ROKSAN ATTESSA STREAMING AMP: BLUOS, BLUETOOTH, PHONO AMP, INTERNAL DAC, HEAD AMP & MORE REVIEWED!

[@jos5067]

Very honest and thorough review, thanks! 🙏

[@Voidoid77]

Smashing, in-depth review, thanks! Have always had a soft spot for Roksan components going back to the mid-80's. I still use my, (now 5yr. old), Roksan Caspian Pre/Power... for my amplification -and before that, I was a keen user of the Kandy series of amplification/cd-players. Love my amps! [I discovered Roksan way back in the mid-'80s and had a Xerxes t/table for a number of years w/ a MC cart., along w/ Musical Fidelity amplification, those big Musical Fidelity MC4 speakers & a Nakamich cassette deck. I was quite anti-CD due to being a record-shop manager and saw how much of a mark-up there was on CD's compared to the vinyl version of any given release... Halcyon days, indeed].

0:45 - This is not the Attessa, but the new Caspian 4G, which will be absolutely STUNNING. I hope you can make a review on this new Roksan flagship soon.

My brother one of these for his B&w 703 s2 i personally loved it and prefer it over his other amps he had previously such as marantz 40n and evo 150

Nice review, could you tell us which speakers you tested with or recommend with this amp?

[@alainduquenois3812]

Entièrement d'accord avec vous de plus son poid de 10kg me paraît léger pour un 2x80 car j'ai un denon pma-2500ne et il fait 2x80 pour 25kg

I tried their CD player in the same range and it was excellent however, I'm a skipper and cant deal with a CD player without the numbered selection buttons. I just rarely listen to something front to back like a LP. Hitting the fast forward button eight times to get to cut number eight is not a solution. Shame.Your point about adapters is well taken. For some reason, many digital inputs include a RCA and a BNC input. I never have used BNC and dont know who might. It always seems to me that two Coax RCA inputs would be more practical, Like one for a streamer and on for a CD transport. People always say use a BNC to RCA adapter and I can always hear the adapter, not a welcome sound.

Had my attessa streamer and cdt going on 3 years , i bypass the dac with a chord quetest , superior to the burrbrown , bypass the streamer into wiim pro just as good as the bluos , bluos is great to use . speakers are neat ministra . i spin records now and then so happy with phono . I use quad era 1 phones occasionally so happy with the head amp , i have the smaller dongle , wifi is crap i use ethernet , i still to this day can not get the amp and cdt to pair in the maestro app , auto stanby works when it feels like it , sound wise i find female vocals and acoustic are excellent but i think it does not do justice to my speakers , they keep mentioning the maestro app but there has been no review where cdt amp and tt have been set up and working, as i dont think it can . Am i happy , hmmm soso i guess

I have 5 sets of headphones here and all except one terminate with 3.5mm headphone jack.

[@TheAudiophileMan]

I have lots too. Well I used one in the test didn’t I? But they are mainly suited to mobile use.

[@Taffy84]

@@TheAudiophileMan I let Leo sort this. Headphone Connection Terminations Based on the provided search results, it is clear that most headphones terminate in 3.5mm connectors, not 6.5mm. The search results highlight the widespread use of 3.5mm plugs for portable audio equipment and headphones, while 6.35mm plugs are commonly used on home and professional component equipment.

Have Roksan stopped manufacturing turntables? They seem to be absent from their website!

[@andrewbrazier9664]

Quite possibly only had 1 batch manufactured . I have seen them advertised this week for £399 online. Try RS

Lo trovo troppo costoso e sopravvalutato. Preferisco montare lo streamer esterno WIIM Ultra. Sono indeciso tra il Cambridge Audio cxA81 MK2 e il Rotel A14 MK2. Il primo ha gli ingressi bilanciati, che non credo mi serviranno e il secondo lo stadio phono che potrei utilizzare. Però per me conta la qualità sonora e l'immagine audio. Tra il Cambridge e il Rotel cosa mi consiglia?? Grazie
