"While the A-2 has a limited feature set, what it does, it does extremely well for the price. You won’t find many amplifiers that are as well executed as the A-2 for the money and neither will you hear many that offer the sort of musical insights that it brings to the party."
-the-ear.net
"To my way of experiencing, the A-2 is for people who dig deep—deep into the music they love, the story behind the products they choose to live with, and even how these things look and feel. If you are that kind of listener, the Soulnote A-2 has many riches to offer including a purity of sound that makes listening to music addictive, magical, and full of wonder."

"Built to high standards, SOULNOTE’s A-2 is an elegant, graceful amplifier with some impressive chops. It has the crisp effortless authority and tonal refinement expected of a good tube amplifier and acts like an open window on the music."
-Hifi+
"The A-3 states its own case very strongly. Sonically, the A-3 is capable of demonstrating a superbly balanced mix of refinement, purity, uncompromising musical information/detail, and precision. The A-3 is super-neutral, yet the Soulnote integrated amplifier nails the infusion of Soul in your music’s Notes."
-Soundstage Australia
"The Soulnote D-2 is an exceptionally good digital to analogue converter, one that truly does bridge the gap between analogue and digital sources. It is superbly built, has features found hardly anywhere else and makes digital streams sound like real music in a way that is rare."
-The-ear.net
"The SoulNote M-3 has a human dimension and a human approach to sound. And that's what we need. Hence the ˻GOLD FINGERPRINT award."
-HighFidelity
"I found the Soulnote E-2 to be everything one could want in a phono amp, whether or not one owns a DS Audio cartridge. So clean, detailed and open is the sound that I can see users swapping cartridges just for the fun of it, to challenge the E-2's prowess."
-hifi news
"What Soulnote has accomplished with this product is far from trivial. It’s hard to overstate how few so-called “super integrateds” really achieve the refinement of separates, but in my search for the ultimate integrated, the A-3 is one of the few."

"I was struck by the Soulnote S-3 Reference’s superb tonal faithfulness and its overall refinement in the way it handles micro-detail. It’s an engaging player that invites long listening sessions free of listener fatigue and the dreaded digititis syndrome."
-Soundstage Australia
"With cutting-edge engineering, a broad feature set, and the capability to play any format digital music file with reference-level audio quality and with an engaging and natural musicality, the Soulnote D-1N is an exceptional and versatile DAC and an excellent value proposition."

"..one might presume that I'm going 'easy' on the Soulnote S-3. ... I am happy to declare that this unit not only exemplifies why SACD is the finest physical digital source yet, it also further elevates CD sound to narrow the gap between digital and analogue. Which is all one could want. This player is an utter joy.
-Hifi News
"The SoulNote CD and amplifier are a natural pairing that clearly play to each others strengths. The open and airy nature of the CD player is complimented by the amps powerful and forceful presentation."
