How much does it cost?800 usd? Im most interested in the binaural DSP effect it has. How it is? :) If someone just could make an hardware item with stereo to binaural processing or something similar to Smyth Realiser,but at a consumer level, it would be outstanding!
Focus 1 cost was 800 USD, Focus 2 cost is 456 USD.

The binaural processor in Focus 1 was more pronounced but it made more changes to the sound (frequency characteristics). Binaural in Focus 2 is less pronounced but has no influence on the frequency characteristics and is more popular among the listeners now.

Binaural makes the sound go out of your head so that the sounds surround you. It also gives instruments more holographic feeling as if you can see them with closed eyes more clearly. I listen to headphones only in binaural mode and turn it off when I listen speakers.

Focus 2 pairs well with LCD-2C and HD600.

Sorry, I have not tried any other binaural or crossfeed solutions.

As to the Norway, I know a guy in Trondheim who's waiting for his Focus 2 now. I can give you his contacts if you're interested.

Hey! Heard anything yet?:)
Sorry, I misunderstood him. He meant he will contact you as soon as he gets it. The postage is hugely delayed for more than 1.5 months because he forgot to order by DHL. Regular Ukrainian post is very slow under quarantine conditions :frowning2:

Sorry, he has no website and the only information is on Russian-language forums or chats in Telegram. But I can update you when his new model is finally out for sale. It is a hybrid with one AMT driver and one dynamic driver. I've listened to one of the beta versions and it sounds really great. I'm not a big user of IEMs though, I'm a stationary audiophile mostly)
