  wait what?!? you can engrave custom logos onto wood too!?! Not just limited to EE or XIV?
 
 

 
 
So many ideas unlocked
 

 
Yes sir! Some engravings show up better than others (depends on the wood) so we definitely recommend consulting with us first to see if we can make it happen!

Today I've embarked on a tremendously gratifying journey:​

 

Zeus & EQ​

 ​

​

The beautifully symbolic flight of the Wright brothers around the Statue of Liberty in 1909​

 ​

 
 
Can't believe that this is the same Zeus I've had for more than a week. It feels like I got a brand new ciem.
 
The Sony ZX2 has limited EQ possibilities. Only 5 bands.  400 Hz  /  1K Hz  /  2.5K Hz  /  6K Hz  /  16K Hz              +10/-10 steps range, and the Clearboost Bass bar
Recap of my impressions of the Zeus XIV: I'm basically not fond of the full mids and midforward signature with too much polite treble which is a shame since I love how the drum kits sound; the sub bass' great, bass as well; all the volume effects are superbly presented; the detailed textures of the instruments give a joy to envision which is made effortless by how easy each are separated.
 
So my EQ plan for today was this:
400 Hz (+0)  /  1K Hz  (-1)  /  2.5K Hz (-1)  /  6K Hz (+7)  /   16K Hz  (+8)        Clearboost +0
Results: no more mid frontal assault, everything is evenly presented in tremendous detail. I finally get to bathe in the pleasure of the exquisite cymbal rolls and crashes.
 
It's the first time I experienced more joy listening to Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet than on my father's budget hi-fi room setup (B&W speakers, Marantz cd player, NAD amp).
 
When I played Koan Sound (neurofunk/glitch hop/drum & bass), I never got any sense of lack of speed, it was fantastic. I used their EP Forgotten Myths as a testing material at CanJam London with all the TOTL iems there. I wasn't amazed by anything in particular there, and am now glad I didn't spend a dime.
 
Now I'll fine tune this in the coming days, so I can get the most emphasis out of the treble in a long prolonged session without getting fatigue.
 
I'm very much impatient now about getting the DP-X1 for its PMEQ on top of its black low noise floor and lose myself in endless experimenting!
 
I keep coming back to how the Zeus materializes the volume of space around where the sounds come from. I'm impressed by it. The Zeus is a keeper

Anyone else excited to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens?​

 

​

 ​

Wow, that's purdy!  Great job, Jack!  Is that "black chrome" on the shells?

The wood/gold/Jupiter one looks rather, "Prestigious" won't you say?

If the ZX2's modest EQ is able to do just that, the superb EQ found on the DP-X1 will do greater wonders. With an IEM like the Zeus, I think it scales very well with both sources and EQ tweaks.

We don't mention it publicly much but none of our in-ear monitors utilize resistors, dampers, or filters to manipulate the frequencies. Zeus bends to your will and exacting preferences when needed via EQ (not all IEMs are EQ friendly). Musicians, engineers, and producers are having a total blast with the Olympus series right now, specifically Zeus and Apollo. During the development of Zeus we spent some quality time with several friends in the industry, notably Grammy Award winning artist and group Cory Henry and Snarky Puppy to pinpoint the exacting position of each instrument, mic, and vocalist (and trust me there are a TON in their recording sessions). We wanted to have laser precision accuracy with colossal amounts of detail while keeping our own flavor on tonality.
 
There's a lot of magic to be discovered in our IEMs and I hope that audiophiles will come to love the Olympians as much as the pro industry. We have some things in mind to take full advantage of our designs but it's going to take some time. I will however hint that it'll be planned for both Apple and Android platforms. 
 
BTW if there are any musicians on here we will be at the NAMM 2016 show in Anaheim, California! Last year there were more than 100,000 attendees from 100 different countries! We also have a few extra passes to share so if anyone wants to go just send me a PM! If not then I guess i'll see several of you at SoCal CanJam! =)

Cowon daps are know for their great EQ's, and I can confirm the match with Zeus' flexibility is one made in heaven!

Here we go.. Apollo is in my office for a review.. 

 

[flinkenick]

That took forever buddy, but I am eagerly awaiting your impressions.

Yeah man, it went to Canada first, then got back to US and finally came to me. But it is not Jack's fault. USPS issue.. It was in a world tour. 
 
 

 

 

 

[SomeWiseGuy]

I guess you must have waited for it (im)patiently.

USPS postal workers should at least post impressions or write a review then
