Rotel A-14 MKII hi-fi amplifier
Powerful and versatile, the Rotel A-14 MKII hi-fi amplifier can be combined with a wide range of wired and wireless sources. €1,499.
This Rotel amp offers great value for money! […] What struck us initially was the precision of the strings and brass. The power reserve is incredible, giving the impression of having a much more powerful amp, and the bass is very varied, tight when needed and sometimes rounder. […] I recommend the amp without hesitation, and I think it’s one of the best in its price range.

FiiO R9 headphone amplifier
The FiiO R9 network player features a dual ESS DAC that enables playback of Hi-Res tracks at up to 32-bit/768kHz, DSD512 and MQA, even from a computer via USB. €1,490.
This little box is a dark horse. Having read the technical specifications of this device and those of FiiO’s M7, I was eager to try it without having had the chance to listen to it first. […] From the very first listening session, the resolution of this little box was astonishing. With headphones, I discovered a wealth of details that I’d never heard before on music I thought I’d known for a long time.

Focal Bathys noise cancelling headphones
The Focal Bathys active noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones can be transformed into true hi-fi headphones thanks to their high-quality dynamic transducers and USB DAC mode (24-bit/192kHz). €799.
I’ve only had the headphones for a short time, but I’ve wanted them ever since they came out, and I’m not disappointed even after waiting for so long. 800 euros is a lot of money, but these headphones are definitely worth it. Bluetooth for ease of use on the move, ANC to protect our ears, and a DAC adapted to the headphones, so there’s no need to pay for a separate DAC!

Sennheiser HD-600 hi-fi headphones
Combining finesse and lightness, the Duofol diaphragm transducers of the Sennheiser HD600 headphones deliver a rich, balanced and highly dynamic musical reproduction. €289.
The listening experience is transparent in all circumstances, with beautiful timbres and controlled bass. They are pleasant to wear, even after many hours. […] They’re endearing, addictive headphones that I’m sure I’ll keep for a long time, no matter what. They’re worth a try, but I highly recommend them as your first pair of hi-fi headphones before spending a lot of money.

Technics SL-1500C turntable
The Technics SL-1500C turntable, with its sturdy aluminum platter and anti-vibration chassis, is the perfect choice for fully enjoying 33, 45 or 78 rpm vinyl records. €990.
A true audiophile turntable, simple, elegant and efficient, with fabulous sound (the Nagaoka cartridge truly enhances this turntable). […] After 3 weeks of listening and various improvements, I’m still impressed by the audio quality of the Technics SL-1500. The design is also superb, exuding minimalism and good taste. I think this turntable is by far the best you can buy for under 1,000 euros!

EverSolo DMP-A8 network player
The brand’s flagship EverSolo DMP-A8 network player offers a host of features and connectivity options, all easily controlled from its large touchscreen or mobile app. €1,990.
In terms of user experience and the sound quality of the DAC and network player, the DMP-A8, for this price, rivals more expensive models […] For this price and the build quality as well as the user-friendliness and plethora of choices and possibilities, I can say that this device is one of the best audiophile items I’ve ever owned.

Philips OLED TV OLED808
Available in 48″/121cm, 55″/139cm and 65″/164cm, Philips OLED808 TVs support HDR10+ Adaptive and Dolby Vision. Their Philips P5 AI Perfect Picture Engine image processing guarantees precise, natural images. From €1,260.
I particularly appreciate all the available image and sound processing. The swivel stand is a very good idea and rare on this type of TV. I’m completely convinced by Ambilight, and my eyes thank me: watching a film in the dark with this type of indirect lighting is amazing. […] I’m impressed!

Zidoo Z9X Pro network player
The Zidoo Z9X Pro network player provides support for the latest audio and video file formats, as well as UHD 4K HDR display quality. €249.
Installation is quick and easy. As for use, it’s simple. The quality of the image (217cm LG screen) or of the sound transmitted via my receiver (Denon AVR-X1700H) to a Focal Sib Evo Dolby Atmos system is impressive. I didn’t expect so much. I’m blown away. […] For the price, I’m more than happy with my investment.

BenQ W4000i projector
The BenQ W4000i UHD-4K projector delivers a bright, accurate image, covering the entire DCI P3 color space. €2,990.
Picture quality is spot on, more cinematic than on my top-of-the-range LG Oled TV […] Colors can be set to be very vivid and perfectly contrasted if required. The picture is really top-notch. […] 3D projection is truly excellent, with no ghosting or other distracting effects, and no particular color deterioration. The depth of field and projection effects are well defined. It’s great to be able to see all my movies in 3D again.
