Guys, please chill : i asked Vitaly on FB about a possible price increase of the Volot yesterday, and this is the exact response I have received from him just this morning, warts and all:

"Thank you for asking, mess with pricing was caused when the unit were announced, but for now because of production optimisation so for now the expected price point is 2550 USD"

My translation : There's really no substantial price increase envisaged for the Volot because of production optimization.

Time to ask COVID to let me save for the Volot... (or better, ask to the people where I live that don't follow the recommendations and do whatever they want...)

Really been waiting to try my first set of actual headphones. Going right for the 1266 TC. I was gonna just get the FCN-10 dac/amp as an all in one for the TC but now after hearing the Volot may be under 3k with a potential preorder discount...man. I might have to go with this.

Thank you very much for the news For the people worried about size... It seems that will be same as "Atlas", enormous...

So....a headamp that costs several thousand dollars is a giant killer? It’s a giant. Does it commit suicide?

Lmao quite literally a giant too. But I say this because the FA-10 got you hifi sound at mid-fi price. But the Volot is going to be a TOTL model, so it could be a titan killer instead.

best news Ive heard all day... I have the funds ready to go once they are ready to ship! That thing looks like an absolute beast and the bigger the better.

"Giant" is just about right, but only in size and performance, I hope.

Is that a speaker amp??

Funny I always see posters complaining and wanting something small and a form factor where I see this and think damn that could power a submarine. I can only imagine what this thing will sound like with the 1266 Phi TC and HE6 SEv2! Here's to hoping that is has a great synergy with R2R dacs! I also wonder if it will be available later on in the various colors the FA-10 has. The Champagne/Gold color was quite nice.

This + May KTE + Phi TC? Ultimate soundstage and bass.

I believe someone mentioned on Reddit this would have about 40 watts at the output, enough to drive Susvara to full potential but don't quote me, instead, ask FLA. The fact the looks somewhat match with the upcoming PowerDAC R from the Dutch ECDesigns might be fate. https://www.ecdesigns.nl/en/blog/rd-powerdac

Looks that also match both the AB1266 and the Snorry NM-1.

We've had a Viva Egoista 845 + Wells Headtrip 2 + Wells Milo Reference all been posted on headfi classifieds in the past 5 days... It has been so hard avoiding the urge to send a offer to the postings. But holding strong and keeping faith the Volot is coming soon and will be everything we hope for it to be.

I feel for you bro. At the end I succomed to temptation. Couldn't pass a good deal and bought myself a Pathos Inpol Ear.
So Volot has "volato" (flew away).

Estragon, Lucky, Pozzo, and Vladimir would appreciate this “Waiting for Volot”...
