Actually the word is soliloquy.How good they are.
I just like the way it sounds...

All our IEMs use polycarbonate for their acoustic shells; we use different metals for the diaphragms of the transducers.anyone compare the various Periodic IEMs to the Campfire Comet and Atlas IEMs?
They seem intriguing especially the magnesium and beryllium body's
whereas I've only seen stainless steel, aluminum, plastic, wood, aluminum and titanium housings
I do have magnesium shelled laptop.
Something new at London! We'll debut it there, in about 5 days...@DanWiggins any info to share on upcoming models?
Want the new stuff plus I do have a T-Mobile lg V10:-D, I do here so hiss without an amp.Something new at London! We'll debut it there, in about 5 days...
For Nickel, it's all ready EXCEPT for T Mobile. We are killing the last of the GSM (cell phone) noise that we get from T Mobile devices in the US. We test clean with all other services and phones, but some earlier iPhones and the LG V30 have some residual GSM noise with Nickel. And we're not going to ship a product that can pick up GSM noise. So - we wait. I'm not happy about it, but we're not going to ship a product that could be noisy for a small segment of consumers.
We have, hopefully, the final changes identified at this time and are spinning new boards to test and certify. If that works - then we're about 45 days away from 100% availability. Unfortunately it takes 10-12 days to spin a board and a set of tests...
No DAC - analog input only. The dirty little secret is that the DAC in most cell phones/tablets is really quite good. The amplifier stage is what sucks. So - using an external amp means your built-in amp becomes a "preamp" and the sound is really cleaned up a lot by removing any and all power demands from the built-in amp.Nickel doesn't have a dac? If I remember correctly I talked too Dan and he said it did.

Carbon will be released before RMAF. We will get specs up sometime in late August, with shipments starting in late September.Its pretty interesting, but also makes sense. Since modern smartphones are pretty close in sound quality with dedicated players. I had M3s and could not justify keeping it when my phone had practically the same sound playing same song. Black background, no hiss. Now where smartphone will struggle is driving iems and headphone properly with enough juice. Which in turn makes them ( smartphones ) sound congested and claustrophobic, they just dont have the power. This is where nickel might shine, a truly portable solution.
But i still prefer anything with an ESS Dac over a smartphone.
Also, any more details about the C. Sounds very intriguing. When do you plan to share specs and pics with us.
