The half baked prototypes are ready for demo at select East Asian/South East Asian Sony stores so nothing suggests to me that the product isn't pretty much finalized. I suspect there's more problems with the manufacturing process than anything else, the shells and propriety drivers aren't your typical Knowles/Sonion off the shelf solutions and it isn't made in China where manufacturing changes can occur far faster than anywhere else.
The launch isn't really anything different from a delayed piece of software or anything else really. If the end unit sounds similar to the demo unit, its still going to make money through word of mouth.

There’ve been a couple demo events in Korea as well, with pretty glowing reviews. From what I’ve heard, the delay has to do with parts shortages or something?
I'm waiting, but not so patiently. To me, a well executed iem that uses DD for both bass and lower midrange, with a separate tweeter is the configuration for which I've been waiting. I want something that plays Paul Chamber's lead line of So What, John Coltrane's tenor of A Love Supreme, and the grandeur of Mahler's 1st with the right timber and space...

I think this configuration will be ideal for me too but 2300 eur it's exaggerated.
Maybe an N3AP upgrade will have a less inflated price while keeping the trend with DD for bass and mids.
Thanks! I don’t have my preferred source with me, but I did bring my Solaris. Not sure if these represent the final tuning, but very interested to see how they compare to the initial reactions, the CA hybrids, and my own tastes.
