HarmonicDyne has released new wired headphones HarmonicDyne BAROQUE – the model uses large-sized 60 mm dynamic drivers with a metal-ceramic diaphragm. This approach simultaneously minimizes distortion, providing an ideal piston stroke, and guarantees a fast dynamic response.
HarmonicDyne BAROQUE use an open acoustic design and have an impedance of 64 Ohms. The model operates in the frequency range from 10 to 50,000 Hz and has a sensitivity of 109 dB. Distortion does not exceed 0.2%. HarmonicDyne BAROQUE can be connected via a 3.5 mm minijack or a balanced Pentaconn 4.4 mm.
The HarmonicDyne BAROQUE headphones are made from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy with CNC machining to minimize resonance. The stainless steel headband frame distributes the load evenly, and the leather and mesh ear pads provide comfort even during long-term use.
The HarmonicDyne BAROQUE headphones are available now for a suggested retail price of $559.

Treehaus Audiolab has announced the Treehaus Audiolab LCR Phono reference vacuum tube phono preamplifier. To equalize the signal, the device uses only passive components: inductors (L), capacitors (C) and resistors (R).
Rotel DX-5 is a compact model, but despite its dimensions, the device does not use digital amplification and operates in class A/B, reaching 2 x 33 W into 4 Ohm load and 2 x 25 W into 8 Ohm speakers. The new product is equipped with a power supply based on a powerful toroidal transformer created by Rotel itself, and high-current transistors.
The Totaldac d1-total digital-to-analog converter has been introduced – according to the company, this device guarantees the maximum possible for a single-block design with external PSU. “Under the hood”, in addition to the d1-triunity DAC converter, there is also volume control, a network streamer (latest version developed for the d1-streamer-live), 40 femtoseconds oscillators, a microfilter USB loop (developed for the d1-streamer-live) and anti-vibration supports.
Japanese company Audio-Technica has announced the imminent opening of pre-orders for a limited edition of the innovative Audio-Technica Hotaru turntable (since May 30, 2025). The model will go on sale in October of this year at a price of $ 9,990 US - only 1000 turntables will be made.
PS Audio has released a line of new components - The Paul McGowan Signature Series, which includes a preamp, DAC, disk transport and phonostage. All components feature innovative circuitry and offer impressive performance.
