Has apparently a Knowles Open back super-tweeter.

As long as that reaches down to that 6-9k window then we’re cooking

Super-tweeters usually handle 10k+

Well Vulkan’s hot spot is 6-9k so the super tweeter won’t deal with that

Collab with DMS according to the reps at the booth unless I’m mistaken.

DMS has a collab as well but it is a hp iirc. Not this Dunu Mirai.

My bad, $1100 if I remember correctly.

I think the Dunu collab was good, but hard to say if 400 or 1100 good. The DMs was pretty meh. It was cozy and but seemed lacking in treble and resolution.

I’d definitely pay 300 for the DMs collab, but the hifiman edition xs exists. So it has to he special for me.

Yeah price has been confirmed.

uh, not really. You can bypass the usual android limitation of audio by using an app like UAPP, Poweramp or Neutron and get bit perfect audio. Of course, what this means is that it is only applicable to local music. If you are streaming then you cant use those apps of course and thus this new feature will help, but then again, streaming and bit perfect doesnt exactly go hand in hand…

now there’s a phone where it’s native and no rigamaroll required. :slight_smile:
