Unique Melody is working on a triple-dynamic custom in-ear monitor. I guess they’re really trying to look for a unique product in the increasingly-crowded CIEM segment.To me, though, it feels gimmicky.

Firestone Audio’s Fireye HD | Clean, Clear, Effortless

Firestone Audio is known as a value brand in the world of headphone amplifiers and audio accessories. The Taiwanese company has made a name for itself making the Cute series of small, box-type amplifiers and power supplies. However, over the last couple of years, it has been a little silent with product announcements. Only recently did it come out with an entirely new line of products, beginning with a revamp of the Fireye line. The new line consists of the Fireye HD — Firestone’s flagship portable amplifier as well as the current topic of discussion, the Fireye DA — a combination DAC/amp, and the Fireye HA — a lower-end amplifier based off the output end of the Fireye DA.
