Did anyone compare Bifrost and Cyan to the Denafrips Ares 12th? From what I noticed, the Denafrips is rather lush, doesn't deliver a very detailed sound and lacks some texture in the low end. However, it sounds rather large in terms of soundstage and makes vocals sound good with an overall...

It's a bit of a mix for me. I also love old rock recordings, sometimes pop and EDM. But it wouldn't be wrong to claim that there are many sessions with modern jazz, quantity-wise more than anything else. For some reason (don't ask me why), the lively Grados often end up on my head despite having...

Same level as the two I mentioned, not like more than for the MJ3 itself, because then I could have picked a more expensive amplifier first.

Just received a MJ3 directly from the USA. Still waiting a bit so I can afford a decent DAC as well. Therefore I'm open to reasonably priced suggestions. At best, it should be available in Europe. Currently the Bifrost 2/64 and Denafrips Ares 12th are my potential favorites. From reviews, I'd...

@mrspeakers I'd love to hear your opinion about the Aune S9c Pro and if it's a good match for the Stealth compared to CMA or Violetric. It appears to be rather affordable for a DAC/Amp combo and comes with decent power @ low impedance, especially on balanced. They have two different modes, which...

I'd love to hear more sound descriptions of the S9c. It appears that there is not much of a difference to other DAC/amp combos from on the face of it, but maybe it sounds different than e.g. the more expensive CMA or Violectric models?

If you really like the RS2e for its speed/attack and listen to a lot of modern jazz, would you go for a RS2x/RS1x or would you just keep the RS2e? The newer models appear to have less distortion, but maybe that's there the RS2e magic happens.

The Jotunheim 2 seems to be rather affordable and a solid starting point. The only input I can give so far is that the Lehmannaudio Linear USB sounds a tad too sharp/sibilant with the Stealth. It's the same with Hifiman and others, so nothing wrong with the Stealth. Lehmannaudio is basically the...

What do you think about Schiit Jotunheim 2 + DCA Stealth, not in terms of power, but sound quality?

Hello, can someone please give me a hint where to buy the Susvara in Europe at the moment? I've heard that there are vendors with much cheaper prices than the recommended price. The cheapest standard online price I can see is hifihut at about 5800.

How does the bass of the Expanse sound like in comparison to a Sennheiser HD600? I know that this is an uneven match, but I'm interested in how much warmth and bleeding into the mids there is with the additional bass energy. The HD600 is basically one of my "daily use" hHPs and is said to be...

Hi there, I'm currently not able to hear the Expanse or Stealth with my own ears, but would like to buy one of those. What would you say is the Stealth soundstage like in comparison to a Focal Elegia? This is the only closed-back HP I own at the moment and I think it lacks soundstage. If the...
