Ordered mine as soon as i got the message, I've been checking on them all day. Looking forward to a good trial. It's worth the price to try something brand new to the market with potentially great value.

Do you think this would be better than other Planar Headphones such as say Hifiman Edition X v2.
 
PS: I am considering either this or HEX v2.

I'm so tempted to buy these - but I just went through 3 different headphone returns at Amazon and it's going to seem like I am abusing their return policy if I buy these and return ANOTHER pair lmao. 
 
I essentially purchased AKG K240's, decided I wanted to get something higher end so I returned them and purchased Fidelio X2's, gave the Fidelio's a solid week to burn in but was getting headaches, wasn't overly impressed, so I returned them, got VMODA M100's, love the sound but not the comfort, got XL pads, had issues with the installation of the pads and got replacements, and now these release lol.

First time posting.
 
If the reviews are good I'd like to get the m1060 to use with my Pioneer XDP-100R... is that powerful enough to power the m1060? do I need any cables or adapters in order to be able to do so?
 
Thanks.

Your going to need to wait for impressions.  It says 200mw to 4W optimal power, and 10W for 200ms maximum power handling.  
 
Just looked up specs on the Pioneer XDP-100r thing and it puts out 75mw at 32 Ohms.  No way will that work.

My bad. I didn't check specs properly

Hmm, Supermini might be enough then. It would be amusing if a dap that small can handle a planar. Then again, Walnut should be more than capable I think.
