If anyone wants to be blown away when trying the DZ — listen to Mountains from Interstellar. It's another good song from my Sound Test playlist. The DZ sound huge! Almost like I have speakers around me. The soundstage is massive in this song w/ DZ.

Purchased from another Head-Fi'er Used twice Like-new condition Excellent DAC/Amp Black background, lots of power, wide soundstage I have no need for it because I have a Mojo 2 and Woo Tube Mini

I want to buy a JPS/Abyss Diana Superconductor cable Any length Any condition as long as it's not damaged 6.35mm (1/4") or 3.5mm

Follow up: I'm really loving the DZ — so much so that I'm going to be removing it from sale. I have some follow up thoughts on the DZ after several more hours of "break in" listening. The bottom end has opened up noticably, primarily in the sub bass. The timbre also appears to be slightly...

Getting back to the Diana: I have some follow up thoughts on the DZ after several more hours of "break in" listening. The bottom end has opened up noticably, primarily in the sub bass. The timbre also appears to be slightly improved — almost feels as if the planar drivers "opened up" a bit and...

Until the HE-2 of course 😉

Really enjoying this thread. Just wanted to say. Thank you for doing this and sharing your HE-1 journey with us <3

Makes sense. That’s the biggest thing stopping me from Susvara lol. What about the HE1000SE or Arya?

When I had the Susvara for a couple weeks, I used it with my TT2 and, near full volume, it actually was fine for daily listening. I was considering a used Burson, Schiit, or Holo Bliss to place in front of the TT2 in case I need more power. Utopia was great, I just always missed the bass. I’ve...

This is a fair and valid point. In my experience, it’s hit or miss. The Elite I purchased from another Head-Fi’er, for example, was literally in like-new condition and very well kept. I have purchased (and returned due to this) another headphone that was very questionable shape and smelled like...

Meze Elite Tungsten Second owner, brought from Head-Fi'er a few weeks ago, who bought it new and used for ~10 hours Like-new condition Includes all accessories and hard shell case Includes both OEM angled Alcantara ear pads and leather/hybrid pads Extras Meze Silver Upgrade Cable 3.5mm Meze...

My goal is to end up with one headphone for the next 3-6 months. The Utopia was that for me for the last 6 months. So far it's between the DZ and Susvara. Both have pros and cons. For me, the Susvara is cheaper than the DZ, more comfortable, and of course legendary tuning. The DZ sounds like a...

I have mentioned in more than one place (and my classified listings) that I sold my Utopia '22 today. Elite is going to be sold as well.

V-shaped, or warm neutral. Sub bass, detail, clarity and sparkle all matter to me. Comfortable. This is really important. I’m personally ambivalent about soundstage. I wear these all day while working and I don’t necessarily need to feel like I’m in a concert hall vs in my office. In fact, a...

I’ve gotten a few critics and some passive aggressive personal attacks in the last 24 hours, so I wanted to address them. I feel like a few of you guys don’t realize that people who review headphones don’t always keep the headphones they review. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. I also feel...

MR and DZ are nowhere near each other. The MR is in a much lower league IMHO. It definitely has a warmer tuning but the DZ does literally everything better.

Give me some tracks and I'll write detailed impressions for you.

I rented a McLaren once. It was a great car. Just because I did not buy it doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s a great car. In this case, as mentioned in numerous other posts I’ve made, the DZ is amazing and I’m still listening to it as it breaks in. But at the same time, it is outside my max...

Perhaps — they did not have good synergy with my Utopia so I sold the Ferrum stack for a TT2, which I love much more but alas, can barely power Susvara at full volume. — Coming back to the Diana DZ— I've been listening to it all morning and honestly, I am sitting on the fence and may not even...

IMHO that’s the biggest thing holding me back. The Susvara isn’t a $3,500 headphone. It’s a $10,000 headphone if you count the amp requirements.

I heard — but it could very well be like $8,000-$12,000!

Correct. I sold the Utopia today because the DZ is better. The Elite will be put up for sale as soon as I take proper photos. I just listened to the DZ again and … it’s fantastic. The more I listen to it, the less I want to sell it. The only place I feel I can go from the DZ at this point is...

Thank you everyone for the warm praise! I am in a less-than-ideal financial situation and I also wanted to offer some more people the opportunity to try the DZ so I’m taking a bit of a hit and selling them. Let me know if interested. I’d be happy to work out a deal.
