It is 10w/channel on XLR. The headphone out is “only” 5W/channel.
You’re right, I stand corrected then
iFi Audio GO pod…
Wait, you MUST purchase an IEM with them? That’s… strange.
If you can only get them paired up with the IEMs that’s a hard pass
So far yes - I guess they’re trying to mask the price? Going by the U4S and Meteor - the GO pod is $200.
Yeah it looks like that is the prelim offer. I’m tempted by these as I love my utws3 but if $200 is the price it’s not much of a deal to get the pair so I’m wondering if the price will be close to $300 standalone
They also recently updated the internals of the Soloist GT models with lower noise caps and a few other things in a silent revision they outlined in an email.
Apple Music has a new feature that singles out classical tracks for easy access.
They had me interested until the part listing the different IEMs they pair it with… Then came the price… Holy fuck! $800 at the low end?
Hopefully they will also do them without the paired offerings because even if I was looking for a TWS solution (I’m not) I have absolutely no interest in the sets they’ve paired them with…so and I’m guess here they’ve removed 99% of their possible market
The fact that it has LDAC and LHDC hes my interest, not to mention how well ifi’s products generally seem to perform. I’d be interested in picking a pair up as to not have to worry about buying tws IEMs and just being able to use this in cases where a wire would be that inconvenient or in the way. I’d probably consider $200 stand alone. Too much more, and I’ll start questioning if it’s even worth it.
There’s a few of these TWS style adapters for IEM’s, it seems that one is a promotional so I bet they’ll release a standalone unit as it only makes sense. The only issue I’ve had with these are the bulk, the UTWS3 was massive in the pocket. These look like they could even be bulkier, or at least the renders look pretty big I’ll have to see what they actually look like in hand.
Agreed, though as I’m a bit used to carrying a 20Ahr battery bank (Trust me when I say they aren’t small), in used to having something bulky. The UTWS5 is the same way.
Looks like (only ) the first 1,000 are to come pre-paired with those IEMs:
Might be a bit of a wait …
1000 unit’s they say…Reckon It’s gonna be a long, long time before we see any of the standalone product for sale then?
Can hold out hope that when they say produced, they don’t necessarily mean sold to consumers
