Great news - I was able to talk Ted from DITA Audio into doing a US tour of their new Dream CIEM that is only now being officially launched. We have all heard the praises coming from the lucky few that have heard it at events, flinkenick's "Ranking to Stars" review, or those that received an early delivery. Now we get to hear them for ourselves.
However, this is a limited review tour for a hand picked 12 participants. DITA is looking for a brave few willing to do a full and honest review. If you are interested, please speak up now as I am opening up for participants. The rules and requirements for becoming a member are listed below.

Dream, the latest and flagship model of Dita's 3-model lineup.
The Titanium Black Dream is made in Japan and is equipped with cables sourced from the venerable Dutch cable company, Van Den Hul. A new custom dynamic driver powers the Dream with a smoother mid-band and bass that reaches even lower with greater control. Dream is also equipped with the Awesome Plug for a multitude of new features.

The participant list is organized logistically to minimize shipping costs starting from Seattle. The the tour will begin with the first in the list for a 10-day audition. Thereafter they will be responsible to deliver or ship the demo kit to the next participant in the list.
- Upon Receipt:
- Post: Please immediately post on the thread both receipt and condition of the demo kit.
- PM: Please immediately PM the next 3 participants on the list to arrange delivery (if local) or shipping. While priority goes to the next in the list, if they are unresponsive, you will have backup options to keep the tour going and the others will be reminded that their turn is coming. This step is critical to avoid delaying the tour. It is each participants responsibility to keep the tour moving.
- Shipping: If a local delivery is not possible, it will be each tour members responsibility to ship the tour kit to the next participant.
- Signature Required: While DITA is not requiring insurance to save us the cost, they do require a signature to have a clear line of responsibility.
- Issues: Please PM Barra with any issues.
- Dropping Out: Please PM Barra if you feel you cannot fulfill your tour responsibility and I will pull you from the list.
- Review: Reviews are greatly appreciated by all Head-Fi members.
- Thoughts/Impressions: Feel free to post your thoughts, initial impressions, pairing results, or even informal reviews or comparisons right here on this thread.
- Formal Reviews: When a formal review is completed and posted to Head-Fi, please post a link here for people to follow.
