SMSL RAW Pro DAC1: This did not spark Joy for me as they say... TylersEclectic 2025-07-08 | Sometimes, things just don't quite have that "it" factor or "Spark Joy" in them enough to really get me excited about them. That doesn't mean they are bad, just means they aren't for me in that particular timeframe. Which sums up my experience with the SMSL RAWPro DAC1... not a bad DAC... just didn't really move the needle for me to get excited about it. The SMSL RAWPro DAC1 was sent out for demo by APOS Audio; all opinions are my own. This demo unit will be sent to the next person in line for review.Landing page for the SMSL RAW Pro DAC1 (non-affiliated): https://apos.audio/products/smsl-rawpro-dac-1You can find some of my photography work if so inclined to look at what I like taking photos of: instagram.com/tylerseclectic

PSVANE KT88 & 12AU7: lets talk audiophile tubes TylersEclectic 2025-05-09 | The PSVANE KT88 and 12AU7 Horizon line audiophile tubes were sent to me by PSVANE, and they did not ask me for anything other than my honest opinion and experience with these tubes. They are letting me keep these, but no money was exchanged, nor were there any caveats or requests/demands made regarding this video, nor did they ask to see this video before release... in fact, I think they might have forgotten they sent them to me. I will probably use these as reference tubes for the future as I do enjoy the signature and synergy with my systems... but, I might also send them to an audio group for use as demo tour tubes, I'm undecided and I need to ask the audio groups if they would even be interested in them =). Sorry, winded response... trying to be transparent... probably should do a video on this topic to clarify my thoughts and view on this type of thing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!So, looking at this from the YouTube viewpoint and asking my lawyer wife... this isn't considered paid product placement or sponsorship...

ifi Signature iDSD and iCAN: My thoughts and opinions TylersEclectic 2024-05-10 | My thoughts and opinion on the ifi iDSD and iCAN headphone all in one, and amp tube hybrids. All opinions and thoughts are my own. This was sent out to demo by ifi audio. I said this would be a short one... it was not ha... but I basically did two products in one go. Edit: I was incorrect in my assumption that both amp stages were the same here is the correct information“The amp stage of the iDSD is not the same as the Pro iCAN. By definition, every DAC has an output stage, so every DAC has an "amp." We just built a high quality output stage that is able to adjust the gain/volume on the Pro iDSD, thus it can function as both amp/DAC. The Pro iCAN on the other hand is a totally different beast. It has WAY more power than the Pro iDSD amp stage, while also having a much lower noise floor, making it so it can be paired with sensitive IEMs all the way up to hard to drive headphones. I'm not surprised you prefer the TT with Pro iCAN combo, since the amp stage is far superior to what the Pro iDSD alone can offer!”ifi audio iDSD(non-affiliated): ifi-audio.com/products/pro-idsd-signatureifi audio iCAN(non-affiliated): ifi-audio.com/products/pro-ican-signatureTracks mentioned in the video:- Thinking 'bout love (acoustic) Wild Rivers:songwhip.com/wild-rivers/thinking-bout-love-acoustic- One more night (live) Michael Kiwanuka:songwhip.com/michael-kiwanuka/one-more-night-live- To Stay - Plum: songwhip.com/plum2/to-stay- Way with words - Bahamas:songwhip.com/bahamas/way-with-wordsFavorite Headphone stand!
