SILENT ANGEL MUNICH M1 & FORESTER F1 - REVIEW
The Silent Angel Munich M1 and Forester F1, the“Tiny Tots,” while quite small represent an ideal entry-level streamer, linear power supply duo. The value to cost ratio is very good at a combined price for the Tots at $2,049. The Munich M1 will easily compete with your computer but it will need the Forester F1 LPS to bring things to equal with the Roon Nucleus Plus. … In short, the Silent Angel Munich M1 and Forester F1s provide a great deal of music and technical/high fidelity skills for relatively little cost.
SILENT ANGEL RHEIN Z1 & FORESTER F2 - REVIEW
Wow! These grooved, little, metal, black boxes carry a wallop of high-fidelity goodness and compelling musicality that clearly sets them far above their combined price. And I must admit, having reviewed, auditioned, and owned some very high value/cost streamers, I am very impressed by the Silent Angel Rhein Z1 and the Forester F2 combo.
PS AUDIO SACD TRANSPORT/ DAC COMBO - REVIEW
Seriously, if you have a mountain of CDs like a number of my friends and consider yourself a connoisseur of media—CDs, SACDs, downloads—the PerfectWave SACD transport and the PS Audio DirectStream DAC represent a one-stop powerhouse that will keep you seated in the listening chair for countless happy hours with its transparency, its detail and richness, its startle factor, and its engaging musicality.
BRICASTI DESIGN M1SE - REVIEW
The Bricasti Design M1SE has proven itself even beyond what the research had led me to believe. Perhaps it was the synergy conjured up by so many exceptional reference components at the time of its review. And, no doubt, the M1SE’s prodigious ability as a high fidelity DAC with a host of options—15(!)—so as to be tailored for most, if not all listening preferences, is but another star for its abilities.
GRIMM AUDIO MU1 - REVIEW
The Grimm Audio MU1 streamer is easily at the forefront of technological progress and stands as testament to the fact that high-fidelity musical reproduction is light years ahead of where it was just a few short years ago, let alone the days of my youth. But that is only half of the picture!
THE MOLA MOLA KULA INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER - REVIEW
The Mola Mola Kula integrated amplifier is, to our ears, a state of the art in one box amplification solution. The rich midrange, the perfectly articulated and controlled bass, along with the amp’s overall grip on the music and speakers, makes it one of the great integrated amps of our time, and we have heard a few.
Sonnet Audio Morpheus DAC with Hermes Digital Bridge - Review
The Sonnet digital duo, the Morpheus DAC and the Hermes streamer are what I would call the perfect products for those seeking accurate, natural, and musically pleasing sound.
