This is for the KTE edition. Haven't tried the lvl 1 or 2 versions.

It's close but the Spring still bests the Gumby A2 on the detail front as well.

I've listened to both the LCD-4 and Ether 2. I'd describe the Ether 2 as warm and the LCD-4 as dark.

You could use the RCA outs to a Schiit Loki then to an external amp.

@Silverion77 Could you bring your ZMF headphones? @gandhisfist Will you be bringing your Borealis and Australis? Haven't listened to them since the prototypes.

I'll be attending and bringing my Convert-2, Phonitor X, and Hugo 2. Headphones will my Utopia, HE1000V2, MDR-Z1R, and HD800SDR.

I have and it runs the HE1000SE very well though the HE1000SE has been made to be very efficient. I could even power them with my Samsung Galaxy S9. Certainly a huge improvement compared to the HE1000V2 which even the DAVE can't provide enough power to make them sing. Though I'd honestly save up...

Are you able to run the Susvara SE or do you need to use the XLRs on the back and a custom cable to get enough juice out of it? Looking at getting the TT2 and either the Susvara or AB-1266 Phi CC to complement my utopia and HD 800.

Don't you also have the susvaras?

Would these have good synergy with the HD 800? Sounds to me like the low end emphasis and ample power of 288 mW for its 300 ohm impedance would be a great combo.

Is there any noticeable degradation in sound quality if you add an in-line button mic to any of the cables? Looking to get one with a mic for my MDR-Z1R.

Semi-related but are you still offering factory upgrades from the Ether C to the Ether C Flow? I don't see it on the website anymore.

Curious to see how the E2 compares to the Susvara

Dang, was originally planning on settling for the TT 2 but am definitely going to save up more for the DAVE.

For those who've listened to both the DAVE and the TT 2 has the TT 2 narrowed the gap considerably since the original TT or is the DAVE still leagues ahead in resolution?
