In terms of equipment, things are not finalised as yet, but we are looking to bring about 6 desktop systems - so a source, DAC, and headphone amp - plus a few portable ones to demo the customs and IEMs.

Brands definitely in attendance: Audio Gd, HiFiMan, Audiotailor, Unique Melody, Matrix, Lite Audio, Calyx. The Calyx DAC is something special - Sabre32 based and accepts 192/32 natively via async USB, plus it has two separate clocks for 44.1/88.2/176.4 and 48/96/192. Can be powered by USB directly or with an external 5v power supply (an extremely high quality linear power supply with discrete regulators is being built for it, and will be available as an upgrade at cost price).

sabre32, 5V input and 2 clocks! Perhaps I'm not into the DAC/transport market so far but the spec is really promising!
There seems to be a lot audio pro coming really looking forward to a chat with you guys

That list sure is looking impressive, I can't confirm whether i'll be able to get there at the moment though should be able to by the end of this week. I presume the custom iems listed are universal demo's on loan from some sponsor.

 Hi Marcus_C, most of the IEMs in the list are those which people are bringing with them. I believe AmpCity are planning to bring some demo IEMs though.

Sheesh I wish I could make this. My wife and I will be in London for about five days through April 1st. Unfortunately we're supposed to be back in the states on that same Saturday. Or should I try to convince her there's something I have to extend for, and get my ticket extended a day or two??  

 
Priorities!! 
 
I so would love to attend this... If I were able to go I could bring a well used Lisa III amp w/power unit, Headstage Arrow 3G, and pairs of SM3 and Ultrasone Pro 900 (although I see those are already represented at the meet), recabled Sennheiser IE8, Radius DDM, etc.

Be great if you could make it along. I'm sure the wife would understand.

Looking forward to this a lot! I won't be bringing any gear (going off overseas on the same night) but will certainly be interested in other people's rigs, especially since I'm relatively new to this hobby

^ what a list! can we extend the meet to 2 days so I can listen to all the equipments?! :O

 

[nhat_thanh]

Man that's impressive! Are there any chance that we can extend the meet till Sunday

 
 

 

[alvin sawdust]

That list from Amp city is mouth watering, counting the days.

 

[Nuwidol]

Some more news as well.
 
I've been in contact with Audeze with the intention of trying to get an LCD2 to demo at the meet. They've actually gone one (or two) better than that & are going to be sending a representative over (who is going to be the new UK retailer soon enough). He's going to be bringing a couple of different LCD2 set ups for us to listen PLUS will have some spare pairs that will be available to buy on the day (avoiding the massive wait!). I'm not sure how he's going to accept payment yet (Paypal?) but I'll find out before the meet so prospective buyers can be ready.

 

[cn11]

Oh for cripe's sake!! The one headphone I would kill to hear, and it'll be there when I'll just miss the meet by one day.  

 
I hope to see tons of pics from the event.
