Leak TruStream: Two-minute review Leak has been doing very nicely as its own tribute act lately, and the latest product to get the ‘walnut and aluminium’ mid-20th century modern retro treatment is a network streamer called TruStream. But while it looks like a throwback, the TruStream is thoroughly modern on the inside. Wired and wireless connectivity, balanced and unbalanced analogue outputs, a top-end 32bit ESS Sabre DAC and a streaming platform provided by Silent Angel all contribute to a player that’s absolutely got it where it counts. Its control app could learn a thing or two from pretty much anyone else’s control app, mind you… Given some good hi-res content to deal with, the Leak proves an expansive, detailed listen that controls both the layout of a soundstage and the description of rhythms really well. Its powers of insight and resolution make for an absorbing listen — although the sensa...

Its defining feature is not a proprietary control panel or unusual hosting architecture, but a 300% renewable-energy certificate match and tree planting alongside conventional hosting tools.

SteelSeries Rival Pro review The SteelSeries Rival Pro feels as if it's really pushing the boundaries of what a gaming mouse can do. Even when I glanced at the specs sheet, I was mightily impressed with the features on offer: interference-free ‘true’ 8K polling, hot-swappable batteries for endless play, and 42,000 DPI sensitivity. But it’s one thing having a good set of specs, and another performing well in practice. So just how good is the SteelSeries Rival Pro? And is it worth its asking price of $179.99 / £169.99 (about AU$250)? Here’s my verdict after hours of testing. First of all, this mouse feels incredibly comfortable to use — in fact, it's up there with some of the best mice as far as ergonomics are concerned. It strikes a happy medium in terms of size, and it fits perfectly in my hand — though it's worth noting that this model is for right-handers only, whereas the ambidext...

Hisense UR9 RGB MiniLED TV: Two-minute review The Hisense UR9 is a great showcase for all that RGB LED TVs have to offer. The RGB LED tech in this TV means its able to hit a much wider range of colors than rival mini-LED TVs with more brightness. Thanks to the fact this TV gets up to 180Hz refresh rate helps it compete with the best gaming TVs out there (as do features like AMD Freesync). And the color coverage and accuracy are as good as anything else you'll find on the market. Of course, an RGB TV like this does suffer from some minor blooming, which the best TVs in the premium mid-range bracket have mostly solved. Add in the higher price tag and it’s clear that the Hisense UR9, as well as the other RGB LED TVs hitting the market, don’t offer up the same value as other QLED or mini-LED TVs in the same price range. Like those other TVs though, it is filled to the gills with features, such...
