The Darko.Audio podcast makes the leap to video this month with 6moons’ Srajan Ebaen riding tandem for a deeper dive into four news items. The aim of our conversation was to offer more insight into the products under discussion than a regurgitated press release might — but we’ll let viewers be the judge of that. Under the microscope this time out were: FiiO’s first over-ear headphone (the FT3); iFi’s Neo iDSD 2 which is the world’s first DAC to offer support for aptX Lossless Bluetooth; a solid-state amplifier ‘tube’ that uses GANFeTs from Italy’s AGD; and the second edition of the HEDDphone from Berlin’s HEDD Audio.
