Mini Music Powerhouse $995.00 fiio.com/k17 Nestled in between my mighty Klipschorns, with ROON playing “Paranormial” by The Art of Noise, it amazes a few of my audiophile buddies that the source is the tiny FiiO K17 DAC. And it’s not just a DAC, it’s a full-blown streamer, preamplifier (though I am only using it as […]

These are our picks in the last 14 months or so for our favorite products to go in smaller environments where space is at a premium, and an extra splash of style is a bonus. A few of these products’ full reviews will be posted in the next couple of weeks, but we wanted to […]

Think about cables for a few minutes. Then think about having only a pair of power cords in your system.If you’re in a small space, less is usually more, so this is not a bad thing for you. The Dynaudio Focus 10 speakers only need a pair of power cords. You can link the two […]

You Can’t Unhear em! Wireworld founder David Salz makes some of the world’s finest cables, used by audiophiles and endorsed by recording engineers the world over.

Say, who says we have to hand out awards at the end of the year? We’ve always tried to be a little bit different so here goes. The Audiophile Apartment section of our magazine and site has always tried to concentrate on audio gear with a smaller form factor that doesn’t give anything up in […]

After spending an afternoon with staffer Earle’s Focal Sopra 3s, just before firing up their new Vestia no.1 at my place, the level of sonic excellence they bring to a $1,198 pair of speakers seems amazing. Listening to the same handful of tracks that I shuffled through at Earle’s house, not too much sonic memory […]

Portable music for those on-the-go By Rob Johnson I still remember my first stereo, a 1981 Sony Boom box, which served as a loyal companion from middle school through college. It finally failed after a decade of use. However, my nostalgia for the old-school portable form factor persists. So, I’m thrilled to see Teenage Engineering, […]

Class-D Perfection $8,995 -$9,495 (finish dependent) Javahifi.com Spoiler alert. The Java Integrated is a Class D amplifier. Just in case you’re predisposed to a certain idea of how Class D is supposed to sound, you need to abandon it, or stop reading. To be fair to Java’s Martin Bell, I’ve always been Class D adverse, […]

We here at EnjoyTheMusic.com make no apologies for our high-caliber selectivity. With so many categories and so many products reviewed from October 2025 through September 2026, not every excellent component can or should receive an award or some child's school grade. This does not diminish the merit of other products; it simply reinforces that the […]

I'm sure many audiophiles would like to publicly demonstrate their systems to an admiring (if the system is exotic and expensive) and appreciative (if it sounds good) audience. Devon Turnbull is a lucky audiophile who did it, he got an invitation to participate in an exhibition of modern sculpture artists at the prestigious Lisson Gallery, […]

It may be hard to believe, but iFi Audio have stayed out of the Dongle DAC frenzy over the past two years; their focus has been on the desktop side with the high-powered Diablo ($999) and Gryphon DAC/Headphone Amplifiers. They did introduce the iFi Go Blu DAC / Amplifier which certainly qualifies as a portable device but it is still on the […]

When EnjoyTheMusic.com's Creartive Director, Steven R. Rochlin, suggested I review the Time Corrector, I was taken completely by surprise. We tend to pigeonhole people, even from just a few encounters, and Zoltán was 'just' a supreme loudspeaker guy in my mind. Little did I know at the time that he was a physicist as well […]
