Gentle and moist sound | Moonriver 404 Reference Review in Audio Forum magazine by Hong Ruifeng
“As the time runs and stretches, the 404 Reference is getting more and more comprehensive. The low-frequency timbre definitely forms a school by itself. While playing the song “Queen”, a rhythmic kick drum in the opening, was never heard like this. It allows me to hear the very subtle sound of the musician hitting the drumhead. The low frequencies were bouncing shockingly and the sound was more pliable than ever before. Firm, drum-skinned texture, like real, shocking waves in the air.
The guitar performance and the bass sound even more lively. The 404 Reference reveals layer by layer the low-frequencies, and enriches the sound. It’s the most “human” sound I’ve heard recently”.
