Some people had already made a post about it, but just to post in the new release thread: New offers from campfire audio, the Honeydew, and Satsuma.

It’s interesting the commitment to shape from CA with different materials in both the IEM and the case.

Yeah these are interesting to me. Mainly the Honeydew. Everything about these (naming, colors, tuning) all seem to be very different than most of the IEM market. Good on Campfire for putting out something different.

isn’t this what the Zen Blue does?

GR Research came out with a new bookshelf kit, $199 for a “desktop speaker”. For anyone wanting to go DIY speakers, it seems a good entry point. Although I would like to see some other people do reviews of the assembled speaker, especially compared to the likes of RB42s.

The Zen Blue is just for Bluetooth, isn’t it? It’s not a streamer per se.

smsl just dropped the sd-9 streamer. not an awful price for what it seems to be capable of. especially considering the zen stream is the same price and this is obviously worlds better.

i2s!!! Jfc first streamer I’ve found under $2k with that. I must email Tim at Kitsune to see if this will work with the Holo Spring.

With the different i2s standards is there a way streamers set it up so you can cycle through different pin assignments?

Gizaudio reviewed Kinera Skuld. Sounds like it’s the lite version of Nanna with less subbass.

New musician r2r dac. I’m super curious about this for some reason. Looks like the Pegasus after they updated it and crammed into a smaller chassis.
