i have the RSM and im not sure how the RE400 sound but they should not even be close in sound, a 650 dollar CIEM to a 79 dollar IEM. I can tell you that the RSM is like nothing you have ever heard with a good source, they sound amazing.

A very BIG +1!!!

Not to muddy this up with the re400, but I have heard demo's that were over 10x the re400 price that I didn't care for.  Same for the Westone 30 and a Sony multi driver - didn't care for those.  It is not a money thing - it is a sound thing.  I don't doubt the RSM is totally awesome - that is why it is on my radar.  Just not a lot of comparisons out there.

I have/had a lot of IEMs and a few headphones so i do agree with what you said partly, but i will just about guarantee these would be about some of the best things you have heard. Also, a lot of IEMs and headphones are source dependent, some will sound great with one DAP while not so much with a different one.  I have a VERY strong connection admiration for my JVC 850s as well and they are half the price.

Ok - I give     JK     I have decided to drive a few hours to Nashville to hear these sometime in the next month or two, and try Hattie B's chicken.  I have some vacation days to burn anyhow.  I know the demo's won't be a perfect match, but I will get the picture. 
 
side topic - I'm leaning toward the new X5 - any reason to go for the AK jr?

i will get my Jr tomorrow so i will let you know how that sounds. I do like the sound of the RSMs with my Fiio X5 classic but i want to try ultra portable hence the Jr.
On another note Im lucky enough to live 10 minutes from the main office of Alclair where they are made and have meet the owners how are extremely nice. they jave the CKM5s for the same price as the RSMs if you like a lot of bass.

Well after a few days of ownership of the Jr. I can attest that these have amazing synergy; I would give it a thumb up for anyone wanting a great sounding DAP for these amazing RSMs!!!

Will Alclair be at RMAF 15?

With a new 8 Driver?!?!?!?

With a new 8 Driver?!?!?!?

 

I know for a fact that the 6 driver is done, or at least Mark had one done for himself and it was a final one. he tried it out with my DX90 and X5, he preferred the DX90, as I do to, and now my AK Jr.

Does Marc have universals for the 6, did you have a chance to try them? Jealous, well at least till next winter, of your proximity to Alclair.

Mark had a Custom one made for him, I don't want to speak for him but he said they would be both available sometime in August. Don't hold me to that as problems could arise, Im sure Tyler may know more. If you are asking how close Proximity wise, I am only 10 miles from Alclair so I've been there a few times. Great place with awesome owners!

 

[Wildcatsare1]

Yes, love dealing with Marc (or is it Mark) and Amy, great people! I am really looking forward to the 8!!!!

 

[tf1216]

As far as I know both new customs are not fully complete. The 6 is very close. I am going to beg Marc to allocate resources to finish the 8-driver on time for CanJam. Camping out at Alclair over the weekends is an idea until it's done
