is the 5G the one in the headstage website picture along side the AKG headphones ?

Has to be! None of the previous headstage amps have had USB DAC capability!

Very disappointing form factor.

G5?

That photo of the amp with the AKG's has been there for years and years and years. It was the same graphic used back in 2008. I find it hard to believe that it would be the G5.
 
I think it's the old "Lyrix" amp.

  Me too, I'm looking for an amp with a darker warmer sound signature and more bass in a similarly-sized enclosure to compliment the Apex Glacier and I'm hoping this will fit the ticket.

 
If you are only looking for the amp feature as above to compliment with the Glacier, no need to wait for the G5, I will send you my 4T

You have a 4T? Ooo yes I would like to eventually take it off your hands when I can afford to

Sure, shoot me a pm when you need it.
 
By the way, does anybody have chance to see the G5 prototype?

Hi guys, I'm just a noob with this kind of things.. I'm trying to find the difference between 12HE and 4N. And luckily, I can't find any. is there a difference or is this just the same? 
 
*an advanced apologies for my noobness

i hope it is that old lyrix amp, because it really doesn't look nice. hope it won't be more than 400$ :x

I'm having a hard time keeping up with the different versions. I upgraded last Fall from the 2G to the 4G (I THINK). But since then two new 4th generation versions have been sent to customers. Anywho, good luck to all with the 5th generation Arrow

I don't care for an external dac that much,

I feel like my fiio x3 and my imod have great sound already and i doubt it would be improved all that much anyway

Great, my old arrow 12he's input jack is starting to give up the ghost. I really have become attached to this thing, is there anything else I should be looking at, or should I just spring for a new arrow? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I've got my barely used Arrow 4G for sale here if you're looking for an exact replacement!

Hey RBF, I'm thinking about trying something different, maybe the ALO National for about the same price...Not sure yet...thanks for the offer, though.

In reading this Thread I found the following:
 
In post #2098 dated 8/6/11
Seeing that the impedance switch has been eliminated do you know what the stated output impedance will be for the 4G?
 
Then in post #2099
 I've been told and measured to confirm.  <1ohm.
 
Later in Post #2602 dated5/18/13
Well - it appears we were both wrong.  I contacted Rob - and just got reply back.  He says that for the current 4G/4T, the impedance is 3-5 ohms.
His exact reply ......
"Hi Paul,
its about 3-5 ohm output impedance now.
Rob "
 
So when did the G4 change from 1 ohm to 3-5 ohm?
Date or Serial # or any other way to know?
 
Thanks
