They sent an email today, also releasing 2pin cables.

Looks like Brainwavz is releasing the Alara this October, a $600 Planar. No image yet

Got that email too. Seems interesting, but $600? There's a lot of competition in that price range…

Personally, I'm more interested in seeing what the HM100 will bring to the table

I am curious about the hybrid IEM as well as both full size headphones.

Some info on the BGVP DMG. Vendors have them on Aliexpress for $189.. Interesting but seems a bit pricy for a Sidy iem. Might be worth a gamble.

I don't know if this price is for real or if it is inflated as there is one vendor on aliexpress I found these on for the price. I am gonna wait till Penon gets them and see where the prices fall. I have to admit I am intrigued. I know these guys can make some good designed earphones. It seems they are charging according to what they feel is the going rate for such tech. 4BAs and a dual dynamic. Might give the Fiio FH5 some competition. That would be something.

Does anyone know, what's the purpose of the blue filter?

According to the image all BA drivers are not original Knowles. They were "specially designed for DMG" and they have BGVP logo. Only HF drivers belong in some way to SWFK family. What is 10006 mid-driver? Downgraded 31736?

IMO that's a bit too inflated. To be fair, the pricing on that site is slashed down from 1398 yuan (200 usd) to 699 yuan (100 usd), though that is common for most product there.

Forwarding fee included, it'd cost around $125 for me. Not that you'd need forwarding since its technically possible to buy direct from there (I just like having an agent to deal for me in case any issues pop up, like DOA stuff):

I decided to preorder the DMG from a local dealer; cost me ~100 as part of a preorder special, which is a pretty good deal considering how much they're marking it up on AliExpress. I haven't purchased an IEM in years actually, so this will be my first new purchase in a very long time.

The coaxial dynamic driver is graphene-coated indeed, but I don't see the point of it being a coaxial coil if they're just going to use it for lows --- makes sense from a parts reuse perspective, though. It seems to be the same driver used in their other models.

The midrange looks to be a DFK-type driver, and these days, it seems pretty easy to get a custom-spec driver from Knowles (or Bellsing) if they're ordered in sufficient quantities. The FR seen so far makes the DMG seem bright, but only an actual listen will tell.

What appeals to me the most is the housing. It looks more comfortable than those bulky CIEM-esque housings people love to use, and the machining seems to be a step up compared to the rest of their models.

As for the DM6, the acoustic design doesn't make sense to me, so I'd avoid it.

A bit of an update. The DD store on Aliexpress that had the DMG for $189 yesterday must be reading our thread here. It is now at a more reasonable $139. I have a feeling Penon will have these at $129 or even cheaper. Can't wait to try these out. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/BGV...6caf2e3&transAbTest=ae803_2&priceBeautifyAB=0

I am gonna call it here first. These might give the Fiio FH5 some very stiff competition at less than half the cost... Early hype!!!:ksc75smile:
