DARKO: Fujiya Avic's 2014 Spring Headphone Festival (part 1)
DAR has inked the first stanza of what is guaranteed to be a well-sung rime on Fujiya Avic's 2014 Spring Headphone Festival.
Headfonia: Shure SE846 review
The Shure SE846 is one of the earphone that has made me re-examine my wallet. It is impeccably engineered, has a great filter system, glows beautifully under the soft box-- oh yes, and it sounds great, too. I'm very glad that my first impressions of this great earphone were not my last. Here's a little of what I have to say about the SE846 at Headfonia.
“The SE846 really kicks out low detail and nothing but. It is incredible. While sound pressure below 50Hz is nominal at the ear, above that it yawns with power. Like its high range, bass detail is spacious and detailed. Versus the JHA Roxanne, it is slightly more silver-edged- if harder, if you will. Overall sound pressure is similar, but top-edged details stand further out. This detail will appeal to dance fans, to fans of live music, and to fans speed.”

Dita Audio's Fujiya Avic 2014 Spring Headphone Festival surprise
In roughly 44 hours, Fujiya Avic's Spring Headphone show will kick off. In the midst of it, Dita Audio will inherit a bit more awesomeness. That awesomeness will show itself in two super secret items:
1. The Answer (Truth Edition) in gold for Fujiya Avic
- it is limited to 18 sets
- It rings in at 99.999¥ apiece
2. a 3,5mm to 3,5mm interconnect that connects your favourite to your favourite amp. Rest assured that this cable employs all the Van Den Hul goodness you've come to love in your Truth Edition earphones.
- you will be able to test it at Dita Audio's booth
- in light of the headphone festival, Dita Audio will be giving away a very limited number of its interconnects!
- giveaway interconnects will come in waterproof carrying cases
NOTE: Gold Truth Editions are special editions sold only at Fujiya Avic. Gold editions will be available for display at Dita Audio's Fujiya booth (if you are lucky enough to be in Tokyo at the time).
Reference: I reviewed both Dita Audio earphones at Headfonia earlier this year. I am a firm fan of their sound and am totally stoked to see/hear what they have on display this time around.
EDIT: certain number was changed to very limited in regard to Dita's interconnects
Glove Audio's DAC amp/case for the Astell&Kern AK100
Looks pretty interesting. More info to come at www.gloveaudio.com.
This link and graphic provided by the prodigious thumb, Sasaki.
UPDATE: earlier versions of this article said that the Glove Audio's DAC amp/case was built for the Astell&Kern AK240. It is not. It is built for the first AK100 and AK120. My sincerest apologies. You will notice that the link is still the same.
Audio360: early impressions of the Woo Audio WA7tp
Audio360's round table discussion of the WA7tp tube power supply companion to the WA7 headphone amplifier is encouraging to say the least. Specifically, it is worth highlighting Kevin Venable's impressions:
“Ah cool... I find lapsteel to be a hard instrument to listen too on a lot of gear. It sounds too harsh, a bottleneck slide playing like in blues as well. It is quite enjoyable with the WA7tp. My prefered rig for this kind of music has always been my vinyl rig, but this is getting closer.”

Headfi: Currawong reviews Dita The Answer
As per usual, it is informative and doesn't require you to keep your finger on the mouse trigger. Head on over to my HFN review of the same earphones for another view. These are great earphones that truly highlight the benefits of a single dynamic driver over complicated balanced armature setups.
Head to Dita Audio for more information.
