“If you find yourself frequently editing audio on the move, or you simply want better audio quality from your system, the Groove has to be worth a listen.”
“If you find yourself frequently editing audio on the move, or you simply want better audio quality from your system, the Groove has to be worth a listen.”
“The sound is marvelous—the best I’ve heard yet from portable headphone/DACs I’ve used in the past. It sounds like the mix I know well—clear high frequencies with accurate and distinct bass”
“In the end the Groove can make your music sound the way it should be listened to. The overall sound is balanced with great retrieval of details.. To top it off it can drive most headphones with it’s amp section. It sounds better than higher priced dedicated desktop amp/dac combos that I have used. Whatever magic they did in this little unit, just works…It’s not every day I get to demo something that gives me that WOW factor, the Groove has definitely shocked me.“
“I could hear the biggest difference when listening to the bluegrass band Punch Brothers. Even when the full band was playing, the fiddle, mandolin, guitar and other instruments all stand on their own. Groove is also capable of handling high-res audio up to 24 bit/192kHz, so folks who prefer FLAC will feel right at home. And yes, you can leverage the high-quality streaming from Tidal here as well.”
