"Working perfectly with all your standard single-ended 3.5mm connectors, while allowing for a proper balanced connection through a special 5-pin 3.5mm to 4.4mm adapter.”
Oh the old iFi 3.5mm TTRS trick lol.

Yes, if I remember correctly hip DAC was like that as well.
TBH this is smart as hell, I am wondering why more manufacturers did not adapt that for space saving in their smallest players. A need of special adapter is some inconvenience though
Yeah my og iFi Nano BL had the same I thought it weird at the time and had to get a “balanced” 3.5mm TTRS cable for my then HD660’s…but it was pretty much either 3.5mm or 2.5mm balanced mobile wise, but now it’s mostly 4.4mm so having a 3.5mm TTRS to 4.4mm TTRS makes sense especially regarding dongles surface real estate.

Maxwell…as in the tape / CD / DVD media Maxwell?
I guess not, because of the extra W…
The above is the Maxell you are thinking of!

When I saw this yesterday, I was thinking, who would pay $300 for a Maxwell headphone? Their budget stuff that you can find at discount stores is garbage. I later realized that this is an Audeze product that that is simply the name of the product. Wouldn’t be my first choice for a product name.

My first thought is Maxwell House coffee, so unfortunately it’s a name that’s been through the wringer for being applied to garbage.

maybe Audeze will make a special / limited edition called the Covfefe and play off a bunch of things at the same time!

Holyy shit, that looks jaw-dropping! Gotta be the best-looking compact, buff, and premium-looking AMP/DAC/DAP I’ve seen.
I love the look, looks hella good!

I love how compact it is, I definitely see this in someone’s main setup.
I have appreciation for the big boys too, but there’s something about compact and buff audio equipment that is appealing to me.

Agreed. It looks sweet, but knowing the pricing on lotoo stuff probably 2 to 3k
