Thank you, I was going back and forth between my skull candies and my A12's, there were sounds that the skull candies didn't even pick up. I am amazed, I just heard something I've never heard before on my favorite album(it is expertly produced and mastered): Xanthochroid - Blessed He With Boils. Hold on while I pick my jaw up off the floor.
you will need to seriously consider moving on to a dedicated DAP, your jaw will drop a second time!
Apparently they say it's going to be the same as the a12. this should have been a free / low cost upgrade for the people who ordered the u8. I'm really sad at how they have handled this. *pouts like a little kid* it's just not fair the other people get a 1599 product for 500 and we will have to put 958. I guess I should have ordered the ones that got the free upgrade. Anyone have a time machine.
Really mate - spare a thought for 1964Ears here. My understanding is that the reason that they can't do the Ambients now is because of the Patent claims brought about by JHAudio. So they're doing a really honourable thing by upgrading the unfortunate KS backers who (through no fault of their own) would have missed out because of the patent action.
In your own case - you are still getting exactly what you originally paid for - and you were happy at the time you paid. What has changed?
The only one missing out here (added cost) is 1964Ears.
You should be applauding them - not dissing them/bemoaning what they've done IMO.
It's not an easy choice for me. If I upgrade from the U8 to the U12, I'm also going to be hit with import tax (Australia). Just the upgrade cost itself will be higher than the U8...
It's tempting to upgrade. Those prices won't come around again. I'm also debating, but gotta a find a way to convince my wife. For her spending $100+ on headphones is ridiculous and I recently got another pier of IEMs. Being on these message boards is disastrous for my wallet. You people tease too much with these IEMS, its so hard to say no.
