Good luck to all those on the Rai Penta tour. It's a shame I didn't make it this time, but hey, there's always next time!

I look forward to hearing your initial impressions and your reviews. I am quite interested in this IEM.

Woohoo! Stoked to try this one out. Love my 99s, be fun to see what Meze can do with an in-ear.

 

[angpsi]

Will be interesting to compare the Penta against the UM Mirage and Stagediver SD5.
Thanks for having me in the tour.
looking forward to it.

We are flattered by the response of the tour, we thank everyone for their passion on our Rai Penta.

To enhance the experience of tour reviewer, we shall included a 4.4mm balanced silver plated earphone cable in the tour package.

Perhaps consider including the 2.5mm balanced cable as well for those without 4.4mm compatible DAP, or maybe 4.4–>2.5 adapter. Just a thought; I’m thinking of the inevitable “Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to listen to Penta in balanced mode as my DAP has 2.5mm connection” comments. I’m sure some already have their own compatible 2.5mm MMCX cables, but would like a chance to listen with Meze’s own balanced cable.

If possible, yeah that would be nice. I do have 2.5mm equipment.
