  Unknown. The PM-1 is a pretty new product for us, so the initial sales are done direct to ensure that we can control the communication to the customer. Feedback is key during the first couple of months to ensure that any manufacturing niggles are identified and fixed, recommendations are implemented, and use applications are understood. Overall, it helps us better understand customer expectations and allows us to better choose whom should sell the headphones. For example, Amazon.com sells our BDP-103 and BDP-103D players, but does not carry the BDP-105 and BDP-105D players. Whereas Crutchfield and MusicDirect is the reverse. Different customer basses, different expectations, different product distribution.

The BDP105D is right there on Amazon:

  I will be getting a review sample shortly and looking forward to it.

Nice. A comparison with Yulong DA8 will be interesting. and of course the synergy with PM-1.

Hi Randy,
 
Quote:
An old guy (67) comparing the Audeze LCD-x, Sennheiser 800 and the opp. The Audeze and Sennheiser initially just kill,the oppo, BUT the oppo seems not to be great at bass (Audeze) and the treble Sennheiser. Makes me think the oppo may actually reflect the original mix. I listen to early analog mixes of van Morrison with them and the oppo sounds like it has not enhanced the bass or treble. That said i am an old guy just listening to some headphones. I don't have audiologist credentials beyond almost every audiologist I know who only tests to 8khz since apparently it takes some special stuff to test above:)

As far as imaging, only the symth realiser in my opinion can claim much imaging beyond a little beyond in the head.

 
Indeed, the PM-1 sits somewhere between the LCD-x (bass) and HD800 (treble).  Your ears are working fine!
