Wharfedale Denton 1S
Wharfedale has introduced the Denton 1S, a new compact loudspeaker in its Heritage Series inspired by the original Denton 1 from 1974. Unlike the more traditional wood-veneered Denton models associated with the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Denton 1 was a forward-looking design with a molded white enclosure, rounded edges and an unusual coaxial driver. The new Denton 1S takes that idea as a starting point, but reworks it as a modern t...
Schiit Vestri
Schiit Audio has built a large part of its reputation around one deceptively difficult idea - making serious audio products at prices that still feel almost stubbornly reasonable. The Vestri takes that philosophy into the headphone DAC/amp dongle category, a segment crowded with small devices that often look similar, use similar chipsets and compete mostly on specification lists. Schiit is entering that space with its usual mixture of s...
Revox Studiomaster CD100
The compact disc may no longer dominate the music market, but it has never really disappeared from serious hi-fi systems. Revox is now responding to that renewed interest with the Studiomaster CD100, a compact high-end CD player designed primarily for the company's Studiomaster M500 and M300 systems, as well as integration with Revox Multiuser 3.0. The model is small by traditional hi-fi standards, measuring only 200 mm wide, but it is ...
Noble Audio Lu Ban
Noble Audio has introduced Lu Ban, a new statement hybrid in-ear monitor in its universal IEM lineup. The model combines a 10-mm wooden composite diaphragm dynamic driver with two newly developed Super-Magnetic planar drivers. The idea is not simply to add another multi-driver construction to Noble's catalog, but to combine natural diaphragm materials with a fast, technically capable magnetic driver system in a way that gives the earpho...
Gold Note HP-5.2
Gold Note has introduced the HP-5.2, a new high-end headphone amplifier that joins the Italian manufacturer's Series 5.2 lineup. The model is aimed at listeners who want a serious desktop or system-based headphone amplifier, but also expect a level of flexibility that goes beyond a conventional analog amp. In typical Gold Note fashion, the HP-5.2 combines a technically ambitious circuit with a relatively compact chassis, a touchscreen i...
We Are Rewind Freddie
We Are Rewind is a French audio brand focused on reviving cassette culture through modernized portable players and accessories. Its products combine analog nostalgia with contemporary usability, giving listeners a way to enjoy physical media while keeping practical features such as Bluetooth connectivity, rechargeable batteries and modern design refinements. Now We Are Rewind has launched Freddie, a new pair of wireless headphones inspi...
Raidho X2.8
For Raidho, the X Series has always carried a slightly unusual task. It is the Danish manufacturer's more accessible loudspeaker line, but it still has to sound and feel like a Raidho - fast, open, highly resolved and built around the company's own driver technology. The new X2.8 takes that idea into a larger floorstanding format, giving the range a serious three-way model with deeper bass, greater dynamic scale and more of the physical...
Sendy Audio Apollo Pro
Sendy Audio's Apollo Pro is a new open-back planar magnetic headphone designed around a lightweight nano-diaphragm driver, wooden earcups and a comfort-focused construction intended for longer listening sessions. The model sits in the increasingly competitive middle ground of the headphone market, where buyers expect more than a basic planar driver and a nice finish. In this case, Sendy Audio is putting emphasis on diaphragm technology...
Luxman D-100 Centennial
For Luxman, the physical disc has never been treated as a format from the past. The new D-100 Centennial, created to mark the Japanese company's 100th anniversary, shows how far the brand is still willing to take SACD and CD playback while also turning the player into a reference-class DAC for modern high-resolution sources. As the successor to the D-10X, it is not merely an anniversary edition with a special nameplate, but a comprehens...
Topping DX9 Discrete
Topping has built much of its reputation on DACs and headphone amplifiers that combine ambitious engineering with unusually strong measured performance. The DX9 Discrete takes that formula into a more premium and more distinctive direction. It is a fully balanced DAC, preamplifier and headphone amplifier in one compact chassis, but its main point of interest is not the number of functions it combines. The real story is the conversion ar...
Jamo Concert Legacy & Concert Element
Jamo has announced two new loudspeaker families, Concert Legacy and Concert Element, marking a major step in the brand's 2026 direction and a clear attempt to re-establish its presence in Scandinavian hi-fi. Both ranges will be available from August 2026, with Concert Legacy positioned as the company's premium passive speaker family and Concert Element developed as a more contemporary expression of Danish functional design. The launch i...
Pro-Ject Stream Box E
Pro-Ject's smallest components have always had a practical mission - to add a specific hi-fi function without forcing the user to rebuild the whole system around it. The Stream Box E follows that logic in the streaming era. It is an entry-level multi-room streamer and preamplifier designed to bring network playback, app control, wireless multi-room functions and analog integration to existing amplifiers, power amps or active speakers, a...
Avid Ingenium SE
Avid has introduced the Ingenium SE, a new turntable that succeeds the Ingenium Plug&Play and brings the company's entry-level analog platform closer to its more advanced designs. The original Ingenium Plug&Play was conceived as a relatively accessible way into Avid's world of vinyl playback, combining straightforward setup with engineering drawn from the company's higher-end turntables. The new Ingenium SE follows the same gene...
Monitor Audio Radius 4G
Monitor Audio has introduced the Radius Series 4G, a new generation of one of its best-known compact loudspeaker ranges. The idea behind the series is straightforward but still highly relevant - to offer proper hi-fi performance from speakers small enough to work in modern interiors, desktop systems, multi-room installations and discreet home cinema setups. The new line has been redesigned around Monitor Audio's Transparent Design Philo...
