Rumors and new releases thread

Not sure if there’s any Cayin n6iii users here, but the next motherboard looks excellent. Tubes plus one of cirrus logic’s new chips.

That is beautiful.

Has the KT02H20 chip so should work the fiio PEQ web app. Possibly the cheapest dongle with this chip and PEQ capabilities.

Absurd price of it’s anything less than flawlessly tuned and I have a really strong feeling it’s tuned like total dogshit.

For a company who’s never been in the HP game, this is a bold move.

I think UM are going down the “Reassuringly expensive” marketing route with this :man_shrugging:

The ol’ classic strategy of keeping it expensive and exclusive/limited so nobody can ever get a chance to hear it and try to keep the illusion of greatness alive. I’d love to be wrong about them but I just have no faith in any semblance of normal tuning and even if it is, I feel like the whole headphone is a phase wonkyness nightmare waiting to happen.

Ive seen passive radiators for low end, but this looks like passive drivers for air/upper treble? Not much is explained beyond what frequencies it handles. Skeptical, but slightly interested. Did Tanchjim develop the BA’s or are these just ‘custom BAs?’ The shells look decent and more comfortable/ergonomic.

At least now i know why i got my M15i that “cheap”, ordered it ~2 weeks ago and am waiting for delivery

For anybody interested if you order from https://questyleshop.com/ it will come down to 159 USD once you have put it in the cart.

Duties and taxes are included in the price which makes it an attractive offer

I don´t expect the new version to be any “better” but have to admit that purple one looks dope!

These seem kinda cool imo. The two different colors have two different styles of sound profiles from what the marketing suggests. Pretty cool if you ask me.
