Nazar from S-Audio finally produced a device with a balanced output, but it is no amp, it's a DAC — FIRDAC Mini. It is the best DAC I ever had. Just another plane in terms of authenticity, sounds separation, stage, and ability to evoke emotional response from the listener. Listening to it for...

My headphones from Maxim Kryvonos got tested against Audeze and HIFIMAN. Sorry, it's in Ukrainian only, but modern-day machine translation allows reading in any language... MM-500 vs Arya Stealth vs Final Carbon Mk3.1 (Bionic precursor)

I will call Nazar and ask to reply you. He's been very busy recently due to personal reasons and war related issues.

I never used portable players as transport with any of my Focuses, sorry. I had been using Audirvana on my PC for a few years but last December I moved to use BeagleBone Black as a transport and I'm happy ever since.

I'm my books, it sounded properly powered but I never listened to them with powerful amps so not able to judge. And, truth be told, it was so long ago, three Focuses earlier)

Sorry, lost you there...

Sorry, I never had HE500 as mine, just borrowed for some time couple of years ago. I'm glad you like Focus 3, and I'm sure you will enjoy Focus 4 big time when you get a chance to hear it.

Yes, it was enough for me. BTW, the new Focus 4 is even more powerful, and it features unique digital filters of Focus 3 with upgraded analog output and power. The sound it produces is one of the most realistic I've ever heard. The speed and sound separation levels of this DAC are making...

Here it is: http://s-audio.systems/focus/?setlang=en

Let me check that out, and I'll report on its status.

And once more

Meanwhile, there is a new version Focus 3 which is a major improvement over the previous ones. It has an A-Class headamp now, new custom-made digital filters, and updated binaural mode which introduces fewer changes to the frequency characteristics while retaining its "magic" holographic and...

My beloved Final Carbon Mk3.1 (has the same membrane as Bionics) + S-Audio Focus 3.

As to the FOCUS, I have installed new connectors on my mains cable (Zu Audio Event) and it opened new horizons for me. I've been in a positive shock ever since)

Nope, information only on forums and in chats or directly from him. Hardcore DIY)

The maker of my headphones, Maxim Kryvonos, is working on new IEMs, yes. But it has no relation to the maker of FOCUS and, therefore, to the binaural functions as well. Any headphones can be used with FOCUS's binaural mode.

Sorry, he has no website and the only information is on Russian-language forums or chats in Telegram. But I can update you when his new model is finally out for sale. It is a hybrid with one AMT driver and one dynamic driver. I've listened to one of the beta versions and it sounds really great...

Sorry, I misunderstood him. He meant he will contact you as soon as he gets it. The postage is hugely delayed for more than 1.5 months because he forgot to order by DHL. Regular Ukrainian post is very slow under quarantine conditions :(

OK, I just talked to him. He will register here soon and will send you PM.

Sorry, I have not tried any other binaural or crossfeed solutions. As to the Norway, I know a guy in Trondheim who's waiting for his Focus 2 now. I can give you his contacts if you're interested.

Yeah, my son is 2.5 years old now and a big Peppa fan and hard into puzzles.)

Focus 1 cost was 800 USD, Focus 2 cost is 456 USD. The binaural processor in Focus 1 was more pronounced but it made more changes to the sound (frequency characteristics). Binaural in Focus 2 is less pronounced but has no influence on the frequency characteristics and is more popular among the...

I have a Focus 2 now, and I am a happy camper. It is twice as cheap and, IMHO, twice as better soundwise. Here's its official page: http://s-audio.systems/focus/?lang=en

I have sold my Focus 1 to a guy in Finland. If you want, I can contact him and ask if he is OK if I give you his email to you in a private message. But you should know that Focus 1 is out of production since November 2019.
