Interesting, I feel like Storm sounds even plenty dynamic from the iPhone dongle (sacrilege I know), but I don't have portable DAP right now.

However, this is all I need for now <3

No more DX260?

No more DX260?

I was not the biggest fan of the DX260 to begin with as I felt the treble resolution was weak. But the mjolnir for my tastes blows away every dap I have heard, so I couldn’t help but see the DX260 as ~$800 tied up in something I no longer needed.

I am using my PAW S1 now for on the go usage. I would like to find something better but I’m torn in that mid-point between trying to find something that’s worth keeping around without breaking the bank as most of my listening is done through the Mjolnir.

Ever consider the DC- Elite or the W4? I’d imagine that those would be a great dongle compliment for the Mjolnir.

I don’t really like dongles to be honest. I’m only using the PAW S1 because I have it already. I try to avoid using my phone for music when possible.

A STORM has arrived





The cable featured is the Nightjar Acoustics Sovereign 2W, one of the upgrade options for STORM.

Seems to me that the only way to purposely do that is with phase cancelation via the super tweeter crossover. I can't comment on the actual sound so won't but will guess it would sound very friendly and open on top with an added ethereal factor. Looks like the dip is prevented from being even greater by elevating the tweeter in general with a side benefit of enhancing the air/harmonic ranges. Perhaps a way to elevated harmonic detail without harshness... or I may be completely off base. Probably not for me if done that way but obviously, well regarded people really like it.

I know that some folks had compared the N30LE to the DX320 Max Ti with the Storm. I'm curious what the power difference is between these two. It seems that I cannot find the same measurements comparing the two. I am liking the sound of the N30LE with the Soleil a ton. I lent my Storm + DX320 Max out, so I cannot compare... yet!

I picked up the SP3000T instead after 5 days of auditioning. I can’t go with non-Android sources on the go.

For me personally, I'm not terribly enamored with either design, so apathy in equal parts here. But I did find the entire faceplate debate funny as all heck.

i honestly love it lol

Does anyone knows how to buy the Storm? Are they producing new units after the Launch Edition? Any ETA??

 

[hAbIrAbI]

They are working on Release edition which is tentatively targeted for a release in Q3 2024 if the planning hasn't changed.
