Oppo PM-1: A New Planar Magnetic Headphone!
Somewhat reminiscent of the ED8LE, and I'd say will be priced similarly as well.

on the plus side, if its priced at 1.5-2K, it should compete with LCD-X & LCD-3 and keep Audeze at its toes

But the Ed8LEs were ridiculously overpriced for the SQ they gave and that box is still much nicer than the Ultrasone one.
Indeed. More likely that it'll be price somewhere between the HE-500 and LCD-2 IMO.

I'm thinking it won't be over a grand.

I heard that the Oppo will only be sold at public auction. You have no one but yourselves to blame.

Of course, now that the box has been seen, there's only one logical conclusion on the price.

Keeping up with the Joneses hasn't been an Oppo trait.... why the presentation box? Don't like the direction the price would be heading with the pomp and presentation...... Actually, I kind of sense that the first phone, perhaps might be a first of many? Start at the top and trickle down?

Perhaps, yet they have judged that the top is where to start, they've "boxed" themselves into an expensive corner.

I was just thinking to myself--head-fi really needs more rambling posts by pompous douchebags.
