Good luck to DMS, can someone please advise what the drivers are?

I did tried this amp and Yamaha headphon combo see YH-5000SE thread for my limited impressions. what I can say, being the owner of a Yamaha A-S3000 integrated amp, is the A-S3000 headphone amp is superb for a non dedicated seperate. I suspect Yamaha know what they are doing with this new dac...

I tried the YH-5000SE with the Yamaha amp/dac HA-L7A at the Sydney hifi show for 15 minutes 28 April 2023. My initial impression, fortunately listening to music I am familiar with, very detailed smooth presentation. Very balanced across bass/mid/treble. I listened to Peg by Steely Dan and...

More like 50 years put it in your will for your great grandchildren.

= Good idea, unfortunately I’m unable to post this update as I’m not a Kickstarter backer. I preordered the A16 in July 2017. Comments are only available to backers.

Hi everyone especially those who are Kickstarter backers still waiting or preordered backers. I had an update from James Smyth I thought I’ll post it here for everyones benefit: email starts below this line: Thanks for getting in touch, It's nice to hear from you. Despite having taken...

WyldeBlue I hear you, obviously your personal situation warrants a speedy delivery over mine for sure. Like you I was prepared to wait, however my patience is wearing thin due to the continuing lack of any meaningful update.

Thank you for the update, doesn’t look very promising I’m going to request a refund. I have waited 5 years.

Im hoping a member might know if all the kickstar orders have been fulfilled yet? Do we know what number they are up to? I’m wondering will the Ukraine invasion give the Smyths have another excuse for delays. Any preorders been shipped yet?

I see your ALO Audio Studio 6 comes with the Valhalla Viking tube mod very nice too!

You can buy something even uglier and new with almost same name. Doubt its quality will ever match the Sony ’s quality.

As a pre-order customer it’s still surprising that no updates are forthcoming. They took our cash to build their business, I appreciate there have been some circumstances that are not Smyths fault, however their lack of customer care seems to be their trademark

Thanks everyone for your impressions, let’s hope everyone is also wishing for peace at this time

I have the MK2 and it’s better than the Renessance Mirus Signature Pro
