Anyone had the opportunity to try Q5s with Andros yet? Not a big DAP fan, was wondering if there are any DACAMPs that are worth considering.

I don't agree with calling this an andromeda, it should have it's own name, because it has a different sound. I feel like this was done to maximise on the andromedas popularity.

"Campfire Audio Milky Way" it is

It should've been black with a sprinkling of stars. Missed opportunity.

And they do 1000 units intentionally too...

Nah they should milk Andro's name for all it's worth, it's a for-profit business after all. Offer a clear shell and call it an Andro View. Add two more drivers and call it an Andro Titan. Keep the Andro train rollin' KB choo-choo.

Demoed the black/gold andromeda today, it is an andromeda with slightly more bass, makes the sound warmer but still airy. Soundstage remains the same. The nozzle is much longer which I think will benefit the fit although I have no problem with the regular andromeda. My impression is very rough since I didn't test it with my regular andros side by side, because the line of waiting is so long. But I think it is safe to say that the black one suits a wider variety of genres, a good choice for the one who considers the regular version slightly lacking in bass.

Love that black and gold look. Wish I had the budget for these I would 100 % pull the trigger.

By now, they should just change Campfire Audio to Andromeda Audio

I’m actually more interested in the crossover-less design, I wonder how they did that.

Empire Ears does like a million way crossovers.

I'm glad someone else finally mentioned it! Multi-BA with no X-Over.... anyone else doing it?

Edit: @crinacle informed me that KZ has a no x-over ba design. Im looking at their lineup trying to figure out which one though.

I thought the original Andromeda (including all variants) had no crossover either.......

 

[djn04]

Does anyone know if they'll be selling these through their authorized retailers in the US?

Campfire Audio Andromeda Gold Review & Measurements - Head-Fi TV

The Campfire Audio Andromeda Special Edition Gold could just as easily been given a completely new name, because it's both an Andromeda and something new. We gave it a look, listen, and we measured it.
