New owner of H2 here. Pairing it with LCDi4 and feeding it with Roon. After a week of losing sleep. Conclusion: this combo is simply mind-blowing... I'm a previous owner of DAVE and Utopia, not sure which combo I like more now. This combo has a more relaxed and laid back presentation compare to...

A cash cow for obvious reasons. I only have one suggestion. Change the goddam name from Shangri-La Jr. to something like Shambhala or Himalaya. Something also relates to some Tibetan mythical places. Honestly who would like the junior version of something?

Because it would be awesome? LOL. In all seriousness though, I don't deserve it. Good luck to y'all, and good luck on sales Hifiman.

At least it looks fine this time around. Looking forward to more infos.

So you comparing us to the atrocities they did back in the 60s. This is turning into a even bigger joke right now.

Thank you for the thoughtful responses! icebear I am using hybrid filter on my rockna, but I have tried the other 2, hybrid is what I hear to be the most organic and spacious. I also played with invert phase, but I can hear nothing that is different. The source I demo the Utopia is the Metrum...

Dr. Fang Bian Look at the 2nd hand market demand for HE400 and HE6. Why in the hell you stopped producing those is beyond me. Yes, at certain point we all need to move on. But a classic is always a classic! All u need to do is add new headband and it will sell like hot cakes. Especially compare...

There is nothing wrong if you want to use veneer instead of real wood. Many high-end speakers also use wood veneers. But that is hardly my point. 

It was with different source, but my understanding of the GSX is probably a little different from you. I hear it as a bit bright sounding.

If design and build quality isn't such a priority, how about pricing your products more sensibly instead of just being competitive. People care about value Dr. Fang, more so than u think. If the HEK is priced at the original HE6 range, or let's say $1999, I think it will have much better general...

Yes I am keeping the Rockna.

I have posted in the GSX forum before, but I will post here again.   I am considering selling my GS-X MK2 230V in exchange for a 430HA. Based on my audition 430 has much better synergy with the Utopia. So if u are interested check out my listing and PM me. Also if you have a similar mint...

I am considering selling my GS-X MK2 230V in exchange for a 430HA. Based on my audition 430 has much better synergy with the Utopia. So if u are interested check out my listing and PM me. Also if you have a similar mint conditioned 430HA in 230V, I can happily trade with u.

I really love the sound of HEK when it's properly driven and with some good aftermarket cables. The last time I auditioned the HEK V2, the stock form already sound very pleasing. Literally every single time when I listen to a pair of HFM I was like, 'wow these sound awesome'. But literally every...
