28.02.2025 08:12 | ~1 minute read
FiiO has unveiled the flagship FiiO FT7 planar headphones, which will be available at retail in late 2025. The model marks the culmination of the development of the famous FT1, FT3 and FT5 headphones.
The FiiO FT7 will be the perfect partner for the FiiO K19 headphone amplifier. From the Zebrawood grille to the 106 mm full-size planar drivers, every detail and element of the headphones literally screams quality. The new product’s arsenal includes multi-layer gold and silver precious metal plating technology for improved sound quality and durability, an ultra-thin 1 μm film membrane and 18 high-quality N52 neodymium magnets on each side.
The FiiO FT7 have a sensitivity of 94 dB / mW and weigh 427 grams. Sheepskin and suede ear pads, a single-crystal copper cable cryogenically treated with liquid nitrogen, and a YauLi linen case specially designed for storing the headphones are the icing on the cake. Full specs will be available soon.

SMSL PL200T – CD transport with USB DSD streaming support
SMSL presented the SMSL PL200T CD transport – the highlight of the model was the proprietary SMSL PASS Servo system, which ensures very accurate reading of information from optical media. The SMSL PL200T also has the ability to play MQA-CDs and a very interesting function of working as a digital transport - the device can be used as a digital interface with a USB-C input, supporting digital streams in PCM format with a resolution of up to 32 bit/768 kHz and in DSD format up to DSD512.
Børresen Unveils Six New Floorstanding Speakers in T Series
Børresen has announced significant changes to its range of loudspeakers - the new Børresen T series of loudspeakers, consisting of three models of different sizes (T1, T3 and T5) and three upgraded SSE (Silver Supreme Edition) versions, will replace the Børresen 0 series in the company's product range.
Accuphase A-48S – Current Feedback Topology Amplifier
The current feedback amplification topology and powerful power supply of the new Accuphase A-48S amplifier provides a large reserve and stable output in pure Class A. For a load with an impedance of 8 ohms, 50 watts are available, and halving the load impedance doubles the output power. With a short-term drop in load impedance to 1 ohm, the amplifier is capable of delivering a power of 400 watts.
Remton audio 481 MK2 – a Tube Phonostage Based on NOS Tesla Resistors
The Czech audio equipment manufacturer Remton Audio has introduced a tube (4 x JJ ECC81) phono preamplifier with Remton audio 481 MK2 Limited edition – this approach is explained by the use of NOS Tesla resistors with a deviation of only 0.25 dB in the range from 20 Hz to 50 kHz. These resistors are quite rare, so the circulation of both the first and second versions of the phono preamplifier is limited.
TOTALDAC d1-CD – Top-Loading Compact Disc Transport
French company TOTALDAC has released the d1-CD CD transport, the “ultimate solution” for High End disc-based systems. The TOTALDAC d1-CD transport is based on the top-loading CD-PRO8 drive, and also features separate clock generators for the drive and audio outputs, as well as an intelligent ground distribution system.
