First Germany / Europe listing I found. 474€ 
Hope the open baffle doesn’t result in a crazy roll off like in the MA900
I understand the MV1 will not be THAT open but still.
For those who bought the topping Electrostatic Headphone Amplifier yesterday. Dan Clark got you covered with a new headphone.
…u trying to tempt me? 
Already had them in the shopping cart twice and went through the buying process but didn’t do the last click. Question is how big would the loss be when I buy them and don’t like them (enough to keep them). Would have to buy a balanced cable from aliexpress too.
Maybe you can get a review unit? Or use Rikubuds Money 
How far is Gen3? Still need some money left for the Grand Rider 3 when it comes out.
I would wait for someone (crin) to graph it first at least.
They never send units afaik.
Will see, need that graph first.
Alpha almost done (hopefully after my next shell iteration which is being printed atm). Then BETA will be much faster.
just a heads up that the Headphone Bar shared iFi prices are going up again. the notice didn’t say when or by how much, but thought I would put it out there if anyone has plans to buy something of theirs. do it quick!
The Audeze MM-100 will retail for $399
Speaking of Gen 3. Do you have a projected price for the first pair? I’d love to be an early adopter of a Gen 3 Riku Bud.
If you mean early bird discount, no I do not plan to have any. If you meant price in general, I have no clue right now, but it wont be cheaper than gen 2 at least.
Definitely don’t mean early bird but more of a general price point. I’ll be patient in seeing the release, brother!
For those looking for crazy power in SE, Burson released the Soloist 3 GT. It has only SE 1/4" output with 10W PCH. Orderings on April get some stuff with it (Supercharger and stand options). Oh, and it is Gold in color.
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.
