Yes, they haven't exactly been forthcoming with details about timing and release.

AH D600

Price $499.99

I realy like to know if this model ( D600) is better than D5000.

This model is so ugly =( . 

But D7100 is beautiful.

One video D600, I do not know if you saw.

TBH they dont look that bad.... Could be better but both the D600 and D7100 are alright IMO... The other models such as the urban raver look horrible though. I did prefer the older ones though but the new ones arent too bad.

When is the release date on these I really need to try them

I have to say, I DO want to try some of these even more now!!

They need to hurry I am waiting to see if I should swap my HD650 for some AHD600

When is the release date for these?

August 3rd according to Crutchfield...

Is that all models? Including the AHD-600?

Why not?

I am excited about the new Denon line, but my concern with the AH-D600 is that Denon is touting its "flat EQ".  If it is truly flat, I wouldn't want them.

I'm having the same worry, but mirrored.

While I like having a flat EQ, I don't want it to be completely analytical. I also don't want the D400's to be bass-monsters with no other strengths, considering they're advertising them as having amazing bass, not advertising much else.

It sounds like the D400 is only a bass monster with the amp on.  Unfortunately, they are 64 ohm, so they will likely need some type of amp to sound their best if not using the built-in amp or if battery dies.  Also, since the D400 is $100 less than the D600 and includes all the electronic bells and whistles, I'm thinking they cut corners on the drivers in the D400 compared to the D600.  In the video for the D400, there is no mention of the "free form" driver that is included in the Music Maniac line.  I am also not ruling out the in-ear Urban Ravers that are unamped, seem to have some new technology for extra clean bass and, one of my favorite features, a special design for a secure fit and seal.

The delays on the M-100 release are more than irritating at this point (from July 4th weekend to later in July to August 8th to.........) and Denon seems to have a set release plan, already with flagship pictures here and lots of online info available from the manufacturer on their entire line- specs, detailed descriptions, pictures and video (more action, less talk).  I have heard possible release dates of August 3rd thrown around, but I would consider any time in August reasonable based on how they have carefully (and considerately) disseminated information.
