After being in this hobby for 10-15 years I have learned not to create an unnecessary "Paradox of Choice" for myself when it comes to very small changes in my chain. After reading a lot of reviews prior to purchase, I decided to go with the Vegan Seude pads because they seemed like the best...

I am finding the power requirements of the MR to be interesting so far...it is capable of being driven by lower power gear, but the headphone seems to love more power, which means, the more power I feed it, the better and better it sounds. It scales really well...so while it is capable of being...

I just got two more hours of listening time on the Diana MR and I am blown away (even on my Monolith)...one important thing to note is the weight and overall comfort on the head. I have owned a few pairs of Audeze LCDs...Classic, LCD-2, LCD-3 and as much as I enjoyed the sound characteristics...

Agree 100%...when I first ordered, I was pretty sure I would add the ported version in the future, but after a bit more listening time, the bass is far more robust and full than I was expecting with the non-ported pads...I am thrilled with the overall tuning and really have no desire to change...

I will be setting up my Chord Hugo TT2 this afternoon in my new home office, but last night my curiosity got the best of me and I ran the Abyss Diana MR out of my inexpensive "portable" Monolith THX AAA Dac/Amp. The source was just Tidal HiFi through USB to the Monolith and the sound was still...

Thanks! I wish I could take more credit for my impeccable willpower, but I was doing some renovations on my home office so my primary system is currently sitting in boxes. I was planning to set it up tomorrow or Friday to be ready for the arrival of the new Abyss...I was shocked when they...

OK...I am blown away and I haven't even listened to them yet! After perusing this thread for nearly a month, I finally pulled the trigger on an "off the menu" configuration of the Diana MR...Forged Carbon, Black Leather headband, and Vegan Ultraseude ear cups. Customer service said they would...

Order placed this morning...hoping to have them over the holidays to put the new MR through its paces vs HD800S...very excited!!!

Can anyone speak to the relative synergy of the Diana MR on the Chord Hugo TT2 + M Scaler? My favorite headphone on this system is my Senn HD800S. Would this be a good DAC/Amp pairing with the MR?

Congrats! I am planning to order next week with the Vegan pads. What configuration did you go with? Forged Carbon, CF, or Sappele?

If I wanted to order my Diana MR with an "off the menu" combination...like forged carbon with the brown headband combined with the Vegan Suede ear pads, do I have to call in to place the order or can it just be notated in the comments field when placing the order onine? How long does it...

I have sold off a lot of my gear and just focused on my "end game" setup which is HD800S paired with Chord Hugo TT2 + MScaler. I have always wanted to try the Abyss Diana, but am wondering 1) if the TT2 + MScaler would be a good pairing for the MR; and 2) how the MR compares to the 800S. Any...

Well said...it is definitely one of the best amps I have ever heard...velvety pretty much sums it up:)

It has the standard volume pot.

Violectric HPA V281 Like New US I am selling this legendary flagship headphone amplifier and preamp. The Violectric V281 is powerful and has one of the nicest sound signatures I have ever experienced. I am the original owner...the amp was purchased on January 1, 2018, and has spent most of its...
