Hi everyone! We'll have 10 ETHER 2s at the show. Check them out in our booth 64.65, our quiet(er) room 538, and at Chord Audio, Ampsandsound, WooAudio, and others. And the price is lower than I think people expected, $1,999.99.
The doors are preparing to open on 3 days of CanJam @ RMAF, and the impressions thread is now live. Stop by the thread and click “subscribe” to follow the excitement.
How many looks would I get if I brought my laptop with me to try headphones out with my portable setup? It's simply a dragonfly dac/amp connected via usb to my laptop which is a thin 16 in. I'm more of an IEM guy so will be focused on those booths.

It's not terribly uncommon for folks to whip out their own Daps, laptops a little more uncommon.
I would say just be cognizant of your surroundings. If the booth is super busy probably not the best to to ask if you can use your laptop. If it is slower and made a spot open, ask away.
At 4:15 p.m. to 5:15 p.m., in the Marriott Aspen Amphitheater, Lobby Level, there is a panel discussion titled:
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) In Headphones: Stigma or Solution?
With technology advancing at a relentless pace, acoustic pioneers are now incorporating innovative DSP methods in their quest to offer us greater fidelity — and more. This begs the question: Can DSP improve the listening experience for dyed-in-the-wool audio purists? Join these industry leaders to discuss how DSP is reshaping the audio of the future.
The panelists are Mark Cohen (Audeze), Greg Stidsen (NAD and PSB), and Dan Wiggins (Periodic Audio).

I might be bringing my own laptop, and possibly even my desktop amp setup with a portable power supply. I don't care how a headphone sounds on the vendor's $2000 dac/amp combo, I care how it sounds on the sources I'll be using! Just be mindful of your fellow convention-go'ers, and don't spend a truckload of time setting up gear when there's a long line for a piece of kit.

Hey y'all, I'll be there at open tomorrow morning! Missed online ticketing, but I figure day 2 shouldn't be too hard to manage registration. Looking forward to meeting some head-fi-ers.
Unfortunately, our friend Paul Barton (PSB) won’t be joining us for for today’s 2018 Headphone AMA seminar. He’s been feeling a bit under the weather and couldn’t make it to RMAF this year. Please join me in wishing him well.
Filling in for him will be a special treat! Join us as Schiit’s Jason Stoddard AND Mike Moffat both take the dais, in what is sure to be a fantastic time this afternoon!
As a reminder, the 2018 Headphone AMA (Ask Me Anything) will be at 5:00p in the Aspen Amphitheater - and will feature:
Dan Clark (MrSpeakers)
Nicolas Debard (Focal)
