Review: Kingrex UD384 USB DAC (32bit/384Khz) & UPower
|

Do we really need 32bits/384kHz capability in a DAC? That is the first question I asked myself when Christine from Kingrex asked me if I were interested in reviewing their newly released UD384 usb dac. It is until recently that 24/96 and 24/192 have become more common but there is still a long way to catch up with the choice of material released in the 16/44 RBCD forma...

When I started writing about USB to SPDIF converters around two years ago, I faced a lot of skepticism over at head-fi. Some of the usual complaints were rather similar to the following: How is it possible that two bit perfect transports can sound any different from one another? How is it possible that gigabytes of data can be transported over USB cables in hard drives without th...

Throughout the past three years I have experimented with different coupling and decoupling feet and platforms. While most of them did change the sound of my system, very few did it withou...
