The Sennheiser Orpheus 2? A First Look At The Sennheiser HE-1 (The New Orpheus)
I've done this when the Sennheiser tubes were over a year wait during covid. Found 6 matched pair of Mullard (or maybe a different brand) that I listened to for a good 6 months. The system definitely did not sound the same. I actually heard distortion that I never heard from the stock tubes...- onlychild

Pictures Of Your High End System II (Same Rules Apply)
I definitely didn't start with this. One of the curses of being on Head-fi since 2008 and upgrading throughout the years. Honestly, Ive seen plenty of setups with multiple headphones, amps, preamps, where you are approaching the same value. I'm definitely in the one headphone only category.- onlychild

Headphones only for now, but will eventually be moved to a 2 channel system when the kids are a little older. Before this setup, I was running a Dave/DC4/Mscaler/Riviera AFC-10/Susvara, multiple power cords, High Fidelity Cables interconnects, etc, etc and was able to sell everything for a 2nd...- onlychild

HIFIMAN Shangri-La: The New Electrostatic Headphones From HIFIMAN
I stand corrected, thanks, always learning. So the variable signal is variable based on where the volume is set, but once the volume is set, then it is no longer variable, correct? When the amp is not in the ear cups, the signal passing through the headphone cable is variable depending on the...- onlychild

HIFIMAN Shangri-La: The New Electrostatic Headphones From HIFIMAN
When I first got the HE-1, I still had my Chord DAVE DAC with Sean Jacobs DC4 power supply and a Schrodered set (double pair) of High Fidelity Cables pro RCA’s so the very top of the line DAC and cable setup. For many months, I went back and forth between internal HE-1 DAC and the external DAC...- onlychild

The Sennheiser Orpheus 2? A First Look At The Sennheiser HE-1 (The New Orpheus)
I too prefer the internal dac of HE-1 vs something like the Chord DAVE with DC4 LPS. Everything just sounds more “real” with the HE-1 dac. My opinion is that you are better off upgrading the source (e.g. dedicated server vs something like a MacBook) instead of using a different DAC.- onlychild

The Sennheiser Orpheus 2? A First Look At The Sennheiser HE-1 (The New Orpheus)
The HE-1 sounds very different depending on which power cable and source is feeding it. It sounds like two different systems to me when fed by a Sablon King power cord vs a High Fidelity Cables Pro power cord. This is an excellent way to tune the HE-1 system to your liking. If the dealer is...- onlychild

They are made by Sennheiser and can only be purchased by HE-1 owners. If one goes bad, you have to replace all 8. They also come in a box in numerical order and need to be installed in that order.- onlychild

It is. I prefer the internal dac of HE-1 vs Dave but only after giving the HE-1 proper power and proper source. (TT7/HFC Pro power cord and Extreme server).- onlychild
