Very nicely done. Bravo! Thank You.   Now, how about a Senn/BD comparo?  when you are up to it of course.

FYI, less than 6 hours left on the Geek Wave indiegogo campaign, including a new Carbon Fiber or Titanium back plus 1000mW power upgrade.

Well stated.

FYI:   Their has been talk of a new update coming shortly, we shall see.

Sauntere,   Thank you for taking the time to share your opinions, definitely have added your recommendation to the list.   Cheers 

Really?  meh, yes some concerns are warranted. The hypocrisy in calling the Wave a "milking" device form one who purchased a $2500 DAP is undeniable, I think the extreme bias here may be for your mate, whom I have shared a few PM's with and he provided sound(duck...pun) advice.  I do have my own...

alright, alright...chillax, :)  I see your dilemma, personally I would get the IEM perk if you are concerned about hiss, because, once the campaign hits $999,999 you will also get a gain switch.  Yes, this is of less importance on the 160mW models, but it does give you a little added flexibility...

Sauntere,   Off topic, how do you like your Noble N4's?  Ive been seriously looking at the Noble line up.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.  Your "one thing proves another" hypothesis is not well formed as a logic argument and proves nothing.  The IEM perk simply gives one the finer volume control and a few other benefits as well, such as lower noise floor.  It is possible to read the story...

It appears we have yet again had a communication break down.  I asked that you read the quote that I was responding to concerning the IEM troll game that kkcc is trying to play.  You defended him but for a separate issue, "make my way through the maze...."   "milked" inappropriate, so ripped...

Please read the quote I responded to.  you are bringing up an entirely different issue all together, I notice you own an AK240, a $2500 device.  I believe the Wave may be competitive at a fraction of the cost.  Who got "milked"?

To be honest, the only game your are, to paraphrase, "willing to play" seems to be that of troll.  I won't feed you, sorry.  I usually refrain from negative posts...I made an exception.   I mean seriously, what is the point of even joining a forum like this?  Just go to amazon or fleabay and...

On the payroll, I wish but no.  Because I have been in this campaign from the start and followed along in the geek forum actively as stated, I suppose I have an understanding of how things evolved.  I do see how it could be confusing if you have just stepped in to the campaign.  If you need some...

Yeah, I don't think the IEM package is all that necessary on the base model....It already has lower output.  On the X and XD models it may be more of a concern though.
