Edition such a solid reputation, like
customisable digital filters, PCM
support all the way up to 32-bit/
768kHz, super-clean power thanks to
that internal battery, and a femto-
precision clock for perfect timing.T3 SAYS: If you don’t know why you
need it, you don’t need it – but if you
do, you do.IFI MICRO IDSD SIGNATURE
£649, ifi-audio.comWhether you’re rocking some
seriously high impedance cans or you
just want to drag an extra dimension
out of your tunes, the Signature
edition of iFi’s super-precise iDSD
DAC is on the case. The portable but
distinctly desktop-sized DAC doesn’t
only differ from the original in its
Space Blue colour scheme: the
Signature version adds a 4.4mm jack
so you can avoid adapters, refines a
whole bunch of signal paths to add
even more detail, and adds USB-C
charging for its 6-12 hour internal
battery. All this, and you still get the
goodies that gave the previous Black
BELKIN BOOSTCHARGE PRO 3-IN-1 WIRELESS
CHARGER WITH MAGSAFE
£140, belkin.comWas the iPhone 12’s most headline-
grabbing feature its camera or
processor? Was it its new metal-
edged case design? Or was it – and
you’ll need to bear with us here – the
reinvention of MagSafe? Apple’s
updated wireless charging tech can
throw as much as 15W of power at
the back of your phone for some
speedy cable-free juicing, but given
that it only works its best when it’s
properly magnet-aligned, and given
that Apple no longer includes a
charger in the box, you’ll need the
right hardware to make the most ofit. So here’s a three-in-one stand that
aligns the iPhone for full-powered
charging in either portrait or
landscape orientations, as well as
including space for your Apple
Watch and AirPods to pick up some
watts at the same time. Neat.T3 SAYS: Holds the 12 neatly aloft.NOKIA 8.3 5G
£499, hmdglobal.comWhich phone would James Bond
use? If you answered ‘a SPY-Phone’,
well done, have a sticker; the answer
isn’t actually the Nokia 8.3 5G,
though we’re told debuting 00-agent
Nomi will sport one in the upcoming
No Time to Die. If you fancy yourself
some spy-grade handset action, this
is very reasonably priced and it’s a
phone with big-screen looks: it’s
huge, with a 6.8-inch display, and the
Polar Night paint job really is
something special. Camera-wise it
sports a quad-sensor array (though
one of the four is actually a 2MP
depth sensor), and inside you’ll find
a very solid Snapdragon 765G
processor, more than enough RAM
to play with and 128GB of storage, all
of which powers a bloat-free Android
One operating system. Oh, and
there’s 5G, for a high-speed
connection to MI5.T3 SAYS: Almost as exciting a
prospect as the next Bond movie.IMAGE^SOURCE:^ IFIIMAGE^SOURCE:^ BELKINIMAGE^SOURCE:^ NOKIA
