Yes. The buttons on the back don’t bother me at all

But the remote……….

I believe that that had been a good choice, for the difference for those two models for the Niimbus to be changed, so that the only difference for them now would be the type of volume control that those two models possess.

This really seems to be the TOTL endgame headphone amp including the possibility to drive any headphone on the planet (electrostats excepted). Looking forward, dont like waiting.

 

[vonBaron]

Because it is endgame amp! BTW your link don't work.

 

[jlbrach]

they have ramped up the prices on these amps to tough levels to swallow

 

[vonBaron]

US5 have the same price as US4 no?

6400$
For EU people is standard price...

 

[jlbrach]

I stand corrected...6400...but the point stands that it started out at 5 grand for the 4 plus

I don’t known if these are correct rrp (ie usual listed) prices of the 4 and 4+, or if they have stock or even who this store is as i am in autralia but i found this

https://audiocranium.com/collections/nimbus/products/copy-of-nimbus-us-4-headphone-amp

https://audiocranium.com/collections/nimbus/products/nimbus-us-4-headphone-amp

4+ is $6k
4 is $4.5k
and i see on powerholdings site, which is usually rrp
5 pro is $6.4
5 is $5.8

so there is price hike for the extra set of inputs, 4.4 output and remote (and motorised alp) on the 5 vs the 4 of $1300
and for the extra 4.4 connector on us 5 pro it is an extra $400 relative to the 4+

so no FREE upgrades from 4/4+ to 5/5 pro
