I am recording videos with the highest quality sound of audiophile gear. My reviews are all about listening to the change and very little talking. You can read about how many inputs or colors are in any particular amp everywhere, but not everybody has a chance to listen and compare plenty of audiophile stuff.
I am one of the owners and designers in both Qualio - www.qualioaudio.com, where we do the best multiway loudspeakers and Cube Audio - www.cubeaudio.eu, where we do top-in-the-world full-range drivers and loudspeakers based on those drivers.
For the recordings, I use pro mobile gear - SoundDevices MixPre 3 and a stereo set of Shoeps CMC6MK4
I have plenty of unique experiences, and I'm here to share them with you. :)

Hey Greg! I love you A/B test. Switching quickly between devices is the better way for me to hear the comparisons, I try to stay with the same tones and notes to hear the differences... Perhaps I just can't hear what you hear in your room, but you and me are often out of sink on the choices you audition; I don't have headphones that's got to be a big factor.... I DO love your music selection. You provide a balanced cross-genre array of songs; I have watched many of your videos several time to just hear the songs you play; my system is down now so I'm using you lol. As for this video, I was wanting the EverSolo to prevail being that it's pretty and cost a bunch more, but I think you and me may finally have concurred on this test. I actually couldn't hear the difference between the Ever. and the Fosi's I have two of the Fosi's going into my new setup.... amongst the great sound they produce for the price, I am taking advantage of their ability to dip into 2 Ohms. I have a hybrid DIY speaker set that's dipping to 3.4 Ohms, so I need the extra insurance. KZreadr: Williston Audio Labs tested the Fosi's @ 2 Ohms and they held strong without a flinch. Hey, I'm still hoping for some dimension and build info on you little test 4" speakers, I'm want to play around with those 4" full-range units you tested a while back, I need a decent functional box like you used... I grabbed the Visaton B100's. Also, would you list out the artist on you music if you can, I'd like to grab them off the internet or marketplace? Thanks Greg!
This video did not mention where to get one. I am pretty sure I saw one at my local Home Depot store (who knew HD sells high-end audiophile cables?) I think I saw it in the same aisle as washers and dryers. Weird, innit?
For me MarkAudio Plivia 7 was no.1. That ws grat comparison, good job!
데나프립스가 더 좋게 들린다
My presumption is that the Epos seem less forgiving when it comes to polishing the sound from compressed audio sources-- without seeing measurements I expect that they would be the most tonally accurate and transparent of the three. I'd love to hear the ES14N's in person where I can play some tracks that I am more familiar with. Great comparison video!
Усилитель не стоит вашего внимания. Это самая дешевая реализация чипа с огромным уровнем искажений.
Thanks very much for your video, i am using the balanced imput on my V3 mono, we're should i be installing my new opamps, thanks very much.?
Think I found the answer, thanks again.
I wish you could suggest a full featured amp that sounds better than the Fosi and doesn't cost a fortune. Even the IPA80 is expensive by most people's standards.
All the amplifiers by Engineer Enrico Rossi are spectacular, none excluded but if I have to express a slight preference ... IPA140
I use 2x Aiyima A07max and my Accuphase Amp can relax now...
When you have the demo sound from the new WIIM ULTRA STREAMER?
1. Epos - detailed and warm, full-bodied 2. Mofi - more neutral, a little on the forward side 3. Spendor - it just sounded dull to me
Great comparison! For me: 1st - EPOS - most dynamic, very transparent and neutral, best soundstage 2nd - Spendor - nice vintage style, bit slow and boomy, but some character 3rd - MoFi - not bad, but never really my taste
Did you tried Holo Audio Cyan 2? How it compares to these?
Spendor - bad
Mam Fosi V3 Mono i strasznie sie grzeją,do 60 stopni na obudowie. Czy u Ciebie jest tak samo?

Przy Qualio coś jest nie tak albo są źle podłączone albo uszkodzone bo jeden kanał nie gra dobrze.
Great videos, thank you! Please test the Aiyima A70 and let us know how it stacks up against the A07 MAX and the Fosi ZA3.
