Have you heard more then the price?
Tried the wired version too but these specialy formed Xelento tips didn’t work for me.
First tests say the ANC is kind of okay but behind Sony and apple, no surprise I guess.
Hifigo has (ripped off?) these IEM neckband straps that Z showed a little while ago and in his current unboxing
in one of zeos’s vids he asked them to make some because the amazon ones have been out of stock forever
Guess hide & drink will be very happy that zeos was so kind and handed over their idea so China can copy even faster than usual.
if they weren’t already made in china anyways sure lol
Not yet but If it’s the same price or lower as Dioko and looks like a Kinera wowzers
Ok so Topping came out with an 8 channel DAC and I’ll be real, I talk a gang of shit about Topping but this is cool. If it was me, I’d use it in a 5.1.2 configuration and I bet it would absolutely smoke the DAC in most cheap receivers.

so… it’s a integrated amp with true 8 channel DAC inside?
Nope, should just be an 8 channel dac, no amp and probably just digital preamp function like the D90.
The outputs are just 1/4 inch TRS to save space like in some other products they make, you can’t connect a passive speaker directly as it’s just a dac
It may be a better DAC, but it’s still a component system and you are still required to feed it USB only. If you’ve got a HTPC everything you watch runs off of, that’s one thing. Anything else… Have fun, as you’re better off with a receiver or processor. This isn’t to mention lack of comparability with any formats like Dolby, SDDS, IMAX Enhanced (from what I have gathered, it’s used as a packaged aspect ratio/HDR/audio format all bundled into one), and DTS.
Open for Pre-Order, not much info yet.
