NAD VISO HP 20 Earbuds ($169) 

The NAD VISO HP20 In-Ear Headphones have been designed to bring the warm, open sound of live performances directly to your personal headphone experience.

 

The NAD HP20 is the first in-ear headphone to be engineered with RoomFeel™ technology. Created to translate the warm, open sound of live performance directly into your private headphone experience. 

 

The NAD VISO HP20's ribbon cable features an inline Apple remote, so you can take full control of your music with a simple touch, or talk hands-free with the high-quality microphone built for voice-calling and device control with Siri-compatible devices. Compatible with your device's headphone output, iTunes music and full-featured call functionality is also right at your fingertips; play/pause, skip track, previous track, fast-forward, pause, skip, make and answer calls.

 
Arcam rPAC/DAC Headphone Amp 
($249) 

This amazing little device will improve the sound of music files or internet streaming services fed to your system from your computer. The sophisticated DAC is far better than what is in your computer.  It will drive headphones from the jack on the front.  From internet radio to high quality files, you'll hear more of the music you love. 

 

Simply connect the rPAC to your computer (Windows XP or later or Mac OSX - using the supplied USB cable, then either on to an audio system via a standard RCA lead (also included), or out to headphones. Lovers of the latter are well served by the rPAC, which features a high-quality headphone amp, complete with volume control.

  

It's that simple. No batteries or power connection needed. The USB connection supplies the necessary power directly from your computer.  We even give you a carry case to help you on your way to better audio, anywhere.

 

Sonos Connect ($349)

 

Arcam SonLink DAC for Sonos ($299)
 
The Connect is the most basic Sonos component.  It allows you to use external DACs such as the Arcam SonLink for better performance.  The SonLink can then feed directly to a higher quality amplifier and speakers for better sound than can be achieved with the Connect Amp or one of the Sonos Play units.  The SonLink is designed to allow the Connect to stack directly on top to create a unified, integrated look.

Music Hall Marimba Speakers ($349/pair)

Clean, clear, low distortion design built of fine materials and housed in a stylistically simple package. The marimba was designed to disappear into the background and let the music shine.  These little speakers produce a deep and wide soundstage.  They will have you listening to and enjoying more of your music collection.  Dimensions: 6.6" wide by 11.0" high by 8.7" deep.

 

REL T-Zero ($499)

 

The REL T Zero is the smallest of the 11 REL subwoofers.  Its tiny size (8.5" wide by 9.5" high by 10.25" deep) belies its powerful, musical sound.  No other subwoofer incorporates the sophisticated REL technology for complete sonic integration with a music system or theater system. 

 

The next model, the T-5 at $699 is larger (10.5 by 11.75 by 11.75) and offers deeper bass and even more room filling sound.  

 

Arcam irDAC ($699)                     

 

The Sound Environment offers DACs (digital to analog converters) from $249 to $24,900.  The new irDAC from Arcam is a very good value.  It is one of a whole new series of DACs from Arcam.  This one offers high performance with multiple digital inputs to accommodate about anything. 

  

The sound is refined with a huge variety of music and has a warmth and detail with voices that makes it very easy to listen to for long periods. It provides a sense of excitement and drive to more up-tempo and aggressive music.

  

The irDAC works with your computer, your iPad or iPhone.  It will decode the new high resolution files as well.  The ir remote control allows you to select inputs which can be a real advantage if you have several digital sources.  

 

ELAC Micro Magic 2.1 System ($2,400) 

We were pleasantly surprised with the musical accuracy of this little system.  It is a pleasure to listen to.

 

This is a powered stereo system with small subwoofer and satellites.  It is an excellent choice for any area where space is at a premium. 

 

The system has analog and digital inputs with Bluetooth.  It can be used with a computer, a TV or as a music system in a bedroom, a study or other smaller room.
