DAC ADL X1
Build quality is high - it is easily the most fashionable little DAC here - and is accessible with blue, red or silver anodised aluminium panels together with the black version pictured. An assortment of adaptors and leads are provided the X1 for your mobile device or connect to a computer's USB port....

DAC Denon DA-300USB
Of a prize was given by us for the finest-appearing DAC in this round upward, then the Denon will function as the clear victor. Not only is it nicely constructed and attractively styled, but it's the added flexibility of allowing itself to be placed vertically or horizontally, including a good amount...

Floor standing speakers PSB Speakers Imagine T
Most significantly, however, the review pair are coated in high-gloss white lacquer finish, which will be bang on trend and now my most favored finish for loudspeakers, notably floorstanders. This really is the second of the PSB Imagine range - it's another model down in the flagship T2 - and has been...

Network player Pro-Ject Stream Box RS
A few of the most notable new arrivals have already been the RS series. These main members of the 'Box' variety of electronic equipment have not proved unimpressive with some innovative attributes. The newest offering in the RS variety pitches into a region that is rather less of a Pro-Ject comfort...

Bookshelf speakers Cambridge Audio Aero 2
On budget boxes' bread and butter world, points of difference are not large, yet - by advertising requirement - frequently overstated. In engineering terms similar, although individual models may be stylistically varied. Stages of divergence are extremely down to fine elements, manners of finessing what's...

Amplifier NAD C356BEE
Possibly more than some other brand in this evaluation, NAD is focused on affordable integrated amplifiers that deliver top-notch performance for practical outlay, dating all the way back to the 3020. The company has n't forgotten its roots and the C356BEE DAC is lots of amp for the cash while it has...

Amplifier TEAC AI-1000
Teac has re-entered the two-channel market at this price point after some time away as well as the AI-1000 is the smallest of three incorporated stereo amps in a new range with fitting SACD players. Little is a relative term and other than the Pioneer that is burly, this is the largest amp here. It is...

Amplifier Rotel RA-12
Rotel has been a long standing adversary but historically its amps were never the most feature-laden versions going. But no more, as the RA-12 is possessed of a rational few bells and whistles. At the same time as four line-level input signals, it has four digital inputs (although not one of these is...

Amplifier Pioneer A-70
That is the flagship of Pioneer's current stereo output signal and is the greatest and most significant amplifier here. Not content having the most metalwork, the A-70 also has the most complete spec. The sole feature not available is a set - this is not too astonishing, although as none of the Pioneer...

Amplifier Creek Evolution 50A
Creek continues to be a strong competition in this cost section for years as well as the Evolution 50A is its latest offering to challenge the group. For this end, the 50A makes usage of Creek's brand string of low impedance output signal capacitors to act as one component and a promised 200W transformer....

Amplifier Arcam A19
The A19 is also among the more affordable amps in the evaluation and is the lowest amplifier. Regardless of this, you get a good sum for the £650. This layout comes with a MM phono stage as well as five analogue input signals. Interestingly, for people with no turntable and six input sources, the...

CD-player Marantz UD7006
The term 'worldwide', as applied in home electronics to pretty much anything, is usually only valid for some minutes nowadays. No earlier is a 'worldwide' player specification or system on the marketplace is established which is beyond its ken. Having said that, we can not really think of anything...

CD-player Marantz UD8004
The concept of universal cd players is old. They have existed in the kind of domestic cd players, in addition to computer drives to get quite a while, but the players usually are not quite that which you may anticipate in the description on the tin. The players, for instance, have limited themselves...

CD-player Marantz SA8003
Marantz used to append the initials of the great guy to versions 'breathed on' by Ken Ishiwata, but there is nothing in the nomenclature. Actually, this can be essentially a souped-up SA7003, sharing a spec that is simple, but adding touches such as the copper-plated toroidal mains transformer chassis...

CD-player Yamaha CD-S1000
As hefty, large and visiting CD players go, it is just one of the most important, heaviest and many visiting, at least. We especially enjoy the ultra-thin CD tray (which closes nearly noiselessly and opens) the and oh-so-retro mains switch. The insides are astonishingly nicely filled, also. In the...

Network CD-player Yamaha NP-S2000
By some margin the most 'hair shirt' of the streamers in this group, the NP-S2000 still seems a lot more like a little high end audiophilia than the others. It is really heavy and vast, and we were impressed to find, after removing 42 screws to get off the lid, that it is actually fairly packed with...

CD-player Arcam CD37
This one is unusually low key as SACD players go. There's an SACD emblem on the front, but top right definitely says as well as it is not instantly apparent 'Compact Disc Player'. Yet it can manage the cds that are hires, in native style which manages DSD (the SACD 'bitstream' format) thanks to a DAC. However,...

DAC Arcam rDac
More than 20 years past Arcam made the Rear Carton standalone digital-to- analogue convertor. As a result, the Black Box sold nicely and was highly regarded. Throughout the late 1990s, an alteration in doctrine as well as research found the DAC fall from favour and the output signal only at that time...

Music system Arcam Solo Neo
The Arcam Solo found the light of day around six years past when audiophiles had CD. That's likely still the situation for many but there's growing demand for machinery that could manage on the internet or streamed music, whether it is sourced in the user's home network. Naturally, being an associate...

Music system Arcam Solo Mini
The all in one system wasn't invented by Arcam, but it gave lots of street cred to the strain with the first Solo (that is still accessible) and this, the half-width variant. CD's there, obviously, a slot-loading mechanism that is trouble-free and quiet in operation. Radio can also be constructed...
