New TEO Audio ICs, who has them?


TEO has been busy, they recently introduced the KRONOS ICs:

I see they also have an upgraded version of the Game Changer (GC II):

@t_ramey ....Much sorries, but the economics of the situation ( the GC is priced as a direct sale item and the margins are quite thin ) really don't allow for a straight-up trade in ( I'm assuming here that a straight-up trade is what you are asking about ).
@in_shore ...Truth be known the Kronon, which is one of our new cables, is the direct result of an attempt to revise the Splash. We started revising and by the time we were done we had created something that  sounded much better but unfortunately also had higher associated production costs. 

So after thinking about it for a while we decided to keep the Splash as is, and offer the Kronon as a higher priced alternative that provides an increase in performance.
Hello, we’re still here. Some don’t mind when manufacturers post, some do. So we try to tread lightly in matters that pertain to us.

Paraphrasing from a thread at Canuckaudiomart, when someone asked about construction:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They look almost the same..but internally are quite different.

The GCII is slightly more expensive due to the use of different materials and a more complex assembly protocol, .....that being said we feel the improvement in sound quality far exceeds the rise in price.
Thanks for posting this. Hopefully Teo can chime in and help explain what’s different about the GC 2 from the original. I like that the price is still reasonable. The Kronon looks to be incredible but I’ll probably never have a chance to hear it.
