I preorderd the DMS Project Omega yesterday. I could list all of the things I like about this project and the headphone here, but all I’d really be doing is quoting the marketing material point-by-point. I’ve also heard a pre-production model at CanJam SoCal 2023. And I’m into this hobby as much to explore as I am to assemble a Tier One system. So I feel there is little risk for me to jump in before the reviews are published.
Will it be the best sounding headphone, full stop, for $1k? Not likely. But it’s also unlikely I will regret the purchase when I know some of that price is supporting a bootstrapped project that will eventually go open source.
