New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne" | Page 175 | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org

I doubt acrylic is much over 2 months. Probably a month more for CF and with the price change, likely to catch up once current orders are filled. They've been slammed in the past when smaller and that's been the case.

Really, I got a quote for 5-6 weeks for CF a week back but I'm not going that route anymore.

I got told roughly the same. This is a copy paste from an email I got on December 10th: Current lead-time is approx 6 weeks after receipt of impressions.

That sounds closer to right.

FYI, recently I asked JH Audio this question:

Will you have as an upgrade a BALANCED version of the Roxane to use with balanced Amps ?

and got this answer from Jerry:

Yes,

It is really easy for the Roxanne. All 8 conductors terminate to the 3.5mm plug.

Jerry

interesting....

I suppose you can just re-terminate the stock cable with a balanced-connector and you can use Roxanne with a balanced amp.

No you cannot. The cable has the cross over in the bass adjustment module. . So you cannot cause the the amp plug has only three wires. Not 4 .

Hmnn.. I thought the bass adjustment control in the wire is just a potentiometer connected to the bass wire to the phone and the crossover is still inside the monitors.

ALRAINBOW · Jan 13, 2014 at 8:33 PM

As of right now only jh audio knows whats in there but . In order to do a balance cable you need 4 wires from amp plug to the bass control as the wires must be in two pairs and separate from each pairs. Meaning no common wire. Sorry i know all the talk here is convoluted but this is true. Now why jerry did not run 4 wires from bass mod to amp plug only he knows why. If the cross over is in the iem then why 8 wires . The whole thing just makes no sense.

When I demoed the Roxanne, and if my memory is correct the cable thickness is the same before and after the bass control module. So I am guessing there are 4 wires running through each channel going to the 3.5mm pin.

Anyone who already has Roxanne can confirm this?

Looking at Roxanne cable ... 8 wires from plug to bass module. Than 4 wires on each side from bass module to each driver ...

In that case, looks like each channel runs 3 wires which goes to each ports in the drive. The 4th pin for driver is the group. If this is correct, simply reterminating the 3.5mm plug to a balance connector would work

Does this help? This was done for the AK240 DAP at CES. That's definitely a balanced TRRS (but 2.5mm).

Yes. 8 wires total with 4 to each channel.

Cool, I'll try this myself and will use Roxanne in a balance setup.
