Seiun player, $150 player with monster spec. Too good to be true?

[rtar]

I have not heard anything about the free IEMs or the basic Seiun player that should have been sent in January. I sent in my survey and have not had a confirmation yet.

I assume it's paying customers first for the IEMS. Did they say there was meant to be a reply email after sending off the survey?

 

[rtar]

The following was included in the survey:
"To speed up and simplify the process, we have combined all the perks in 1 survey. A confirmation will be sent once we received your response as well. To share our products and enjoy Hi-Res music soon, we will ship your perks really soon once we received your survey response."
 
Pretty clear to me.................

Anybody tried their Feather notebook DAC?  My use case would be with my office PC when other DACs are not available or as a simple DAC for use with my Apple iphone and CCK.

I've funded ProX, with the added Forte Impact earbuds... anyone know if the earbuds are expected to ship sooner, or do ProX backers have to wait for both together?
Anyone else heard/can give any input on their IEMs?

I'm wondering, did you get confirmation of your survey before the player was delivered?

Wow... Does it mean we'll be getting a review by the next hours?

I don't remember the confirmation, but I got 2 survey requests ....

A brief summary on the audio (i have only listened to it for a few hrs) -- sounds much better than the old ipod and iphone 6 (earphone jack). 
With the same flac track, the seiun player has flatter freq response and better clarity (compared to the iphone 6). 
Soundstage on the seiun player could be wider. The seiun player is not warm, and can feel slightly cold/sterile on certain tracks. 
 
Overall I am happy with the seiun player, I feel it's the best in the price range and pocketed'ability.
It would not be fair to compare this little player to the "pro" version or any higher end players. 
 
PS : I did not order the "'pro" version -- not happy with the component placement on the pro pcb.

If my searching skills are correct, there are no units of Seiun  PRO X in the wild? NO review units and no demo units?

 

[Middy]

Yes that's true. We have only seen renders as of yet... Only Seiun Players. .

Seems like a gamble then. Mighty tempting, to say the least.
 
edit: Anyone know the amp they are using, or is it a generic el-cheapo smartphone amp?

 

[ShreyasMax]

Mighty interested in the Pro X. If all is as told, that is.
