This link is to the Carbon. The new Portable hasn't been opened for pre-order yet.
 

  @runeight is the input output set? The input on one side and the output on the other?

 
No, not set in stone yet, but scrunching the size almost requires this arrangement.

oh ok can you keep me/us updated? I want to choose the correct interconnects.

Will this have a 1/4 input as well in the final product?

How my heart pines for thee. I don't even know her name...

This one is next and very close. I'm pretty stoked about it. But we must get the Carbons into the delivery pipeline first.

Hey Alex, we're ready to name this bad boy as soon as you give the go ahead for the contest.

Can you answer my question about the input please?

Probably a long shot but balanced from this thing would be so nice! Either way I think I'd be interested.

I keep thinking the exact same thing, especially when I see the 2 headphone jacks (just screams balanced). Then I remember 1 jack is for LO gain and the other for HI.......

 Right. Missed that. Only 2.5mm jacks. There isn't enough room for 1/4" the way the design is coming together.

Interesting. Did you mean 3.5mm?
 
If it is 2.5mm, does that mean we get balanced 2.5mm in/out like the A&K players (don't see many 2.5mm SE anything nowadays)?

Oh. Typo. Meant 3.5mm. The amp is single ended, but I think you will find that it is, nonetheless, a very good amp. At least those who have had a chance to listen seem to feel this way about it.

 

[gr8soundz]

Oh well. You had me at 2.5........

Cavalli Portable has been mentioned in the Carbon thread;

News 'next week'...

Hey folks, here's the final step. This pre-production unit will be at RMAF. It has the same specs as previously posted. It's length and width are s lightly smaller than my galaxy S5 with cover. Height is about 22mm.
 
Power switch is on the back in a slight recess. Amp will charge from walwart or USB. Amplifier electronics are identical to previous versions. It sounds spectacular.
 
Unless there is some unforeseen problem we will start work on the contest after we return from RMAF. PLEASE DON'T POST ANY NAMES.
 
ATM, given the schedule on the Carbons I think these will begin delivery in early Spring. Not sure when will take pre-orders, but we will set up an interest email so you can let us know that you might want one.
 
Thanks to soundfreq for the images. He's got this unit now, taking for a test ride.
