It was good to catch up with Jude and see the show in Shanghai. I didn't hear everything but I did listen to the Rupert Neve Fidelice DAC. Amazing that Neve is still working at age 92. I really enjoyed the Crosszone CZ-1 I heard at the event. Also out of my price range but really amazing...

Just found out about the show now (Sunday) and will try to stop by in the afternoon. Is there a meetup Sunday planned? Would love to meet other Shanghai headfiers.

I haven't looked over the whole thread recently but does anyone know if there is a 100-240V power source for the O2? I have the 100V one, but now live in a 220V country, and travel sometimes to the US, where mains is 120V. I'd pay for a larger power source if it could work globally.

Thanks for the report! Sad to have missed it again. I see one of the HK-based members was able to make it, which is good.

Ack! I can't be away from home that long. Will have to miss it :(

When is the event? I'm going to be in town from Thursday 9/29 for 2+ weeks (with a few days away)

Thanks Currawong! Great photos and review. Now that I'm not in Tokyo, I'll have to enjoy the events virtually.

Thanks for the photos! Once you are not in Tokyo, you miss it a lot.

Cool- makes sense they would try to build their core demo beyond just Tokyo and Osaka.

2015 and Kaplan is writing the same article... I, Audiophile

How did you like the AlphaDogs? I wonder how different the two are...

How about the new Sony MDR-Z7?

Interested but would like to hear before I purchase...

Sadly didnt make it today and booked up tomorrow. Have fun everyone! Tokyo HFers, lets try to meet up on a non-event weekend?

Long time no HeadFi (for me.) I hope to make it that weekend. One day I have a relative's wedding to attend so I'll have to go the other day :)

What do you guys think? http://s.kakaku.com/kaden/headphones/ranking_2046/rating/

Sad to have missed it but glad that it was a great event for everyone who went!

Neil Young will be sad.   http://www.macrumors.com/2014/05/13/hd-audio-ios-8-new-in-ear-headphones-lightning/

Sounds like no one was interested in a casual meet today so I'm not going to trek out to Akiba in the rain.

  Search for Disc Union. They have stores in Shibuya and Shinjuku and elsewhere.

Thanks N, U2 :)

  I think I could do a quick meet at e-earphone at say 4:30. I can't do dinner unfortunately.

I can't go because of a wedding on Saturday :(   Not sure about Sunday but not looking good...

I am thinking about selling off my micro4/3 stuff and getting that Sony RX10 for the video. I love that it has a great lens, 3 EV ND filter built in, optical IS, and external audio options (even XLR!) Doing all of that on my GH2 is such a hassle that I never do it...
