All components are top-notch, from gold plated connectors to a metal casing that will look at home in any rack of expensive equipment. AAC Bluetooth (Apple) and aptx (the rest) are supported for the best quality wireless connection: setup took seconds. Tracks seem to sing and rythms are toe tappingly tight. The next time someone complains that wireless music is no match for disc players, fire this up. Its a revelation. Verdict: Easy to use, terrific quality

Hi-Fi Choice Yearbook 2015. BEST AUDIO OF THE YEAR! 70 sonic treats to make music sound great…

Hailing from Canada, Mass Fidelity’s Relay DAC is n aptX capable design that decodes via a Burr-Brown PCM5102 and Cirrus Logic processor. AAC decoding is also supported, which means it is also backward compatible with less capable variants of Bluetooth as well.

With the rear outputs set to analogue, the performance with lossless files delivers on the promise of aptX.

… the Relay is consistently forgiving even with less than stellar mastering. It has the useful abiliy to pick out fine detail while simultaneously avoiding harshness and aggression.

An exceptionally well thought out piece of equipment … [that] I’ve had the pleasure to use.

Hana S Range Moving Coil Cartridges

CONCLUSION: I really liked these cartridges as they were fuss free and just got on with their job of producing great music. The low output for me was better but this doesn’t mean the high output was poor or wouldn’t be preferred by some listeners. If you only have a moving magnet input on your amp or pre amp then the high output version is a no brainer.
