LOL you were close
So pretty much yup
So much for being a loyal wave supporter and purchasing multiple units early!
Seriously unhappy about upgrades and now this.

Yeah, I don't think the IEM package is all that necessary on the base model....It already has lower output. On the X and XD models it may be more of a concern though.
Either:
1) this is an unnecessary "upgrade" in the first place that try to milk supporter to pay more than they intended or need to.
Or:
2) it is a legitimate "upgrade" that really enable it to work with IEM but should have been the case from day one when one back for a, what is that again, oh the "No-compromise Portable Music Player"
So, either the backers are suckers to pay $128 more than they should, or they are suckers who got bait and switched from $169 or $299 or whatever to the thing they should get for $128 more.
So, which is the case? I just see in ANY case this is a "sucker's perk", more so than any of the others.
If you haven't yet selected the iem perk, do you qualify for the gain switch if they hit $1 million?
Ok, so I will play along with that... But since it is indeed offered and even recommended for all levels, that would mean....

To be honest, the only game your are, to paraphrase, "willing to play" seems to be that of troll. I won't feed you, sorry. I usually refrain from negative posts...I made an exception.
I mean seriously, what is the point of even joining a forum like this? Just go to amazon or fleabay and buy the cheapest possible device.

I responded directly to your quote...
I bought the AK240 after having read about it extensively from user feedback and having tried one myself. Not an option with the Geek Wave.
I did not want to spend that kind of money on a DAP but it really is the best sounding unit out there so i made the choice after audition and lots of thought. "Milked" is totally inappropriate.
You can report me for trolling if you truly think so! But do share whether you think if the IEM perk is needed for each of the wave models.if they all need it, it proves something. If they don't all need it, it proves another thing.
I will let others to decide what they think of LH's giving an IEM "perk" for themselves. This does seriously affected my view of LH's sincerity and my trust for them. It also raise questions for me to really think about how much of their other perks and claims I could/should trust.
Anyone can form your own opinion
Haters gonna hate...you win.
Cheers
Not interested in "winning" or "losing" or argue.
I started genuinely trying to understand when the IEM perks came out, do I need it.
For wave32/64 it's just 160mW.. Maybe I don't need it? But then I do own sensitive IEMs like tg334 or jh13 and have had highly regarded dac/amp hissed with them.... But it's JUST 160mW.... But LH won't put this out if there isn't a need... But just to be safe I should still probably get it... But it's 3/4 of the price of the wave32, and almost half of that of wave64.... But I don't want hiss.. But it's expensive!... But I would be so pissed if people who didn't get the IEM perk don't have hissing with their jh or fitear... But would it be different for 128? X128? XD?.. yea probably as they recommended for XD.... But why give it to wave32/64 if it isn't needed?
But of course no one would know..... The more I thought about it, the worse I feel backing this project and the less this perk make any sense to me.
I had said I have no issue with features perks like wifi, Bluetooth, dock, source, etc. As we have a pretty good idea if we need or want it or not. Less so for THD, DAD, and really What for me with the IEM.
