Hi Sotiri. I have sent you a pm.

Congrats Jason! This looks fantastic!

Fantastic news Ari! Looking forward to it!

A review. And a few pics :

The hype is real! It is brilliant on headphones. I mean properly jaw-dropping stuff. Transparency, imaging, speed, perfect weight; it lacks nothing. If your speakers don't demand massive power, those 25 watts punch well above their weight. Get in touch with Nxgen Audio. They are the local agents.

It was such fun spending the evening with the enthusiastic members of the Cape Town Hifi Club. Thanks to Chris, Jozua and Christo for organising the event and thanks to Andrew for hosting us in his wonderful listening room. Special thanks to Lance for partnering with us on the evening. His...

Congrats Drifter! They look fantastic. It was going to take something special to improve on your headphone kit and it looks like you’ve landed on the perfect choice! 👌 I clearly remember the first 2170 that I tried. What a mind bending experience! I could not comprehend how music could be made...

I think it was Tonga.

The RME adi 2 seems to be a popular choice. The higher end Bursons are fairly capable as well. Generally speaking, I?ve had better results with solid state amplifiers on this headphone.
