    Miltra OTL Valve Headphone Amps from Poland

    I see this brand doesn't have a thread on here, and I haven't seen any owners here either. https://www.miltra.pl/index.php/kategoria-produktu/tube-amplifiers/ I'm hoping to be getting an OTL-8XT soon in for review, and thought I'd create a thread for the brand. They look like fantastic...

    Tin HiFi Impressions Thread

    Well Tin HiFi have been around for a while with plenty of owners here but the discussion tends to get buried quite quickly and it's about time they had a dedicated thread. I have so far listened to the T2 Pro, T3 and P1. The T4 have just landed and they are sounding mighty fine right out of the...

    Matrix Audio Element Series Thread

    Hi guys, has anyone had any experience with Eufonika? I spoke to someone the other day who had one and really liked it, I was intrigued and have requested a sample.

    Atlas Cables Zeno (Headphone and IEM) thread

    There doesn't seem to be a lot of info on these cables here on Head-Fi, but I have the IEM version and have just got the headphone version too. They are excellent value for money in my opinion, they don't use solder at the connectors and the cables are made of high purity OCC copper. Both...

    Earnine Thread

    So I saw there wasn't a thread dedicated to Earnine, and feel there should be one as they offer superb value IEM's, I recently reviewed the EN120 which is a single BA IEM for under $50. They make their own BA's as they are owned by TSST, which makes them even more interesting.

    I don't suppose anyone has these? http://www.ultrasone.audio/en/products/editions/ultrasone-edition-8ex I've got them on loan for 6 weeks to review, maybe not worth the price ($2199.00) SQ wise, but the look, feel and build are certainly high end:

    JDS Labs EL / OL DAC Owners (AK4490EQ DAC's with filter switch)

    It seems these are heavily underappreciated DAC's, I own both. These are 2 pieces of equipment I bought straight after reviewing, the OL DAC is used for my main computer setup, and the EL DAC as the DAC for my Hifi system. I have soldered the DIP switches to my OL DAC, and have another DIP...

    ATC HiFi HDA-DP10 / HDA-DP20 High Res Players (AKM4490 / Dual WM8740)

    Hi Guys, Any of you heard of ATC-HiFi? They are being sold at Richer Sounds in the UK, I am guessing they are a re-brand as one of their amps is the same as an XDuoo one. Both players have a line-out socket, the DP10 is also an optical out socket, whereas the DP20 is coaxial out. The DP10...
