore you with details here – you can find all you need to know about their company and approach on their very...

Before I begin the review, I would like to thank Advanced Sound for providing this review set of M4s for free in exchange for my honest opinion and review. As a budding reviewer, I really appreciate the opportunity given, because most of the reviews are done up by more senior members with a lot more reviewing experience. I am in no way affiliated with the company.   For this review I shall not dwell too much on packaging and accessories or design, but the bulk of my review will revolve around the M4’s sound as well as how ear tip rolling changes...

For the purposes of this review I will refer to the iDSD Micro Black Label as the BL Thanks and appreciation goes out to iFi Audio for organizing this tour – it is a privilege to be given this opportunity to review the BL. This unit will be returned after 1 week to be passed on to the next reviewer in the tour.       Preamble: This is my second official review on Head-Fi, so I would gladly welcome any suggestions for improvement, or tips on what I could include so that it would be more helpful for other Head-Fi’ers in evaluating gear for...

Sources: LG G5, Onkyo DP-X1 Spinfit tips (stock)   When I visited Japan, I felt like a small kid in a free-to-try candy store when I entered the stores of Yodobashi and BIC Camera. They had rows upon rows of earphones available for audition. I had heard a lot about the Ocharaku brand, its unique tornado equalizer driver system, but have not heard their products.   Unfortunately for me, the majority of the models had a treble tuning that overwhelmed my ears. Only one model stood out – that was the Co-Donguri Shizuku. First impressions were that...
