Important message! The way you speak, the way you give this assessment, is exceptional. I don't regularly, but sometimes I check the audio reviews on UA-cam. Most youtubers overplay their role. They use exaggerated accents, often exaggerated body language, thinking that this is what today's internet world wants. Your performance is free of this. Please, whatever anyone says, keep this style because it is refreshing among today's youtubers.
The hype can be off putting, but the WiM ultra is indeed an amazing little device. I picked up a Black Friday deal, and have been so impressed with this streamer.
I thought I remembered distinctly how the Electrocompaniet DAC/Streamer replaced the HiFi Rose 150B due to its superior sound as a combo. Down the memory hole?
Watching your recent review of the Electroconpaniet ECM 1 dac streamer you preferred it by a bit over the combination HIFI Rose 130 with Laiv Harmony dac , Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary and the Weiss 501 dac I think you used with the HiFi Rose 130 . Anyway that is high praise for the Electroconpaniet server dac ,…
A few corrections; the WiiM Amp PRO @ $379.00 is widely reported to be a significant improvement over the WiiM Amp covered here. The Pearl Sibelius does NOT employ a coaxial driver. Rather it employs an exceptional full range driver from Mark Audio. The Sibelius is a design that fully optimizes that driver's potential. At $5k+, the Sibelius is quite a jump upwards in cost from the ELAC @ $450.00. Nothing in the USD $2500. range qualifies?
How do you feel about premaluna? I just picked up a used but super clean premaluna dialogue premier. Not hp. But haven’t had it delivered yet. I will be feeding a pair of klipsch lascala. Your opinion is definitely something I value. Thanks
Ref. Triangle Duetta Magellan - Duetto 40. For THAT price and then only a 2-way speaker with a 6.5" bass-midrange driver??? In my opinion, there's much better in this price region. Namely grown-up 3-way concepts with real low bass and level stability. The beautiful appearance is of no use if it is still a loudspeaker with limitations. When i Start mentioning activ studio monitors in this price region, where such a Triangle probably looks extremely old... if it's really only about the MUSIC and not necessarily about the look, then you should look somewhere else for 7000 dollars ... i think most Highend Lovers don't know what they can get for THAT price in the professionell Segment of Loudspeakers..😉😉😉 Wenn i mention such as Genelec, Neumann, ADAM, ATC or Geithain in this context , anyone who knows these manufactures will surely know what i am trying to say.... but even in the passive Hifi sector: when i think of what KEF has to offer in this price segment alone

YES!
You keep saying the Sibelius is a coaxial speaker, but it is a single driver, not a coaxial. Great stuff.
Your reviews are "easy to listen to"...very enjoyable !
Love your work: honesty, calming nature, informative, structural, keep truckin!
The products/companies that pay/contribute the most are top, yes nice work.
@@mediascapes2011I’ll bite. What’s your list? Genuinely curious
Great selection & really appreciate the value tier being included.
Great work Sir. It's always a pleasure see your videos and learn from you. Happy Holidays!!!!

Wiim ultra gets my vote.
And got it 70 cheaper in black friday sale.
Been listening every day,..its amazing...great dac ..why spend more.
Same experience here .I wonder what would happen if you had a sound comparison (blindfold test) .THAT would be interesting !
Thanks for sharing this. Appreciated.
Thank you for the round up. I greatly appreciate it!
Any thoughts on pairing the Eversolo A10 with the Buchardt A10s? Thanks

Greetings from Europe from Poland. Thanks for such a valuable review.
I’m just a bit shocked that Qualio IQ Ultra doesn’t make the list.
How would you Rank the Radiant Acoustic 6.2 in your List of small (Bookshelf) Speakers?
Very nice!
4:14 So Elac Debut is in the same league Ascend Acoustics Sierra LX soundwise?
Yourself - It is written together , it is one word.
I'd love to hear you do a review on PS Audio FR5 speakers compared to Borresen X1.

MACO Macarias Granite Open-Baffle Speakers got best of 2024 Award from Enjoy The Music, maybe they are the Real Deal 🤫
I’ve heard both and prefer the PAP by far personally. However, you should listen to both and make a decision on what works best for you
What's your opinion on Canada's
Amplifier and speakers
Thank you

Mistletoe is a nice touch!
great list
Can I get your advice?
Is the phono stage on the Wiim Ultra better than the Phono stage on a Marantz 2245 Integrated Amp?
No separates? Amps and preamps?
More boxes, more better ?
very interesting , thanks !!!
How didn’t the Closer Acoustics OGY not make your list?
Check out the LTA Aero DAC if you’re able.
"Like" first before watching. Thanks!
Hi please test new Accuphase product e700
Thanks
Luxman NT-07 streamer ?
Wow!!!
I'm the first one here. 😊
You must listen to nuprime dac 9x
Thanks
Try an audio note dac ,...level 5 or 6 !!!!!
To much $$ and will be old tech in a few years
Open Baffle… they seem to catch the ear of many reviewers.
Thanks for mentioning Verum 2 among best products of 2024. Can't reach you via email:(
word between our audiophile friends is that your owner has been on racist tirades in the past...whats up with that?
Unfortunately
The topping dac cant compare with a 2020 merason ..it cant
T + A DAC ???????
Lol they probably slapped a $35 raspberry pi in that Nagra streamer and charged you $5000 for it.
“Budget” DAC is $1,000 .

Wow!!! !!! im the four one here. What's the big deal.?
NONE classD apart from Wiim, quite a contrast to all the glorifying reviews of various classD amps you made during the year🤐
The companies that pay the most for being rated best.
Owner of Verum is a known racist, google his online tirades. Not sure why you give him press.
Totally. eF Verum.
Everyone is racist, move on
Oh wow
Cancel culture 🤮
@@ga1872cs the only thing worse than cancel culture is what this guy said to many of his customers
