My wallet is already crying

Coming Soon...

Interesting set!!!
No doubt that will sound great like other Brise stuff
Hopefully affordable.

Hopefully affordable.

If it's less than $5k, I'll be surprised. It looks expensive and the cable appears similar to one that retails for $3.5k alone.

No way, I guest around 10k

15.000 USD

 

[I lack sleep]

15.000 USD

Assuming the reference price in the website is the final price, your guess is close. It's 2.5M yen = roughly 16,153 USD as of time of this post.

That's a down payment on a Tesla. No thanks.

How about the HAA Resolute? Isn’t this also a viable choice and with a more affordable price.

 

[leylandi]

I guess you don't know what fugaku is. It's not an ordinary amplifier.

Well it’s not really out yet. So everyone has to wait to get a real taste only after it’s released. Btw do you know the Resolute?

Edit. I’m open to any device that’s truly a revelation so will certainly try and find opportunity to taste the fugaku when it’s available
