iBasso's stunning D2 is both an external USB DAC (read: sound card), and a very capable headphone amplifier. We've been using one for a month and thought it was time we told you how good it was

Woo Audio WA2 headphone amplifier review

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 16:44:01 +0000

To put it simply, the Woo Audio WA2 is the best headphone amplifier in its price category by a mile. It provides an experience that is completely luscious -- deep, smooth bass, rich vocal reproduction, and a sweet, spacious, notably airy treble that's smashing for live classical performances, although can handle anything you throw its way. Superb

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:23:02 +0000

Cowon's new O2 PMP follows on from the smashing Q5W and A3 of last year, but scraps hard disks in favour of flash memory and SD cards. It's one of the most exciting product releases of the year in the PMP category, so we were thrilled to get one of the first ever off the production line

To find out once and for all which offers the better sound quality -- the old 5th gen iPod or new iPod classic -- we took our £2,000 rig of headphone reference hardware, and put both models through a gruelling test

Apple iPod classic (2nd gen) review

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 10:03:02 +0000

Apple's done it again -- its new 120GB iPod classic is a cut above the rest. This edition has more features, such as the Genius playlist tool, and allows you to watch very high-quality video on its 640x480-pixel resolution screen. As with all iPods, you'll have to stick with iTunes, and spring for better headphones, but still, this gadget rocks

We've waited over a year to hear how Denon was going to follow the epically awesome AH-D5000 headphones, and now we can -- we've got the AH-D7000 cans in-house
