Cambridge Audio Connects With Tidal Connect
When a hifi offers Tidal Connect, you can send your Tidal music stream directly from the ether to your hifi without the need for additional hardware or apps in between. That’s what I call Easy-Fi.

Exposure. Typically, when you think about mature men and exposure, it’s not a good thing.
More dongle DAC madness, this time from Astel&Kern.
When Halcro’s dm58 monoblock power amplifier hit the market back in 2002, Stereophile ordained it a truly revolutionary audio product.
Time flies when you’re having fun.
Legacy USB DACs. There I said it. These days, DACs without streamers are beginning to feel like relics.
This just in: The organizer of the event, the HIGH END SOCIETY Service GmbH, is pleased to announce that the HIGH END 2021 is now fully booked, even before the registration deadline at the end of March!
All’s I can say is thank you — Bob Lichtenberg, Christopher Bell, John DeVore, Erik Owen, Frankie Richards, Nick Kelling, Dave Gross, and Stereophile — for a beautiful, moving, and thought provoking story. Bravo!!
The correlation between measurements and hearing is tenuous at best. If we use history as a guide, engineers in the 1940’s were convinced people preferred narrow band music reproduction. They’d done blind listening tests to prove it!
Two of the principals of Riviera Audio Labs, Luca Chiomenti (audio designer and engineer) and Silvio Delfino (sales and marketing) spent a few decades talking about the kind of amplifier they’d like to make, if they ever decided to make one. Five years ago, on […]
The Denafrips ARES II DAC uses R-2R DAC technology to convert digital to analog, an approach I’ve found can please the ears with a naturalness that evades many a chip-based DAC.
The diminutive and delicious Helm BOLT DAC recently worked itself onto my short list of Favorite DACs. If we add its $99.99 asking price into the equation, we come up with a verified HiFi Bargain.
The time between the test lab and the living room was only supposed to be a short breather for the sweet little Avantgarde Acoustic. But “short and sweet” just wasn’t possible: During its layover with us, the UNO XD cast such a spell over everyone […]
Have I mentioned I miss HiFi Shows?
I do not know exactly how many DACs and Streamers I’ve reviewed over the years, but the number is in three figure territory. And when I say reviewed, this means I’ve spent a minimum of weeks, most often months, in some cases years, with each […]
One of the greatest misconceptions in all of Audiophiledom is the notion that measurements are objective.
No matter how smart you think your DAC is, the Weiss DAC501 is probably smarter. A lot smarter. Heck, its Quick Start Guide is 10 pages long.
I have a thing for industrial design. Here, let me show you…
totaldac fans and followers already know that Vincent Brient makes complete systems — from streamers to DACs to preamps to amps to speakers. The new d100 are a more room- and wallet-friendly affair as compared to the company’s d150-anniversary speaker.
For most people, the idea of ever owning a stereo system that comes with a six-figure price tag is about as far from reality as Mars is from Earth. Göbel High End flung open the doors so we could enjoy an exclusive tour of the […]
Today we’re going to be comparing three dongle DAC/Headphone amps that are here for review mixed in with a few DragonFlys for good measure.
Just imagine if men and women had among their groups any number of different types of sex organs. Further only those with matching types could fit together, leaving all other pairings in need of add-ons.
If I was serious headphone listener, I would have a seriously hard time ignoring the new McIntosh MHA200 2-Channel Vacuum Tube Headphone Amplifier.
Ingredients: Raspberry Pi 4 2GB ($35), Flirc case ($15.95), power supply ($9.95), microSD card ($6), RoPieee (free). Bake 30 minutes.
The new KEF Mu3 Earphones get their looks from designer Ross Lovegrove who has worked for everyone from Apple to Vitra.
I’ve had the opportunity to play around in the new Roon, v1.8, for the past month or so, and we’ve become ever better friends.
