Thanks for the data point.

Theory: besides the theory that "a particular demo unit at Chicago" had a treble "glitch," maybe some people were expecting to hear the different drivers, and so they did? I'm not 100% sure Axel mentioned hearing it, but I do know he owns multi-driver speakers and IEMs, so a crossover shouldn't surprise him. Anyone who did hear it, I'd like to know which music tracks/what playtime on said track(s)?

Overall I'm still super stoked to hear it at RMAF. Mentions of "bigger soundstage" stokes the flames for me a bit

 
Just like the whole "treble glitch" thing, any analysis of the difference in sound between the drivers is going to get blown way out of proportion in this thread. Look, it's pretty smooth, but yes, you can tell the difference IMO. It is incredibly subtle, but there is a very mild grain to the lows and mids, whereas the treble is entirely grainless. I would say the level of grain is below that of a DT880 or maybe a K701/K7XX... It's entirely possible that this could be improved with a different cable, more burn-in or maybe a different equipment chain. YMMV, obviously. I'm sure many people won't even notice it. 
 
And yes, the soundstage is enormous!!

STAAAAAAAAP!!

I loved my AKGs, and soundstage excellence is one of the traits that get me all "hot and bothered." You're making me want something I can't hear or have!
I've gotta seek these out at RMAF.

My sassy gift doesn't seem to want to work. Oh, well.

 

[Beagle]

Should be shipping to the dealers this week, right?
 
 
Right??

 

[conquerator2]

Hopefully...
Last time I asked, release date was mid September

EDIT - If all goes well, I'll listen to these during last week of September...

Can anyone comment on how sibilant these are? Or revealing of sibilance?
[A comparison to the Ether/HEK would be awesome, but I think asking that is unreasonable ]

Go to innerfidelity's website and watch some of the people visiting Tyll in his Big Sound 2015. More than anything, it shows just how subjective everything really is.

I wont try to convert headfi to objectivity ... Sisyphus will envy you for that uphill task

To the topic, after the latest BigSound installments the Darma jumped up a few levels on my interest radar. Looks like everyone put it in the very-pleasant-suprise basket and in their top3. Impressive!
