Bohemian Guitars


Bohemian's electric guitars are made from oil cans (also vintage metal lunchboxes). The tiny company was founded by brothers Adam and Shaun Lee, who grew up in South Africa where people routinely made instruments out of discarded materials. Before you dismiss the guitars as misguided do-gooder goofiness, check out the company’s funky but charming video where you can hear for yourself how these instruments play.

Meridian Explorer



Posher than a pass to the Henley Regatta, Meridian’s Explorer USB DAC and headphone amp usurps the motherboard audio in your laptop and replaces it with audio processing ripped straight from the brand’s Reference product line. Music files, Spotify, YouTube, the Explorer will socially ernhance any source played from your PC.

T+A DAC 8


This dour high-end DAC from German brand T+A is nothing if not versatile. Eight digital inputs wring the utmost clarity from all sources up to 24-bit/192kHz, and it can also function as a pre amp in an all digital music system. Alternatively, a headphone amp means you can simply park it and rock out to Rammstein.

 The humble DAC (aka Digital Analogue Converter) has become the latest must-have upgrade for your ears. Designed to maximise the sonic performance of any two channel source, be it computer, smartphone or TV box, DACS come in a variety of flavours and form factors.
At their simplest, they can be used to transform the audio output of a laptop or PC, and often sport an integrated headphone amplifier. Connected by USB, they can either route your files directly to a standalone stereo system, or sit on a desk, waiting for you to plug in your preferred headphones.
One convenient variant is the Bluetooth DAC. This typically connects directly to a hi-fi system and enables you to wirelessly stream music files and Internet services from your mobile to the sound system.
