Been looking for something like this since I transitioned from IEMs to full size. I think there was another thread that attempted this. This one is already off to a great start- Chronos

Sennheiser HD800 S Impressions Thread (read first post for summary)
Agree, it comes really close to Susvara for a tiny fraction of the price and minimal amp requirements. It is quite amazing what Sennheiser has achieved.- Chronos

Interesting since I’m debating on upgrading my WA33 to a WA33 EE or the AIC-10. How’s the Head space amp compare to the WA33 EE? I mostly listen with my Sus to metal, edm, hiphop.- Chronos

HiFiMan Susvara
Not exactly the same but I had the D8K Pro LE and its more sibilant leaning (still wouldn't call it sibilant) than the Susvara. I've also heard the Utopia 2022 which is slightly more sibilant leaning than Susvara. I experienced what I thought was sibilance when the Susvara was underpowered...- Chronos

You never answered, but the bands I listed earlier Underoath and Amongst the Giants another member on here listed as negative music are actually Christian bands. I'm not saying you need to listen to Christian music. The point is that you can listen to hardcore stuff that doesn't have a bad...- Chronos

Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
What're your picks for top tier IEM's for running at the gym? What is your overall current top tier setup (including source/phone, any dongles, etc.) for running on the treadmill with loud gym music blasting in the background?- Chronos

HiFiMan Susvara
Funny thing is I just watched the ConvinceMeAudio's re-review of Susvara and he happens to mention how he considers the Mass Kobo 465, Amp&Sound Red October, on the warmer side vs. Zahl HM1, WA33, and AIC-10 as more reference sounding.- Chronos

HiFiMan Susvara
I've owned Bliss KTE and WA33 side-by-side and did A-B comparisons both with Spring 3 KTE and May KTE as the DAC's. I didn't say it doesn't sound great with the Susvara, I think it synergizes extremely well. I agree it drives the Susvara plenty well with great note weight. I also agree its...- Chronos

HiFiMan Susvara
Bliss is not the way to go if you don’t want the smoothed out upper and lower sound. Zahl and WA33 offer more dynamics, more clarity, and you get the extension in both ends. The DAC is also really important for this. Not sure what @smodtactical is using but Holo DAC, Bliss, and Susvara are all...- 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
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
