AXPONA has a bit of both. They have a couple of larger halls: one for headphones/dacs/daps and then one for other audio equipment and supplies (turntables, vinyl records, cables, etc.). They also have individual hotel rooms set up for a number of companies to showcase their setups (amps, speakers, source devices, etc.).

I see. Thank you. That makes semse.
I 'm looking forward to munich high end, as I happen to be a resident. Last year was cool. Met some people on a beer and the show aināt bad 
Way cooler than IFA. With all the other consumer stuff in Berlin, you need a week to see all. And itās crowded like one would get something for free.
Munich is chilled
As kid my parents left we with my uncle, who used to be a taxi driver in Berlin for the summer vacations.
So I drove with him on the frontseat (this is not allowed under the age of 12) and put peoples suitcases in the trunk. Got me some cash and talked to many people from all over the world. At the end my uncle went to IFA with me- this was the icing on the cake

I forgot to introduce myself in this threadā¦ after I finally registered last week.
So I just say a few words because I would like to compliment this forum which is by far the coolest without any aggressiveness like we can find in other places.
I am a bit over 60, not native english speaking and using headphones for while (since the first Sony Blue Walkman beginning of the 80ās ā¦ a kind of real game changer in the history 
).
Till now, I was mostly using speakers at office and at home, but Hires audio (Qobuz/Tidal and all Flac/Dsd files) made me feel more pleasure with Hedphones fot a few years now.
These last years I am using :
-> for travel purposes (Trains/Planes) and for a while a Z7M2 + WMA1 replaced in 2019 with an impressive closed and light Ultrasone Ed15 veritas
-> for underground, buses, street walking actually my preferences are with Apple Airpods Pro or Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 (amazing deep sound)
-> at office a electrostatic KS H04 and a Stax SR-003 witha KS M10 amp (sometimes a portable M03) will be probably change in a few years for a SR-007MKII
Till now, I didnāt expect any thing at home (I donāt have neighbourhood issue and my dear wife was never complaining for decades with my sound level 
.
But, I would now really enjoy the same level of pleasure with hires music so I wonāt upgrade my sound system in my living room, but I will try to implement one of these :
-> the promising HEDDphone with a SPL PHONITOR xe
-> the surprising RAAL-SR1A with a soon to be released Jotunheim R
-> and a type of OVNI like the Mysphere maybe without dedicated amp and just driven by the WMA1 (also connected in LDAC to a Hiby R6PRO with my Workstation for Qobuz)
All of this, just to explain that itās a real pleasure to read here very details and long term feelings and being able to ask for some complementary points. We can understand benefits and issues of those gears.
I wish this forum will stay so cool for still many yearsā¦
