No it'll mutate into an Appreciation thread. Then the MH1 crowd will show up to tell everyone that it's better and the Mikros guys will be telling everyone you can buy 200 of the ML's for the same price as an oppo:)

Guys there is no Oppo headphone, it's an illusion all you delusional folks are seeing in your head, sort of like the unicorn stuck in the back of your eyes after a trip like the hips from the 70's.

It will be called the "Oppo PM-1 release date announcement appreciation thread".

No it's fine.It's typical for big electronic companies. They really do not care much about small audiophile forums like this.
 
I suspect release has delayed to late summer.

I have to disagree here. This is a niche product (high-end, high-priced orthos) from a manufacturer that isn't known for its headphones. This is exactly the forum they should care about.

I contacted Oppo a few days ago and this is what they told me:

We anticipate the HA-1 and the PM-1 products to be released by the end of April, so you should expect some kind of announcement within the coming weeks.

We do not have a price yet, as we are still finalizing the internal and external design of these products. But they will be priced comfortably to reflect their build quality as well as market forces.

Yes. So they are still working on prototyping. Even if they done their homework at the end of the April, with shipping time and manufacturing time, we will be most likely able to buy the headphones around early June.
 
And that is if they actually finish developing headphones and amplifier by the end of April as planned.
