    Will do. This rdac will have inputs from an older Surface pro via usb, tv audio via optical, DVD audio transport via coax and Bluetooth from my phone - it's gonna get a workout, 2 channel and headphones.

    Need a new phone…maybe the new Sony Xperia 1 Mk II is for you. It's pretty expensive at US$1199, and preorders start 6/1 for 7/24 shipping.

    So what's the deal? Not to mention the audio tie-in? Preorder by 6/28 and you'll get free Sony WF-1000XM3 earbuds. Oh, and the phone has a 4-pole headphone jack!

    I saw it here (https://www.techradar.com/news/sony-xperia-1-ii-release-date-price-news-and-features), but I'm sure it's mentioned other places.

    Preorder here (https://www.sony.com/electronics/smartphones/xperia-1m2) I'm guessing.

    it seems to be a "lottery" to get the yellow earpads :(

    I think that all 25,000 units with that packaging will also have the yellow pads.

    All phones have a 4-pole. It's for the mic.

    Sadly, it is a lottery - scroll down on the page Cspirou gives below. Phoning a smaller retailer who's prepared to open a box or two to confirm yellow has worked.

    The Senn UK site also has them (complete driver units):

    https://spares.sennheiser.co.uk/sen...-600-ohm-headphone-driver-capsule-545758.html

    Edit: I did imackler a disfavour - he's right about the units 'with that packaging'. The lottery part is that when you order, you don't know if they'll ship you the yellow package or the standard.

    @Biodegraded I hope they have one! I'm tempted to call a retailer, too.

    The Sony WF-1000XM3 is now $50 off, $178, rather than $228 at most of the usual suspects, including B&H. I've seen some love for these on the general audio advice thread that got me interested, and the price drop may make it more likely for me to give them a try.

    It looks like B&H dropped their price as well.

    Worth it! - I really enjoy mine. You can EQ them in the app and it follows the headset everywhere - pretty nifty.

    FYI, the price drop on the XM3 is likely because the XM4 is supposed to come out soon. Most notably, the XM4 is supposed to let you connect to 2 devices at once.. the mic is also supposed to be better for calls and their DSEE feature is supposed to work better. But if the new features aren't a big deal to you, then the XM3 is a good buy (that is, if the price doesn't drop further after the XM4 is released). I still use my WH-H900N h.ear on 2 (cheaper version of the XM2) for flights.

    edit: oops. Thought you guys were talking about the over-ear headphones. Haven’t seen any news on XM4 earbuds

    There are some new b-stocks listed at schiit:

    Oddly each of the TEN products listed have an available quantity of...TEN. Just weird.

    That is interesting. You'd think Schiit would go to 11.

    I wonder if those were allocated blocks used for demos, shows, reviews, dealers, etc.
