I never thought about that in that way. Interesting how reading novels, tasting food, listening to music have in common with our way perceiving of things and imagination. And as a result rouse our emotion

Of course! How else am I gonna get away with all of my food, film and photography-related analogies?

I'm waiting for one day when you'll photograph an IEM underwater to showcase its liquid aspect and tell a story relating to sushi and Poseidon

Yeah not sure how I feel about that the M8 is pretty much the upper limit of what I'd be willing to carry around with me.

Why give it a forehead notch?!?

M8 is big enough for me, thank you

Apple?

Not a notch, here it displays dsd res.

Probably because the screens were already built and cheaper to source.

Not a notch, here it displays dsd res.

Still looks like a notch. Just looks like they put a colored led there and a cutout to display the dsd stuff.

 

[Charlyro222]

Yes, a way to reduce costs including screens for mobile phones, and an excellent solution for showing that info

You don't understand. The M8 and 9 are not easily portable for a reason. They are to be used when you have settled in one place and want to enjoy some nice music. ie sitting in a very comfortable overstuffed chair, by the fire on a cold winter evening with a small special glass of Scotch or Bourbon . You want to roam with your DAP, get a M6 Pro or MX3.
The M8 & 9 are for maximum audiophile enjoyment. No background noise, just the occasional snap or crack of your real fire in the fireplace,

I think as long as the DAP doesn’t exceed a size that could fit in a hand I’ll be fine with it.

I wouldn’t take a DAP like this out for a jog.

I probably also would never allow myself to afford a DAP like this. So in that way my opinion isn’t really useful.

I love to look, but the highest I’d spend is likely $1,000 USD.

If the M9 is a hit you'll likely be able to score a used M8 for that price. They've indicated the M9 will have a different sound tuning than the M8 so I'm curious to see what that entails.
