Speaking of cables, if anyone in the US is interested, I’ll be selling my DHC Chimera soon. It’s a bit too short for my needs.- Chronos

HiFiMan Susvara
I think you hit it on the head. May with HQPlayer or PGGB decreases the difference between it and Wavedream. Without the upscaler, there's no comparison, the Wavedream is on another level. Whether the cost is worthwhile, that of course is just a personal decision. I think if you have the...- Chronos

HiFiMan Susvara
I have a Forza Claire and DHC Chimera. I’m still trying out the Chimera but I will say that the Forza while probably not technically as good, is pretty close. I think the question I’m trying to answer is whether the significantly worse ergonomics of the Chimera are worth it. I think that says...- Chronos

Good closed headphones
Denon 9200 or Fostex Th-900 mk2 if you want bass that can keep up with 1266 TC. Also V shaped tuning like the TC. Will not have the soundstage and details like TC, but it will be dynamic and fun like it. Never heard Verite closed but Atrium closed tuning is very different from TC, there’s...- Chronos

Woo's New Flagship WA33
Anyone use a WE 274B or a more obtainable PSVane replica WE274B? If so how does it sound compared to Tak 274B, PSVane 54UG, and other rectifiers?- Chronos

Woo's New Flagship WA33
I have the “regular” version of this setup with Wavedream Edition and WA33 Standard, I love this setup and think the synergy is great for my music genres (rock, edm, metal). Having said that I am curious how the WA33 EE vs AIC-10 compare when matched with the Wavedream since I’m deciding which...- Chronos

Holo Audio May DAC Speculation
My friend @Hiyono is trialing it and and sent me the upscaled files. The files are large but that depends on how high res you want. It does make a notable difference listening to these vs regular flac 16bit/44 khz. The trade off is the size of the file is like almost 1 GB for a 20 bit/768...- Chronos

Woo's New Flagship WA33
Tried the Tak 274B instead of the PSVane 5U4G and preliminary thoughts are improvement in mids being much more forward, overall smoothness, but loss of bass. Anyone else feel the same way? I’m using PSVane WR2A3. Any other rectifiers than can offer further improvement from the PSVane 5U4G...- Chronos

I don't think the 2 compare, just so hard to compare fullsize to IEM. Having said that, I do hear some similarities.- Chronos

Agree, Servo mode is much better than Class A. I felt like there was too much warmth, and possibly lack of details and dynamics with Class A. I was actually disappointed with Zahl until I listened again with Servo mode which I thought was excellent.- Chronos

Rockna Wavedream DAC
What do you think about synergy with WA33 EE and AIC-10? How do the two amps compare? I’m thinking about upgrading to one of them with my Wavedream as DAC- Chronos

Not sure what clinical edge means but if you’re ever experiencing anything to sound shouty or harsh on the Susvara, it’s probably an underpowered amp or your DAC.- Chronos

Holo Audio Spring R2R DAC
I had Spring 3 KTE and have May KTE. May is superior for black background, fine details across the entire band, separation, and is overall technically better. Maybe slightly more neutral than Spring but pretty much same house signature, smooth, emotional, laid back, and amazing at female...- Chronos

My post / list of "best" or highly regarded amps for Susvara, was in reply to @jlbrach 's post "that many seem to think 20K USD is needed for a great amp for Susvara." All those amps I listed are highly regarded and often as the "best" and they all cost way less than $20K with some being half...- Chronos

Have you heard the different amps with familiar sources at these different price points to come up with above generalization? I don’t think those price categories or attribute generalizations are accurate. I think if it more of on a spectrum or a curve, rather than weaknesses. Because quite...- Chronos

We are essentially saying the same thing based on what you wrote in the bolded section.
