Taking orders :)

Doc, can I ask how the new K812 stacks up against the K1000 and the HD800?  I still really loved the tonal quality of the K1000 despite its age and thought it bested the HD800 in several areas but Ive not had a chance to hear if the K812 is a worthy successor.
 
Suggest you check the meet impressions thread at Head Fi for more opinions, but I will say that they didn't float my boat on the mainline but sounded pretty nice on the S.E.X. amp. They are a pretty bright headphone, seems to me like they are a little hyped up to create a sense of presence and detail that may not be in the original recording you are listening to. The S.E.X. amp toned that down a bit and let them show that they have very good resolution.

My favorite is still the K1000s, and I still like the HD800s a lot. I also was impressed with the HE-6s and the Alpha Dogs. K812s were a bit behind any of those for me in that situation on that day. To each his own, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, opinions are like a******s, YMMV, TANSTAAFL, BYOB, ROTFLMAO, etc.
 
Just a little update -
John, PB and I had a conference call tonight and we all verbally signed off on the current prototype. So our next step is to begin to arrange the acquisition and programming of the programmable components, one of which seems to take several weeks to deliver.

Hopefully by the end of the week we will have some hard numbers to work with and we can determine the price.
 
Yes we will do a Kickstarter. It will take a little time to put it together.
 
"It would probably be hard to discern much of this difference without the ability to switch the charger in and out on the fly."...............  For us ultra lazy, a clapper circuit would be cool... on the more expensive side, a voice command module would be the bizzz..... :)    "Battery, ON"  and maybe "Kirk Out" for shut off....
 
With a clapper circuit installed, you would now be able to have Foreplay, Sex and The Clap.......... obvious name for the dac......
