The Freya S would be an excellent alternative.
Too big. Wouldn't fit a Kallax cabinet. Saga/Bifrost width is great.

I have hart audio cables with the disconnects for all my headphones except for my Focal Celestee which uses a fog city audio cable. Spending a hundo on a headphone I love to have a better listening experience and better aesthetic it’s a no brainer!
Custom-shop Hart Audio. Got a second one just like that, but ¼"-terminated instead of XLR.
Doesn't sound any better than stock, but it's so much nicer to deal with in every other way. Worth the 100 bucks, and supporting a small Texas family business in the process. Win-win-win.
Are you sure?Too big. Wouldn't fit a Kallax cabinet. Saga/Bifrost width is great.

I always thought my music sounded pretty good, but after discovering Plankton it now sounds even better!! Thank you, Planktonites!
Or San Quentin...Flashbacks from getting an "unexpected surprise" when I turned around too fast on the bench in the YMCA locker room ...
Superbly done, brother!..... "but my system's not a monarchy, it's anarchy" ..... ..... []
This is a great question, but it touches on the "questions that shall not be asked," or "things that shall never be said," in audio.Serious question for everyone.
After 10 years here I may have missed it due to the sheer volume of posts, but on the Schiit Sine Wave, is there a point on the sine wave for the never ending topic of phoooolisnes of cables being a waste of money after a small sum and at what price point does that start?
If someone isn't mechanically inclined to build their own superior sounding cables for $23.79 is it buy a set for $59.00?
Still the newbie has to realize that their $59.00 will sound inferior to the $23.79 one! LOL, what a hobby.
So, a survey might help establish a "sign" to the newbies to fall in line with the tribal mentally of the sine wave threshold or go somewhere else. Because saying, "but do what you do" feels like a passive aggressive way of saying "you're an idiot".

God! I was wondering how to say that in a 'nice' way. Congrats on being so clever.Flashbacks from getting an "unexpected surprise" when I turned around too fast on the bench in the YMCA locker room ...
Maxon Crumb's purification cloth, after running its course, would be an upgrade.Ditto with the Drop-supplied cable for the HD-6XX's. I think an old lamp cord with chunks of insulation missing would be an upgrade on that.
Thank you!But to answer your question somewhat more expeditiously: I think it comes down to personal preference and budget.
I had one of those. Serious disappointment for non-audio reasons.Did you say Merrill Audio?
So he's a Volkswagen fan? Like a Fanagen?and decided to get a new GT3, a Panamera, and a Taycan all on the same day,
If I may be so brazen and add another point to that: As the designer of audio gear, I think that you're somewhat obligated to dog-food that gear in the worst possible environment that some of your customers will be using it in.For example, I pretty much ignore cables (whether signal or power), fuses, line conditioners, and many other tweaks. This is mainly due to personal preference, because I don't want the nervosa of worrying about whether or not I am missing out on some real or imagined synergy. It's also due to the fact that I design electronics, complex systems that have their own nervosas, ones that don't end at the sonic level, but extend to usability, reliability, etc.
If you're like a neighbor who recently got bored of their cars and decided to get a new GT3, a Panamera, and a Taycan all on the same day,
