High-resolution

The successfully-crowdfunded ZuperDAC from Zorloo, for example, is about the size of a USB thumb drive and supports audio file resolutions right up to 24-bit/192 kHz. We've spent the last few weeks diving into our hi-res FLAC and WAV vault for some lossless easy listening.​

Fiio's new X7 high resolution digital audio player features a multitouch screen, quad-core processor and runs Android KitKat. That may seem a little ordinary by today's smart device standards, but for Fiio users this DAP represents a gigantic leap into the 21st century.

The Colorfly C10 personal music player shares some high end technology with its more expensive C4 sibling, but the audio resolution is bumped up to 32-bits/192 kHz, with support for native DSD128 decoding.​

Back in May, British headphone maker RHA announced a new pair of in-ear headphones that debuted something called DualCoil dynamic driver technology. The T20s promised a true-to-life reproduction and support for high resolution audio. We got to plug in for some hi-res, and lo-res, listening.

After a successful Indiegogo campaign earlier this year, Hong Kong-based Zorloo has now started shipping its Z:ero digital earphones to backers. The company's Andy Ho sent Gizmag some to try out.

For its first foray into a crowded earphone space, PSB Speakers is aiming straight for the audiophile jugular with a combination of hybrid dual-drivers and its own Roomfeel technology.

This week at the Farnborough Airshow, BAE Systems showed off its latest Helmet-Mounted Display (HMD), the Striker II flight helmet. The unit provides digital, visor-projected night vision and tracking systems that are equivalent or better than current HMD systems.

Scientists in the UK have developed created a prototype device that features pixels just 30 x 30 nanometers in size. The development could lead to extremely high-resolution displays that put the pixel densities found in current displays to shame.
