Funny thing is I just watched the ConvinceMeAudio's re-review of Susvara and he happens to mention how he considers the Mass Kobo 465, Amp&Sound Red October, on the warmer side vs. Zahl HM1, WA33, and AIC-10 as more reference sounding.

I've owned Bliss KTE and WA33 side-by-side and did A-B comparisons both with Spring 3 KTE and May KTE as the DAC's. I didn't say it doesn't sound great with the Susvara, I think it synergizes extremely well. I agree it drives the Susvara plenty well with great note weight. I also agree its...

Bliss is not the way to go if you don’t want the smoothed out upper and lower sound. Zahl and WA33 offer more dynamics, more clarity, and you get the extension in both ends. The DAC is also really important for this. Not sure what @smodtactical is using but Holo DAC, Bliss, and Susvara are all...

Selling my like new DHC Chimera cable. This is 6 feet long, 3.5 mm headphone connections and 4-pin XLR that was used with my Susvara. This is a technically excellent cable and rarely become available. Skip the lead times to get one made and purchase mine now.

Speaking of cables, if anyone in the US is interested, I’ll be selling my DHC Chimera soon. It’s a bit too short for my needs.

Which IEMs did you try?

I think you hit it on the head. May with HQPlayer or PGGB decreases the difference between it and Wavedream. Without the upscaler, there's no comparison, the Wavedream is on another level. Whether the cost is worthwhile, that of course is just a personal decision. I think if you have the...

I have a Forza Claire and DHC Chimera. I’m still trying out the Chimera but I will say that the Forza while probably not technically as good, is pretty close. I think the question I’m trying to answer is whether the significantly worse ergonomics of the Chimera are worth it. I think that says...

Denon 9200 or Fostex Th-900 mk2 if you want bass that can keep up with 1266 TC. Also V shaped tuning like the TC. Will not have the soundstage and details like TC, but it will be dynamic and fun like it. Never heard Verite closed but Atrium closed tuning is very different from TC, there’s...

Selling like new Holo Audio May KTE. This unit is 2 years old and has no issues. Comes with original box and accessories. Selling to recuperate some funds. This thing is amazing, especially when paired with HQ Player or PGGB upscale files. Only interested in Riviera AIC-10 or WA33 Elite...

Anyone use a WE 274B or a more obtainable PSVane replica WE274B? If so how does it sound compared to Tak 274B, PSVane 54UG, and other rectifiers?

I have the “regular” version of this setup with Wavedream Edition and WA33 Standard, I love this setup and think the synergy is great for my music genres (rock, edm, metal). Having said that I am curious how the WA33 EE vs AIC-10 compare when matched with the Wavedream since I’m deciding which...

My friend @Hiyono is trialing it and and sent me the upscaled files. The files are large but that depends on how high res you want. It does make a notable difference listening to these vs regular flac 16bit/44 khz. The trade off is the size of the file is like almost 1 GB for a 20 bit/768...

Tried the Tak 274B instead of the PSVane 5U4G and preliminary thoughts are improvement in mids being much more forward, overall smoothness, but loss of bass. Anyone else feel the same way? I’m using PSVane WR2A3. Any other rectifiers than can offer further improvement from the PSVane 5U4G...

I don't think the 2 compare, just so hard to compare fullsize to IEM. Having said that, I do hear some similarities.
