Selling my like new DHC Chimera cable. This is 6 feet long, 3.5 mm headphone connections and 4-pin XLR that was used with my Susvara. This is a technically excellent cable and rarely become available. Skip the lead times to get one made and purchase mine now.

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.

Which IEMs did you try?

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...

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...

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...

Selling like new Holo Audio May KTE. This unit is 2 years old and has no issues. Comes with original box and accessories. Selling to recuperate some funds. This thing is amazing, especially when paired with HQ Player or PGGB upscale files. Only interested in Riviera AIC-10 or WA33 Elite...

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?

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...

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...

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...

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

Love my May KTE especially with upscaled PGGB files, its truly excellent, but unfortunately I will probably be selling soon to recuperate some funds. PM me if interested.

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.

Friendly and accommodating, traded without any issues and items were as described and per pictures.

What headphones?

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

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.

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...

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...

Probably meant 20k chain including DAC, steamer, amp. The best amps for Susvara including Zahl, riviera aic-10 (previous pricing), WA33 EE, Envy with upgraded tubes, MK 465, Headtrip II level II, all cost less than 20k usd

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...

Or more simply, like with my other hobbies (cars, etc) , just enjoy the process.

My made in Ireland ones don’t sound bright at all. It’s a neutral slightly warm presentations. It is really good at picking up details so maybe people think it’s bright cause of that?

We are essentially saying the same thing based on what you wrote in the bolded section. If you can't trust the people you've found to be reliable when they use the verbage 'endgame' 'TOTL' or 'flagship' to describe an item to be of high quality, then I don't know what to tell you. Of course...
