The Samsung DA-E750 is the globe'southward first sound arrangement with dual docks for Apple tree and Galaxy devices. As the flagship model, it's the simply ane in the range with Samsung's hybrid digital/valve amp engineering, designed to add extra warmth to the audio.

Samsung DA-E750: Features

That'southward just the tip of the iceberg. Information technology'south also equipped with AirPlay and its Galaxy equivalent AllShare Play, alongside the latest incarnation of Bluetooth (3.0), which uses the apt-X CSR codec to boost sound quality. Throw in USB playback and yous're looking at 1 generously specced system that could only be improved by adding DAB.

Samsung DA-E750: Design

The luxurious build quality is easily on a par with the likes of B&W Zeppelin Air and Monitor Audio i-deck 200. The wood bodywork with hand-crafted piano finish gives information technology a truly high-finish feel, topped off by gorgeous silver cone surrounds on the front, shiny stage plugs poking out of the cones and a circular window on top showing off its glowing red valves.

Samsung DA-E750: Connectivity

Samsung DA-E750: Ease of employ

Up close control is handled past a circular panel of buttons on height, with illuminated icons showing the selected input. You lot also go a small silver remote that sits snugly in the hand and sports clearly labelled buttons.

With no display panel, functioning is a little like fumbling in the dark, particularly with the control panel being on top – merely an LED would have probably ruined the aesthetic. As a issue MP3 playback is random and there'south no way of browsing iPod menus using the remote.

AirPlay is simple to setup. With iPhones, the DA-E750 shares its Wi-Fi settings subsequently docking the device and holding down a button on the dorsum. PC setup requires a temporary Wi-Fi network and a browser, which is more cumbersome. But the connection is stable and didn't drop out even with other Wi-Fi devices jumping in and out of the network.

Samsung DA-E750: Sound quality

Music playback is remarkably expert from whatever source, with its powerful 100W amplifier going nice and loud without distortion. Bass is tight and solid – with the valve amp lending extra depth – while loftier frequencies polish and vocals sound dreamy.

Sure it tin't quite match the smooth of the NAD Viso 1 but this is still an impressive performer. The 'Bass' setting adds extra richness to the overall sound without sounding too muddy, though some may notice it a little full-on.

Samsung DA-E750: Verdict

The Samsung DA-E750 is a stunning wireless audio system, blest with an abundance of features, a luxurious design and – virtually importantly of all – hugely enjoyable audio quality.

With dual docking for Apple and Android devices, AirPlay, AllShare Play and Bluetooth 3.0 it's a uniquely versatile system. On the downside, there'south no DAB, USB and iPod control is hitting and miss and it won't play FLAC, WAV or AAC.
