EveryList iOS app Review

The iPhone is far from lacking when it comes to “to-do” list apps, so much so that the only ways for new apps in this genre to distinguish themselves are with unique functionality or a unique interface.  The former is relatively difficult (there is only so much one can change about a to-do list app before it becomes something else entirely), so many developers resort to the latter.  Also following this route is developer Tan Wee Giap’s ...

NuForce Icon uDAC-2 Headphone Amp/DAC Review

I have mentioned in the last few reviews that I am now reviewing headphones using the NuForce uDAC-2 USB amp/DAC plugged into my new iMac, when I am not using my iPod. There's a really good reason for this. The iMac audio output sounds like … well, let's just say it sounds bad. Really, really bad. It finally dawned on me why anyone would spend hard-earned money on a decent pair of headphones or earphones only to have the experience ruined by the iMac's lousy internal DAC. No one should spend a dime on new headphones if all they are going to do is plug them directly into the audio-out port on the iMac. After putting up with distortion on some of my more challenging tracks in iTunes, I finally gave up. I just plugged phones into my iPod Classic or iPhone if I wanted decent audio. ...

Ultimate Ears 7 Pro Custom In-Ear Monitors Review

Decades ago, I use to be a pretty good musician with a decent enough ear. Although, I was never a true audiophile by any stretch of the imagination. By the time I purchased my first iPod I was relatively satisfied with the stock earbuds that Apple included with their revolutionary device. But my time here at the Gadgeteer has enabled me to try/review a multitude of very good earphones and monitors. This perk of the job has evolved my appreciation of the nuances of what, at least for me, makes a great listening experience (think evolving from crappy college beer and pizza to fine red wine with a steak fillet). So, when ...
