Very cool! I read the article(s) provided in the previous pages regarding ADEL and it is definitely super interesting.

Quick question, and I apologise if it is crass but my knowledge of the technology is fairly limited still, will it also be available for your universal models or just customs?

Does the adel module change the sound signature of things?

Yes it does, it createa an airy sense to the entire FR, expands soundstage in all directions and creates a more natrual sound, everybody be patient about the demos-I want Jack & team to take their sweet time and get it perfect, everything is probably going to have to be re-tuned to accomodate ADEL. Also chomping at the bit myself as well. That Zeus-R tho or should I say Zeus-A(del).

I'm guessing both custom and universal, judging from 64 Audio's use of the technology.

Just received my trial Zeus 14 and Zeus R (switch control) damn right!

Give me 3 hours and I'll come with impressions for first day, on Tuesday I'll write an in depth review comparing it out of Daps and a few dac/amp combos. Also the 14th vs the R version differences ect.

Coming from the U12 you might like the original Zeus more than the R.

Thank you, that's good news because I may not be able to get customs impressions done due to where I live.

How would you compare the two to the u12's? I just got some u6's, and while I like them, coming from ety er4's, they're almost too "mellow" in the top end. I love the depth and power of the bass. Just wish they had some more treble. And from what I've read I was thinking of going with the zues-r, if the funds allowed. I may end up with the Spartans. They are definitely in my price range and I do tend to lean towards neutral. But good bass is nice too. :wink:

i really hope refit is a possibility for us zeus owners as that new tech is really a must have for me, for me any tech that preserves hearing is a must have

Once I got used to the lack of pressure that ADEL creates, it's impossible for me to enjoy a sealed pressured iem.

Would also like some comparisons as well, zeus-r is at the top of my list.
