Our new website will be online around 12 pacific, danclarkaudio.com.

AEON 2 Closed starts shipping TODAY (yes, not in 2-3 months!!!!!).

Headphones are en route to Germany and China, with more to international distributors next week. Several US retailers like Listen Up! will have product on hand starting today. We will be shipping limited quantities ordered from www.dcaudio.com starting this afternoon.

AEON 2 Open will ship within two weeks.

Another winning product from a genuine friendly and kind manufacturer.

Wow, looking interesting. Hope to see more comparison against original AEON family, and how is it compared to Ether 2.

Congrats for the new brand, Dan. And looking forward to see more from Dan Clark Audio.

Well... In europe we know perfectly that mr.speakers was an headphones builder.
Any case, best whishes for the new brand

I'm waiting to be told that these will be Ether C Flow beaters!

 

[moriez]

DCA it is. Nice choice.

I'm waiting to be told that these will be Ether C Flow beaters!

As a former owner of the ETHER C Flow and having the Aeon 2c in hand, I'm going to say the overall performance of the Aeon 2c is better.

Great if so as it will be an easy upgrade!

Can you comment on the tonality of the AFC 2? I enjoyed the AFO, it was warm sounding and matched my preferences well. The AFC was too neutral for my tastes. I'm hoping the AFC 2 is warmer than the original.

Great video. Excited for this new direction. Can't wait to get the AEON 2 Closed and Open in stock in the next couple weeks!
