Headfonia

Top notch photography and an enjoyable reading expierence make Headfonia.com my #1 website for high end audio reviews. If you ever need advice, Mike's website is the way.

Head-Fi

Probably the most well known audio site ever, Head-Fi.org offers the biggest community of audio enthusiasts and can become quite an addiction for some.

Inner Fidelity

Another one of my favorite sites to visit daily is InnerFidelity.com. Tyll does a uniqe job of measuring headphones and posts regularly, a very fun hobby.

Just for anyone that may be wondering, we are on Head-Fi, and you can find our profile below and communicate with us on there as you so please. We also, due to requests, post our reviews on the forums of Head-Fi as well. People (and companies as well) seem to appreciate double reviews, and we hope my readers do as well. If you have time, feel free to check out the Audio Excursions YouTube channel as well. We post HD 1080P slideshows, first looks, and video reviews of anything that's related to the art of audio. You can see the links to both our YouTube channel and my Head-Fi profile below. Also, you can find some of the audio reviews that we have coming up over the next few weeks and the next few months.

Astell & Kern AK100: The Apex Audio Player?

26/01/2013 20:37 Filed in: Digital Audio Players

Here it is, the Astell & Kern AK100, the audio player that nearly everyone (actually, everyone) has been talking about for the last month. Supposedly the next revolutionary game changer, the Astell & Kern features nearly 40GB of storage (and you can add up to 64GB more for a total of 96GB), a beautiful design with a touch screen display, support for up to 24/192 kHz processing, and almost every single lossless codec available. But, how does it sound? Read More...

Wyred 4 Sound µDAC: The Best Sub $500 DAC?

11/12/2012 17:49 Filed in: DAC's

Wyred 4 Sound is a very well known audio brand in the audio industry (and quite popular around websites likes Head-Fi and many other forums), and are mainly known for producing some of the best DAC’s known that are used in high end desktop rigs, DAC’s like the Wyred 4 Sound DAC-1 and even more well known, the DAC-2. While Wyred 4 Sound has a focus on high end audio gear, their newer DAC, the µDAC tends to focus more on the lower end of the competition (not necessarily entry-fi, but also not high end in a way). Anyway, I have a ton to talk about in this review, as the µDAC packs a lot of punch for such a small form factor. So, without any further ado, let’s continue on with the details. Read More...

Shonyun 301 Pro: Inexpensive & Good Sounding

21/11/2012 17:24 Filed in: Desktop Headphone Amps

While I’ve reviewed a plethora of full size, high-end desktop amplifiers, I’ve only reviewed a select few full size, entry-fi level desktop amplifiers, and none of them have ever reached the size of being transportable, and made to fit with both a desktop rig and a portable rig. Introducing the Shonyun 301 Pro, a desktop amplifier that’s not a desktop amplifier, so to speak. While that may sound confusing, you’ll understand why here in a moment, as the 301 Pro is one of the best sounding, coolest looking, and uniquely designed headphone amplifiers that I have ever had the pleasure of reviewing here at Audio Excursions.

Halide Design Devilsound and DAC HD DAC Cables

03/08/2012 17:13 Filed in: DAC's

Halide Design is somewhat of a revolutionary company when it comes to simplicity and audio design. There have been a number of new designs when it comes to amps and different types of DAC’s, but they all share the same basic design. They are all machined and housed in a box or enclosure and need external cables to be able to run well. Well, Halide Design’s DAC’s are totally different. They’re simple cables, with very tiny, high quality DAC’s that have all the basic features of a regular DAC, but in a much smaller, and much easier to use design. Read More...

BTG Audio Appalachian Sennheiser HD650 Cable: Pure Copper

30/07/2012 22:32 Filed in: Headphone Cables

I've probably reviewed over half a dozen cables in the last month or so here on Audio Excursions, and while I've had a blast doing these reviews, they become a bit tiresome, and I've decided that this week was going to be the last week for reviews. With that being said however, I wasn't going to let this last week of hopefully stellar cable reviews be a mediocre review set, and thankfully, Brian over at BTG-Audio hooked me up with an affordable, and very well designed HD650 cable that not only sounds excellent, but looks the part too. The "Appalachian" headphone cable is made of pure copper, and comes in a variety of different options, as Brian's cables are all completely customizable. Read More...
