Rumors and new releases thread

Fun fact: These preview link card things are actually fun internet widgets referred to as “Opengraph metadata”. As Maze said, they need to be supported on the website you’re linking for it to work.

You can check if a site supports it over at: https://www.opengraph.xyz
More info about the protocols here: https://ogp.me

Just in case anyone was wondering.

Perhaps I’m blind, but is that a rendering of the headphone that’s supposed to ship out in basically a few months? And they are already taking pre orders? On a site with likely no buyer protection policy? From a guy that’s just taken money and ran before? I am slightly concerned for those who gave their money already, hopefully there are no problems for them lol. Also wow that marketing/flavor text is pretty over the top

it really does just look like a render…

Well, he is reputable and comes from England.
The ones he sells are popular in Europe and are supposed to be good according to some reports.
I struggle more with the idea of dynamic and planar drivers.
I wonder if it’s really good, if so how good.
It would definitely have an advantage with the bass range of the dynamic driver, and the mid and treble range with the planar driver.
I could like the idea.
But if it’s a mix of both, it might be difficult, because I don’t understand how both drivers would work on the music at the same time.

Concept and idea seems not bad.
Depends on the implementation in the end.
Everybody started small that way.

What is a rendering,for you?Can you explain for me please?

:thinking: Bob and Trinity ring any bells?

I’ve only tried his EDP (Every Day Planar). I bought it second hand, so even if the company is sketchy, I didn’t have to support them. That being said there was an issue with the 2-pin socket being loose at least on one side, and I sent them to England and back and experienced great support. He was very personable and it didn’t matter that I wasn’t the original owner or anything.

That being said, if he was directly responsible for vanishing with all the backers’ money, that’s deplorable and I can’t justify myself to buy new from IMR (supporting them) as it really sounds like that’s what happened.

Hmm yes okay.
That really doesn’t sound good.
In Germany there is a small community that actually only reports good things about the Iem’s and seems to be satisfied.
Also with the support.

They probably didn’t even notice that.

What do you mean by the headphones being rendered? From the sound point of view or otherwise?

The image of the headphones looks like a computer drawing and not a real picture, possible red flag that they don’t have real headphones, or prototypes, and are bait and switch with just a CAD render.

Oh, OK, now I understand.
Yes, a picture of how it looks in real life would certainly have been helpful.

It looks like it might be made in China at least the roughest part probably.

Was announced at around 44k euro, 50k usd, no options unlike other lampi dacs, comes fully loaded off the bat. Glad it was lower than I suspected although still a jump from their other designs for sure. Cool that they accept trade in’s of their older gear at full msrp value, will make it more feasible to swing lol
