Hmm… Wonder which driver is hiding behind all that orange foam. I just made a major audio purchase otherwise this would be an instabuy.

Probably not the Porta pro, ksc75 or kph30i drivers since it is 32 ohms.


Not sure if mentioned yet but really interesting design by ddhifi the Janus will have both 2 pin and mmcx natively built in

So what happens if you are someone that likes to plug in all the holes? And play music from 2 different sources/cables.

I believe that is the situation that the word ‘cacophony’ was made for, LoL!

This might need a “not double-penetration friendly” warning. :eyes:

I was wondering the same thing as well. part of me thinks it would break it but part of me also wants to chain 2 different amps and a mmcx cable and 2 pin plug both in and press play

What are the odds this outperforms the Apple dongles? Is that possible?

pretty high. these chinese OEMS have made really decent dongles in the past I dont really see them failing

Everything probably could use that warning

Guys… am I crazy or was there an Astell&Kern announcement on Head-Fi saying that A&K will soon release a DAP that has an exchangeable AMP/DAC card feature?

It appears that it has been removed and I cannot find it anywhere.

Something’s off here.

Unique Melody has released their latest flagship, the “Mason Fabled Sound Special Edition”. Will be limited to only 20 units only for First batch. Comes with a eyewatering price tag of $5999.

Shit has been crazy enough I forgot to respond. I know the Aeon Open X has been out for a while, but not the Closed X

This should outperform the apple dongle easily. Nowadays there are many dongles which performs excellent for it’s price.

Bingo! That’s the one.
