Not at all. The M1 and Utopia pairing just sounds beautiful throughout the frequency range. The treble is a forte of the Utopia and it shines with the M1, with plenty of air and won't cause fatigue even in long listening sessions. In fact I can switch between both timbre modes (via DIP switch...

I have heard the Susvara (not necessarily my pair but sometimes at friends' places under good listening conditions and at audio shows under not-so-optimal conditions) driven by numerous amps from HiFiMAN's own EF1000 to the Viva Audio Egoista 845 to some custom-made hybrid amps. Like I...

I've waited for a while before posting my impressions as I had been listening to a black sample M1 from Dethonray since around Christmas before receiving my silver unit a few weeks ago. During these months there have been several firmware updates that brought improvements and bug fixes so I feel...

If you have a WeChat account I can introduce you to the case maker directly. Although I am not sure whether he ships outside of China.

It's not a Dethonray official case. It was made by a case maker whose custom cases are all handmade by himself, one by one. I ordered directly from him after learning about his WeChat account in a small Dethonray WeChat group in which Anson was also active. I got to pick the color from several...

Custom case arrived. Fits like a glove and I love the color that I picked. 😁😁

I tried to upload version 1.2 to Google Drive and the shared link is below: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dDg_V7Kyb_mgVT6Bxq0pJQXqSZr1mMjz?usp=sharing Please let me know if you have any problems accessing the link.

Just installed the newest DTR1+ firmware 1.2 that came out tonight. This version brings two nice and welcome improvements: (1) Automatically compensates for the 6dB level difference between DSD and PCM source files; (2) When switching to a different output level, the default volume will be 20...

I found out about two weeks ago upon receiving my DTR1+ that the adapter box seems to have compatibility issues with USB-C PD power supplies. I tried all my PD power supplies with USB-C output using C-to-C cable and none of them worked. However using a non-PD power supply with USB-A output, via...

Anson made just one unit with this unique color so don't hold your breath for the chance of scoring one... :)

The screen is definitely improved, it looks clearer with more vibrant color even though the screen is the same. Menu fonts look sharper which I think is the result of better font and improved anti-aliasing algorithm in the OS.

Version 1.1.

My DTR1+ arrived this evening. I can only use "Wow!" to describe the unboxing experience. The DTR1+ looks absolutely stunning "in person". The chassis looks and feels like what Apple would call Graphite Black if it were their product. It just has a much more premium look to it all around. The...

Gold/black uses four PCM1704K, Silver uses two of those, Red uses two PCM1702 chips and I suspect the analog design is not the same either, with the Red being inferior. Price-wise, they're at RMB30K+, RMB16K+ and RMB2.8K. so you tell me how different they are. :)

I have the black version (same internals as gold) and at high gain mode you'll need to crank the volume up to drive the Tender I to satisfaction. BTW I don't consider the red/silver ones real HM1000s and don't think they should be called such as they're not really the same thing. For me only the...
