"THIS PRODUCT IS A PRE-ORDER​

This is a rough estimation. It may change without prior notice. "


Those look very interesting to me. Their graph has many similarities to my current favourite iem, the SFR MT100 Pro's graph - the sub-bass focus, toned-down 3KHz to 4Khz part and the high treble boost. W shape. It is also specified to have N55 magnets like the MT100 Pro and unlike the Timeless which has N52 magnets.

The larger number here indicates a stronger magnet by a few percent.

New product from Tempotec. It looks like a WiFi, Bluetooth, RCA and Balanced 4.4mm output DAC that also has a display and headphone output (the same as the balanced output).
It's called the Serenade X.
Tempotec's children have some very repetitive names... although they are always good children...

That would make a nice addition to a PC desk, or stereo home audio system. If it can operate as a USB DAC with a Win10 PC, without having to install any drivers, it would be a great device for my desk at work.

It has a balanced output that I could use with my iFi Zen Can amplifier, so that makes it very appealing as well.

Yup, that makes sense. That way you could use your ZEN CAN as a balanced device front to back!

I wonder if it can play from a USB hard drive connected to the USB port?
The 4.4mm output being on the back would mean a stand alone amp would be needed for practically.

I've been thinking for a while about a setup for the office that is compact, but keep stumbling on the source as don't want to use my phone or laptop, so this has me interested.
