The @sony PHA-1 Amp/DAC STILL holds its own - and, IMHO, I think Sony should've stuck with the rail system - as opposed to just going back to the same old rubber bands!! The combination of the PHA-1 & Meze 12Classics Universal IEMs was so damn good Im listening to the SAME RIG as I type this!! But that's my OCD so pardon me. This pairing was INSANE when you consider the cost - it was sensational, @mezeaudio has their hands on something thats GOLD NO matter: A product, or products more accurately that all far outperform their selling costs

THIS is how we do here at Sonic Satori / OccupyHifi.org we needed a night w/ tunes On-The-Road. so I LACED-it-UP w/ my:

E-MU systems closed-back over-ear dynamics Noble Audio SAVANT CIEMS @mezeaudio 11Neo is NEXT-LEVEL: The minimal universal in-ear-monitors sound better the more music I feed em!

Thus sounding smoother, silkier, and with greater definition as they break-in. And even my friend Tyll Hertsens over at Inner Fidelity (he’s Mr. Objective comparatively) has proven that earphones/headphones do, in-fact break-in over time just like loudspeakers! 

 LUV THESE - 60 BUCKS? A STEAL 🎧

I can't believe that as I sit here typing this article I'm listening to music and reacting emotionally while it streams wirelessly to my office system from my Macbook. If you told me back in 1996 that I would consider my laptop a high fidelity music source, I would have accused you of being high. But here I am. Thanks to a five hundred dollar piece: the Audioengine D2 24-bit wireless DAC, I can stream all audio from my laptop to my beloved office system (please see associated equipment on the side bar) and I don't feel like I'm missing anything. The rate at which the sonic landscape is changing around us is staggering. The progression of personal/desktop and portable music delivery is perhaps the most exciting segment of the audio industry at the moment in terms of innovation (analog playback is evolving as well, no doubt). I remember addressing a crowd, at the request of Harry Pearson, at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in 2009 regarding iPods and the proliferation of high end computer audio. I just wrote the second installment of my What is the Future of the High End series for PFO (check it outHERE) and Harry honored me by asking me to speak as the result of that article....
