From the latest post on Centrance blog, the M8 appears to use a XMOS chip.

Does this work with the iPhone 5 with the new connector?
I look forward to comments. I also respectfully request that someone with access to the RSA style and XLR style plugs post a photo showing both for size comparison, ideally with a measuring scale or a common object like a dime or quarter for scale.
Shoot, iPhone won't let me copy - paste from the HIFI-M8 blog to here, but here is a link to the outpost panel image from Nov. 13:

I am thinking very seriously about switching my preorder to the RSA jack. Of the three options the size is so much more appealing to me. I understand Mr. Goodman's comments on robustness given his years of experience around pro sound gear. I spent a few years as a weekend rocker sound and lights guy in my youth. Pro gear definitely gets HARD use. That said, the hardest use my stuff gets now is careful placing in a nice case, to messenger bag, to the car and home from work. I really don't think I require the level of robustness of a 3 or 4 pin XLR jack. Looking at the faceplate mock ups, the RSA jack looks to be 25% to 35% of the size of the 3 or 4 pin XLR's. from a headphone and iem user standpoint, why would I need anything bigger?

I've been thinking the same. The dual 3-pin is too big, the single 4-pin is better, and the RSA being much smaller looks better to me on a small face plate of a Portable device. For desktop, I'd stick with 4-pin xlr.
I may change my config option from 4-pin xlr to the RSA plug.
If you are wanting a small foot print, why not consider the Lemo plug?

The mini 4-pin female XLR is a nice idea ... for me! I terminate all my headphones now with one and use adaptors. If I get one, I'll probably get the full-size 4-pin XLR as it will be for transportable use, not portable use anyway.
