The second part of my HifiDeluxe Munich 2017 impressions is now online, at the bottom of page 2 of this thread.

You're welcome! Yeah, the Alsyvox speakers are special and a different beast than the new Quad electrostats I will write about in my second part. There's still a bunch of rooms left to describe and I will likely post the second part later today.

May be I missed something but I cant find your report on the Quad electrostats ?

By chance somebody heard the Soekris 1541 R2R Sign Magnitude DAC?

Respectfully I must say that I dare to smile when I read JPS Labs writing about DIANA: "We had many many listeners tell us best headphone sound at the show."

Some more pictures (most pictures came out very blurry, unfortunately):
AR M200:

I did not mention the M200, because the U.I. was still very rudimentary. But it supports 3.5 TRS and 4.4 TRRS connections. Sound was also really good.


RME ADI-2 Pro:
The ADI-2 Pro was along with the Ultrasone Pro9, and they made all the difference to the Pro9s. Very cool looking.


Fitear Aya:



Audeze iSine 10:

You are right the AR-M200 does sound really good, though I do hope they improve the UI before release. It's very utilitarian in design and focus is all about the sound.

I just received the AR-H1 and the build quality is very nice indeed. The highs do seem to be a little on the edgy side but I've not had much listening time yet so take this with a grain of salt.
