We're working on the portable version now, the site had a few fairly major issues we had to address, now that the core platform is hunky dory we'll be getting the rendering right on small format devices. Sometimes web rollouts just don't quite go to plan.



P.S. I guess the new clinking beer mugs are from a micro-brewery.

Yea, the beating a dead horse one is more like beating an ant...

Lovin' the Aeon so far. Very happy here. Good Job Dan!!!
Just put the foam insert in to see what happens...

I just bought a pair Aeon. Now i'm looking for amp/dac for it. My budget for that is under $500. Should i go with mojo, ifi bl, schiit stack like modi multibit and vali 2, or something else ? Any recommendations ?

Lyr 1 and NOS Tungsram ECC85

I own the Tunsgram ECC85 and if I recall, (it's been awhile since I had them in my Lyr), they are a little warm the lacking in detail in the Lyr. I like the 75' 6n23P SWGP tubes in my Lyr since they are very musical and detailed with both my Aeon and Alpha Prime. Highly recommended if you can track down a pair!

Thanks! I will add them to my Head Fi wish list

My vote is for Mojo. Fantastic synergy and very versatile setup!

From me, mojo for smartphones/tablets, micro idsd bl for tablets/laptops, and schiit jotunheim with balanced DAC for laptops/desktops or with phono pre-amp for turntables and get a audioquest dragonfly red to connect between your laptop/desktop and jot with phono pre-amp.

I just ordered vali 2 and modi multibit. I like them because it's small, not like jotunheim. So they won't get my gf attention lolz.

Hah! In audio retail they used to talk about "Wife acceptance factor" for loudspeakers, as in "do they fill the entire living room?" Vali vs Johtenheim takes that to a whole new "micro dimension..."

Whelp just compared these to the new Hifiman Susvara and other than the last bit of air and soundstage these compare very well. especially since headphone soundstage hasn't mattered to me since I've used the OOYH program. I feel like I like these more than the he1000s.
(Type of music used was the La la land soundtrack, due to limited selection, for the a-b with aeon and susvara)

Aeons sounding really good listening to Frank Zappa Hot Rats. Still going between inserts and non inserts.

Wow that's some claim! I adore my HE1000 and am considering the Aeon as a closed back compliment. If I feel they're anywhere close to the hifimans I'll be thrilled!

I have the HEKv2 and the Aeons, and while the HEKv2 take it for me, the gap isn't huge, especially given the price difference.

I've been using it with the Mojo and it's been great. The soundstage has been an upgrade coming from the EL-8 closed back.

If there's anyone who'd be willing to sell their used Aeon and travel case, and ship them to Poland for 700 USD or the EUR, or GBP equivalent please send me a PM.
