Celest Yaksha are new in-ear headphones, each of which is equipped with four drivers - two dynamic, one armature and one microplanar. The system is controlled by a four-way crossover.
Drivers with an 8 mm diaphragm are responsible for deep bass, a dynamic head with an LCP diaphragm with a diameter of as much as 10 mm works on mid frequencies, a composite armature driver Knowles RAN-62462 guarantees the reproduction of the upper mid and high frequencies, and a microplanar driver developed by Celest itself works in the high-frequency and ultra-high-frequency range.
The model is available in two colors: red and green, and the ergonomic shape provides a comfortable fit. Included with the Celest Yaksha in-ear headphones is a four-core cable, braided using 6N OCC Litz technology. Each core is made of silver and copper OCC conductors. The cable is equipped with standard two-pin 0.78 mm headphone connectors, as well as interchangeable plugs: an unbalanced 3.5 mm minijack and a balanced Pentaconn 4.4 mm are included.
The Celest Yaksha in-ear hybrid headphones are available for sale at a suggested retail price of $139.

MSB Technology has introduced the highest level of evolution of its own digital-to-analog converters – the three-block Sentinel DAC Ultra High-End class. The development of the Sentinel DAC took more than three decades – and the result is extraordinary.
Cary Audio has introduced a new streaming integrated amplifier Cary Audio DMS-300A – the model develops a power of 2 x 75 W into speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms, uses MOSFET transistor amplification of class A/B and achieves 100 dB signal-to-noise ratio with 0.5% distortion.
The new Pass Labs HPA-1c headphone amplifier is introduced. As you can see from the model index, the new product is based on the previously released HPA-1 - and offers accurate volume control, wide bandwidth and a direct coupled MOSFET output stage.
QUAD has launched serial production of the QUAD ESL 2812X and QUAD ESL 2912X acoustic systems – the sixth generation of branded speakers replaces the ESL 2812 and ESL 2912, released in 2012.
Musical Fidelity has launched serial production of the new integrated amplifier Musical Fidelity B1xi – a development of the well-known Musical Fidelity B1 model from the 90s of the twentieth century.
