Did my new DAC just become obsolete? :man_facepalming:

Probably not, if it’s a tier above what’s currently aval, that would be more of a signature upgrade/replacement. I’d assume later on you might see a new base model with trickle down from the top, but for now I think you are in the clear with where it’s positioned lol

Do want to try it, really liked my sig bal when I had it, would like to see what they can do further (and now I don’t even want a balanced version so it’s cheaper to try now lol)

This is my und3rstqnding. Its another option not a replacement

I mean they definitely do it better than anybody else I’ve experienced, but that doesn’t change the fact that all my cables are 2pin and i don’t want to use adapters :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

This looks promising, maybe an actually good sounding ANC wireless headphone.

Oh boy, I wonder what those are like considering how much I like the Lintons!

If they’re going for the same signature with it but more refined/capable then I’d be veeery interested

Also glad to hear you (and me too!) are still happy with the Lintons :beers:

Hello,
I don’t want to speak ill of it.
Unfortunately, Helmut Becker from Audiovalve fell ill last year and died in March.
Due to his illness, there were various problems in the company, and no one seems to be informed in any way about what will happen next.
As great as the amplifiers are, it’s better to ask how it looks before you buy it in this price range.
Because of supoort, repair and so on.

Otherwise, the assistant looks good and probably Helmut Becker’s last masterpiece.
I didn’t get the info personally and only heard about it myself through Headfi.
I was close to buying a Solaris at the time.

I thought there was another issue of AudioValve where people on headfi had returned their amps for service. Then the or A owner went through a divorce and all the company’s assets were frozen including people’s devices under repair. I think one guy had his Solaris there and still hasn’t received it back.

That should be considered theft!

Yes, I have read that too.
I don’t know the state of affairs at the moment either.
It also seems to be complicated to get someone on the phone.

I think it’s really shitty what’s going on.
Unfortunately, the people haven’t reported any more, so either they’re still working on it or they’ve written it off.

I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes.

apparently a limited edition of the d8000 pro is coming along, same tuning but with a different material used for the earpad and some kind of gold plating in the earcup that supposedly will change the sound.

here is a translation.

final announced the “D8000 Pro Limited Edition”, which is a limited version of the flagship plane magnetic field type headphones “D8000”, and the completely wireless earphone “ZE8000” (black and white are available).
The feature of “D8000 Pro Limited Edition” is that the inside of the ear cup is gold-plated and the ear pad is made of “Washi”. It is said that the basic tuning has not been changed, but there is a difference in sound quality due to the difference in the material of the ear pad, and the impression that it becomes a more relaxed and lively sound. “Since the material is Japanese paper, it will become more familiar to your ears and become more familiar as you use it,” he said.

I think in this translation the word “familiar” probably means comfortable.
