Happy High-Fidelity Premium Audio New Year!
It's going to be a very good one!
Article
By Roger Skoff
No matter how you
look at it, 2024 was not the best year yet for our hi-fi/high fidelity music/audio
hobby. People who already had a good audio system just kept it,
buying little else. After worldwide inflation, people without systems and of
ordinary means were sufficiently concerned about keeping food on the table,
shoes on their feet, and gas in their car, that they put off any purchases they
didn't think absolutely necessary – including new, even otherwise
affordable, high-performance audio gear; and, even though the rich –
including, apparently, a surprising number of billionaires – bought
ultra-expensive, Ultra High-End Audio gear (including
multi-hundred-thousand-dollar electronics and near-million-dollar speaker
systems) in surprising quantity, it wasn't enough to keep our industry
prosperous.

PureAudioProject Duet 15 Loudspeaker Review
A benchmark performance open baffle loudspeaker.
Review By Dr. Jules Coleman
Featuring the
extraordinary Voxativ Pife full range driver mated to a comparably fast 15"
woofer, the PureAudioProject (PAP) Duet 15 offers the listener an unrivaled,
relaxed, unhurried, yet fully resolved natural and immediate musical experience
that box speakers, for the most part, can only dream of providing, and one that
competitor open baffle designs will struggle, most likely with only limited
success, to equal. These speakers are unassuming, seductive, and enthralling. I
found myself unable to resist falling into the music's awaiting arms for the
better part of the several months I was fortunate enough to have them in my
home. The term 'open baffle' is vague. The standard design consists of a single baffle (think of the 'front baffle' of an enclosed speaker) on which one or more drivers are affixed. All open baffle speakers produced by PureAudioProject are of this sort.

World Premiere Review!
FiiO S15 Music Streamer, Hi-Res DAC, And Bluetooth Receiver Review
The FiiO S15's ease of use and impressive features is matched by its' excellent sound quality.
Review By Tom Lyle
I am a proponent of FiiO's portable digital audio players (DAPs). Since I'm an
audiophile practically obsessed with music but cannot sit in front of my main
audio system to listen to music 24/7, using a DAP is not an option but a must.
I've auditioned many DAPs in the past, and since the spring of 2024, I've been
using FiiO's top-of-the-line M17 "Portable Desktop-Class Music
Player" daily. It has the best sound quality of any sub-$2000 DAP I've ever
heard. When I was offered the opportunity to review
FiiO's new S15 Music Streamer / Hi-Res DAC / Bluetooth Receiver, I immediately said
"yes." After FiiO began marketing their all-in-one desktop
system, the approximately 6" square R7, in early 2023, they decided to
continue developing this type of product and now offer audiophiles and music
lovers the subject of this review: their component-sized S15, a streamer that
can also be used as a preamp, a DAC, and a Bluetooth receiver.
