Yikes...that design. Also I don't know much I trust myself to put the cup lid back on to avoid the $8k mistress attracting all nearby magnets during a late night of classy drinking, listening, and lounging :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:. That being said, if they really figured out how to make...

Check out this thread from Scott's DAC shootout-tons of amazing information. You will have to go page by page and just look up 'wavedream' & 'bricasti', but he discusses the m3, and even the m21 which I believe is much closer to the WD Signature in price. Might be some direct comparisons even in...

Finally got a chance to demo/try out the Wavedream Signature, and all the hype is undeniably warranted. The amount of clarity, incisiveness, precision, punch yet with a musicality and engagement was truly a treat. The synergy with the WA23 is legit-I noticed I much preferred the local clock...

Selling a good condition Pink Faun i2s cable (1 meter length). To my ear, the PF presents a musical, rich, and analogue touch to any system. The cable is in very good condition but I have noted a few cosmetic blemishes that have no impact on performance: -the Pink Faun cardboard paper wrapper...

I hop off the forums for 3 days and now there's a Susvara mk2 rumor going around? Just as I'm drowning myself in Immanis FOMO? :laughing: If HiFiman managed to add a more natural decay (similar to a TOTL dynamic or even magnetostatic driver such as in the Rhap3) to offset the planar timbre...

I am using predominantly the Susvara and the Elites. Also had the Calderas for a bit. I guess compared to the Ferrum OOR + Hypsos, I noticed WA23 to have darker treble (but obviously vastly improved musicality in the midrange, texture, and stage). WA23’s engagement is just on another level. I...

Ha-you should see the page count of the IEM Watercooler thread that inspired this spinoff. I imagine a centralized and accessible thread like this will inspire several others similarly to @bigbeans to deep-dive into the desktop rabbithole:beerchug:

+1 on the WA23; tube-y yet retains excellent dynamics and energy. I actually find the treble a bit dark on the WA23 when paired with the already-warm leaning Wavelight, so it could synergy very well with a brighter DAC/chain. Envy with stock tubes will sound brighter and perhaps more powerful in...

I only found Susvara sibilant when it was underpowered, i.e, during my early pairing with Wells Audio Dragon L2-which ironically is a tube. Sounded wonky and sharp yet bloomy. LCD5 sounded great off it. Susvara sounded much smoother off the Ferrum Stack once I changed my DAC from the iFi iDSD...

Ah thank you for clarification-def sounds promising then:pray:. I’ll give a whirl soon I’m sure.

Oh, don’t know if dark and digital would be good in my case! Lol. The WA23 stock power tubes are the Electro Harmonix

That is good to know-thank you! I do have a WDSignature coming in for demo to compare in the meantime. At least to satisfy my curiosity. I’ve heard great things about Tak2a3, particularly from a technical standpoint, but it seems that they still lean warm so I wasn’t sure it would rectify (pun...

I've connected with Honeyboy and he indeed has confirmed its synergy. MMT is on my shortlist, thanks for sharing!
