    Introducing HIFIMAN Ananda Nano

    Nice. Seems perfect as far as being a clean/powerful headphone amp. Only problem is i'd be paying for features i don't need, like the preamp and the speaker outs. Does the A30 have a DAC in it?

    Introducing HIFIMAN Ananda Nano

    Looks great but i need at least 1 mic/guitar input, and it's probably too expensive for me anyway, for now. Still on the hunt for a good headphone DAC-amp to match with the Nano...

    Introducing HIFIMAN Ananda Nano

    Oh hi Martel! The reason why i want the EQ onboard the DAC/amp is because i fear i'll forget to turn the EQ off when switching to using my monitors instead of headphones, lol. It would be nice if the EQ profile was "stuck" to the headphones only, if that makes sense. The Nano's have a low...

    Introducing HIFIMAN Ananda Nano

    This has probably already been discussed so forgive me if this question is redundant (49 pages is a daunting mounting to climb), but what DAC/amps are considered to pair really well with Ananda Nano? Budget is $300-ish. I'll be using the headphones to play audio from my computer (i'm an audio...

    What are some dacs under $300 that match really well with Hifiman Ananda Nano headphones?

    Hey all, I have a pair of Ananda Stealth V3, and i'm thinking of upgrading to Ananda Nano. They both have similar specs. The Nano is 14ohms, 94 sensitivity. The Stealth is 16ohms, 93 sensitivity. Not looking for anything overly expensive, just looking to help the headphones reach their...

    Hifiman Ananda Stealth Magnet Version

    I never get any harsh spikes. So maybe either my interface or my damaged ears are rolling it off a bit. I did expect the V3 to be brighter given what i've read around the internet before i bought them, but it hasn't been my experience so far. I have actually wished they were brighter

    Need dac/amp recommendations for Hifiman Ananda Stealth edition

    Hi, did you end up finding a suitable solution? I have the same headphones and same needs as you.

    Hifiman Ananda Stealth Magnet Version

    I haven't heard the V2, but i have the Ananda Stealth V3 and i would definitely not describe it as bright. To me it feels warm and thick. It's a relaxed sound, vocals can feel a tiny bit too far back actually. But i guess it's possible that the HP output on my audio interface isn't amping them...

    Hifiman Ananda Stealth Magnet Version

    I'd argue that the truth is the most important goal, regardless of how new to the hobby someone is. And just as an aside, for me it's not a hobby, i'm doing professional mixing & mastering. I only say that to make a point that there's no benefit in assuming someone's "newness". At the end of...

    Hifiman Ananda Stealth Magnet Version

    This guy (who's a scientist as well as an audiophile) believes the cable does change the sound: He's got a whole series of videos about the topic. Thoughts?

    Hifiman Ananda Stealth Magnet Version

    I just ordered the Ananda Stealth v3 myself... I've never used planar magnetic headphones before, and the most "high end" headphones i've ever used are the AKG K712, so i'm excited to experience this I have a question, should i replace the stock cable? If so, what brands/models would you...

    Reply to review by 'Barncore' on item 'HIFIMAN ANANDA Stealth'

    Great review! You have a way with words. I was just wondering if you've had a chance to hear the newest silent revision of the Ananda Stealth (V3) a year later? And what your thoughts are in regards to the sound differences, if any?

    The AKG K712 Pro Support and Impressions Thread

    Hi guys, My beloved K712's are getting a subtle buzz in the right cup during sub frequencies. From what i read this could possibly be a hair in the driver. It's been happening for 2-3 years but haven't been able to build up the courage to open the cans up yet for fear of damaging them. But...

    A good DAC/amp match for AKG K712's? <$130

    Why don't i need a DAC? Is that because my TASCAM has a DAC? How would i use both the Tascam and the Magni at the same time? Which would plug into which?