How do these compare with EPOS es14n and the Qualio Quantum? Can we please have a demo and a discussion comparing these three.
Usually on the comparisons I can't tell a diffrence, but on J holy smokes it sounded the best all around
I think Venus II is better than either of them...
great sound on the stacked opamps...I also stack opamps on my guitar overdrive pedals. With some pedals it sounds superb
Ares not Aries
The Spendors have a more balanced sound, easier to listen to.
I also prefer the Weiss on stringed instruments, based on what I hear listening on this video.
The Weiss has better voice playback. Slightly clearer and more present. IMO, if you want to exceed the Weiss 204, you should try the Holo May DAC. The analog interconnects are a factor also. Unfortunately, an interconnect cable that sounds best on one DAC may not be the best for the other DAC.
Thanks
How did you parallel the NE5532?? Using dual single to dip8 adapter or patiently soldering with an Iron and lead? I'm tempted to do it since I have the chips ...but I doubt soldering is doable for me...shaking the hell out on the iron...Also, I'd be curious to see the results with some Akliam LC5 (18$)
I'm just listening on my not very good laptop speakers and honestly? They sound very different to me. I much prefer the Spring - the Weiss has far too much "air" in an unnatural way. It also sounds like it could get a bit shrill/fatiguing. I *really* like the Spring, though, which is encouraging as I am close to pulling the trigger on a cyan 2
Could i ask what Preamplifier you used with the V3 Monos?
NE5532 widely used opamp in recording studios, and for good reason.
Mofi sounds brighter than the Epos and both sound more forward than the Spendor.
Als Laie muss ich feststellen, dass zu Beginn Tannoy besser klang, offener ... aber Qualio IQ setzte sich zuletzt durch und ich fand diese LSP angenehmer. Beide haben schon eine bemerkenswerte Offenheit und Räumlichkeit, klingen sauber und aufgeräumt. Da ich mir selbst ein paar OpenBuffel Lautsprecher baute, allerdings mit einem Breitbänder, bin ich doch von dieser Lautsprecher Art verwöhnt, weil ich von beiden Seiten höre, die klingen auch noch in anderen Räumen gut, klar und offen, meine Frau ist immer davon angetan; öh, von der Musik, die ich mit diesen Lautsprechern spiele.
Great review!!!!! Your detailed descriptions are always fantastic! Earned a sub!!!!
Great review! As usual, your reviews are great! Question for you. If I want to use only one ZA3 or V3, via RCA cables (no XLR), how many op amps do I need? Only one or a pair? Thank you!
the wiim sounds the thinnest
Good video thanks
Amp A
The Aiyima A07max is better and if take two in double mono 2x 300W with the new powered 48V10A is they are the 10.000$$ AMP killers on every speakers.. 😊 Promised 🎉😮
Hmm looks like I preferred the T+A 200. I have the holo may kte. Interesting. The TA 200 mids weren't forceful or fatiguing, neither was the Holo , but it was slightly more grating than the TA200. I should really look into the TA-200.
I preferred DAC A, it's mids were not as fatiguing as DAC B's. DAC B caused me to wince on certain songs.
I preferred DAC A, for sure. I'm using the Susvara to listen. DAC B made me wince sometimes, like it was more fatiguing with the upper mids. DAC B's mids was just pushed more forward, while DAC A is more laid back, not as forceful, and easier to listen to.
Did you put the May in NOS mode?
Wokal najlepszy na spendorach. Rock, metal na eposach A jazz zdecydowanie na mofi.
Excellent, thorough review! Thank you!
Comparing a $7,600 DAC vs a $2,700 DAC?
Why does he keep on mentioning ducks. 😂
I prefer the 211 first, close after the 2a3. 211 seem to express more lively, magic of the musical event reproduction. ps. I got those brand and in order, GE (jaw drop), RCA (very close), Shuguan electron (more edgy, harch). My SE amp is a Antique sound Lab AQ1006/ 211 (1997). Merci pour la video.
So, is it worth getting 2 power supplies, 1 for each amp?
