Are these the three best hifi products of 2023?

Are these the three best hi-fi products of 2023? The products that beat out all contenders to stand alone. Maybe. But maybe not. Ask yourself: how many streaming DACs, for example, would I need to bring home to discover the ‘best’? And at what price point/s? How much work would that entail? Rinse and repeat for CD players, amplifiers, phono stages, turntables and I’d not get any sleep for a year. Instead, the above video contains my three favourites of 2023 – the ones that I’ve enjoyed using the most during the review process…but also outside of it.
