What’s the price?

$1,499 as listed by Ibasso, just no stock atm as yet to be released officially

 

[KaiFi]

Do we know anything about the release of its solid state counterpart, the D16? Should maybe be a separate thread for that...

The PB5 has a 2-day countdown to sale, powered by 6 batteries, and a thrust of up to 1700mW @ 32Ω! Spot sales will start on January 23

That looks amazing with good and juicy capacitors. Need some translations please !

 

[andersos]

That looks amazing, but is that 999 limited releases ?

I think it may be 9999 rmb price.

 

[Whitigir]

I think it may be 9999 rmb price.

Nice !! After conversions, that would be around $1.4k

The PB5 sounds like an amazing prospect!

Can I ask you what your definition of the word 'bile' means because in the English language it doesn't look good describing the PB5 as being 'pure bile'

I wonder that too!! Possibly “guts” ? And some how I think guts would relate to being brave or powerful ? So, I take it that he said “pure analog and pure power”

Bile seems to be the term used to describe the sound of a vacuum tube amplifier

I don't know Chinese or English, but I think...
"Experience the pure analog sound and the pure tube amp sound."
