Really enjoy jamming to my Sunnivas with Trance that has a more bassy and definitive tune compared to my thumpy, airy and 'ethereal'/less bassy Stax SR-507. Also some Hard Tekno. Tones are so much more defined and down-to-earth than the E-stats.

Verum 1 Mk2 might be an option for smoother presentation. They are a pair of planars with remarkable sound, easier to drive too. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/verum-1-mk-2-mini-review.956759/ The Sunniva would also be nice if you want a smooth presentation, only that it is an earbud; stock...

There are people preferring HD600 over planars. Even dynamic driver, planars, and electrostats are like apple, oranges, and grapes

Wait out one or two years then you'll get a fully functional cheap dongle that gives class A 400mW. In the meantime, there's Chord Mojo, Questyle M15, Cayin Ru7, and VE Prime + RA2B-FE stack that are considered portable options.

Hmm, beginning to step into the path of audiophile eh? I have once been like that too, leading me to buy a second-hand Stax set... Then I discovered there were many things that were, not as they seemed. All the best on your journey. Though, I would still recommend that you find a store to demo...

Hold up! You mean deez? They sounded like Sunniva with the Bass Tuning kit, only better! Edit: Turns the Sunniva into a vocal performer. I'm likin' it!

Ah, fellow stock tuning Sunniva enjoyer. The thin low density foams, are they the stock foams?

I saw customer reviews on Taobao mentioned them being easier to drive than the Venus. Also coming along with comments like a FiiO KA13 or a Topping A50s that provides enough current to drive them. The specs of the FiiO seems good enough, adding the juicy low price of $69.00 Although you might...

Considering the power draw, a budget stack like S.M.S.L. C200, or a Schiit Magni + Modi stack will do. I can't guarantee whether a dongle will provide optimal sound quality for a planar magnetic. This depends also upon the capabilities of the headphone, and whether they synergize well with your...

Today is the second last day that I will be spending time with my Venus before leaving home again. Through thick and thin of diagnosing my D300 DAC, I can say endgame is not far away. Firstly, I would say that D300 is a formidable DAC, compared with my SU-1, other than the difference in...

ROFL 🤣🤣 Well, glad to see OG still stand it's own ground. Ahh, treble. :)
