Those are a few of my favorite things 😅

Good !:gs1000smile: Btw how do you compare the Plenue S and the Plenue 2 mkii?

What DAP is it?

Yes. There is 3rd UI: https://cdn.head-fi.org/a/11338920.jpg https://www.head-fi.org/threads/cowon-plenue-2-taking-it-a-step-further.838510/post-15918942

It is a Cowon Plenue 2 mk ii. The one that has a 9038 pro is the later flagship version Cowon Plenue L. If you just like pure sound quality of music without any streaming services, these Cowon Plenue Daps are for you😁

Oh! Congratulations! Tell me how do you think about these combo Klipsch hp3 + the Heritage amp

Why 3 pairs of Ebony earpads ? Where did you find them? I have the Ebony HP3 but cannot find the spare earpads!!!

You may need certain burning time for the HP3. How do you compare the Klipsch Hp3 vs your Sennheiser Hd800?

If you use power hungry headphones with balanced cables : go ahead with the Plenue 2 mkii. It has more powerful balanced out put ( 3.21 Vmrs vs 2Vmrs of the P2). Otherwise, buy the P2. Both P2 mkii and P2 have similar sound signature.

Oh, thanks for the comparison review! It seems that the Empyrean is the very upgraded version of the Meze 99 Classics. They both have lush,sweet and warm vocal but the Empyrean is much higher end. ( Does it worth 10 times $?) I got my Klipsch HP 3 at a discounted price. So the Empyrean costs...

I see in your signature that you are having those ...Meze Empyrean (Jet Black), Klipsch HP-3 (Walnut) , Audeze LCD-2 Classic, Meze 99 Noir Audeze iSINE10 w Cipher V2 cable, Meze Rai Solo. I also got the Klipsch HP-3, Dita Fealty, Audeze iSINE10 balanced cable, Meze 99 Classic... I am just...

If you only care of sound and don't care about streaming, tidal, bluetooth ... so on and so on, go for the Cowon Plenue L! Cowon Plenue L is just for purist music. It is also much lighter and smaller, slimer ( and more elegant to me) than the Shanling M8 or Fiio M15
