If you also hear what you see, the external analog amplifier has a nasty background hum, the headphones are much too quiet, and the sound comes across much too flat and powerless in other ways as well, then something is obviously rotten with the system. But where is the best place to start and, above all, what are the causes? I have already [...]

I admit that the test today was mainly due to my curiosity to see how the new measuring station performs in practice. Furthermore, the 99 euro ComfoBuds Mini from 1MORE are not pure in-ears (which I don’t like at all), but rather loose-fitting buds where you don’t have to fuss too much with adjusting all the silicone plugs. 1MORE [...]

You can find the Realtek ALC4080/4082, which was already launched in 2020, as a sound solution on many new Intel boards of the middle and upper class and due to a certain feature, which is also due to the saving of Intel SKUs, you get new problems at the same time. The problems with the SPDIF (optical output), which have already been fixed by a [...]
One thing we want to do right away: It's not about a self-taught 2.1 system, in which two small howler cubes are to be combined with a thick, big brother. Our intention is to make the subwoofer so discreet and profitable... Interior and loudspeaker chassis If you remove the complete active unit, you can take a first look at the body. The glued [...]
With or without a subwoofer, caught up in nuances and the desire to cut the most tonally clean video possible. And no, I chose the headline with the question of whether the Nubert nuPro X-3000 RC or the nuPro X-4000 RC would do the trick, again anything but by chance, because actually, as with the first test, I wanted a treat for both: precise [...]
What happens when Schubert’s trout goes down the Oehlbach acoustically grandiose and takes the invested 20 Euros right along with it? That’s exactly what I thought when I spontaneously ordered an Oehlbach PureClock to solve my nasty chirp problem and wasn’t really sure whether such a passive stick was pure snake oil or a passable [...]
I’ll write out the product name once (almost) in full: S.M.S.L Sanskrit 10 MKII AK4493 HiFi 768KHz 32Bit XMOS USB Native DSD256 Decoder, then for simplicity’s sake I’ll just call the thing Sanskrit 10th MKII. The name with the 10-year anniversary has allowed itself the manufacturer to exactly this anniversary. I was intrigued by [...]
The fact that the small mobile DACs and headphone amplifiers cannot keep up with stationary devices should be well known due to their size and the associated technical limitations. But since I own some Beyerdynamic headphones myself as well as the A20 as a headphone amplifier, I was quite curious about the comparison. After all, they also [...]
The Sound BlasterX G6 looks like a G5, at least at first glance and as long as you don't look at the price tag. The 149 euros on the Creative homepage are a whopping 30 euros above the current street price of the predecessor. Of course, the legitimate question arises as to whether the whole thing is really worth the extra charge. With its USB [...]
Wavemaster has been offering a small pair of 2.0 stereo loudspeakers for some time now, which were deliberately placed below the Cube Mini Neo. And since I don't only test high-end, but also like to browse the budget area for bargains for my readers, the almost 70 Euros are actually not a hurdle. And if I have to be honest, I had a real déjà [...]
After various disposable products I am now testing 2-way in-ears with ANC in the form of the 1More True Wireless ANC. Personally, I always have a hard time with such reviews, but curiosity had finally won here, too. To have a good price by chance and to always have a customer waiting in the family also means spontaneous shopping, unpacking and [...]
One finds the Realtek ALC1200 very often on beginner and mid-range motherboards, and if you google once or interpret the swarm intelligence of the relevant forums, there is also a frightening amount of half and ignorance in circulation. Some write from a highly labeled ALC887, others from a slightly slimmed down ALC1220. And the only right thing [...]
The hype around the EarFun Air was already quite big, probably also because of cleverly launched reviews and press releases. A pair of buds for the narrow thaler with a rich sound and other good qualities? the reality: sold out and waiting for supplies. That makes you curious and a bit sceptical at the same time. All the more astonished I was [...]
I didn’t choose the title entirely by chance, because I actually wanted a treat for both: working in a video studio with precise sound and the appropriate sound system after work as a reward and relaxation for stressful hours. This may sound simple at first, but it is not. Analytical reproduction during mixing and cutting does not [...]
