    Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback

    Yes, that is actually something we’re working on in tandem with the volume control option, which would obviously be necessary for that. We actually already have 600 Ohm drive capability but will add lower impedance drive capability, likely down to 75 Ohms.

    Less so, but power cords which work well with the Extreme work well with the Olympus as well, even though conceptually it sports a completely different power supply.
