I believe the Amber comes with the new Q-Lock Lite adapter system and there is no lightning adapter yet. The DUW-02S is using the older quick switching mechanism for which there is a lightning adapter. The two systems are different and not interchangeable.Does anyone know if the Amber comes with a lightning adapter? On Dunu’s website it’s not showing. But the DUW-02S says it’s there but it’s not selectable. Thx.

Yes, although I’ve never had the chance to see them in person yet, I do love how those Q-Lock adapters look. Either the “Standard” or the Lite. From all the comments I’ve read, seems like great work from Dunu.
My doubt was if Dunu would make a lightning adapter for the Lite version included in the Amber. And also, on the DUW-02S, having the standard version, on the website, I can select MMCX or 2-pin but on “Digital plug” it says “none”.
I’m not buying a separate 02S as I’m waiting to get the Vulkan but an Amber with lightning would be great. And also useful for my other IEMs.
Man, I can’t wait to get the Vulkan in my ears...

I wish they could come any sooner. I’d love to review them and surely buy them, just based on everything I’ve read. I’ll keep wishing.

The 2 digital terminations work with all the standard Q-lock cables and are sold seperately. The Amber is the first with the Light system and there are st present no digital termination for this systemYes, although I’ve never had the chance to see them in person yet, I do love how those Q-Lock adapters look.

Yup, got it. But on Dunu’s website, for the DUW-02S, there is a box for you to add the digital termination when choosing options, but it just says “None”. And I can’t see them being sold separately on the website...

I see them now. I’ll wait for the Vulkan and then I’ll get the adapter. Thanks a bunch.
Still no reason for the option box when you try and buy the 02S if they’re only sold separately. And that’s a big IF.
Sorry for the off-topic since this is an Amber thread and that’s Q-Lock Lite. But we gotta know.
Edit: also, the website (mostly the products in the store) looks different on my iPhone than it does on my older iPad. On the iPad I can’t see all the products. And that’s obviously not Dunu’s fault. It’s my 2014 iPad.

@Sebastien Chiu , can you please clarify on Amber availability, aliexpress Dunu store doesn't have them, bunch of other aliexpress sellers list them, so does https://www.dunu-topsound.com/ where I was able to place order few days ago. Will I even get it?For Amber? Once it's gone, it's gone.

Just lovely, much better than OEM "rope" supplied with ThieAudio Monarch MKII.

Can't deny the thickness of Monarch Mk2 cable, just hope thickness equals quality. I also got my Amber for my Z1R.Just lovely, much better than OEM "rope" supplied with ThieAudio Monarch MKII.
