I was always told that Susvara sounds flat and a bit lifeless as I wasn’t using the right amp suddenly Susvara is flat and lifeless using Hifiman’s own monster EF1000? Do new headphones suddenly degrade the sound quality of earlier “the best ever “ headphones? 😉 No offense to anybody but meets...

Hello Everyone, Since I bought an LCD4 recently I find myself using my 2022 Utopia for specific genres like classical. Therefore I’m considering the idea of downsizing to an HD800S just for classical and using the LCD4 for everything else. My Utopia has a warranty until May 2028, Im the first...

Thanks a lot!

A perfect transaction. Item arrived exactly as described and seller gave me daily updates on the shipment! Please buy from him without hesitation. 5 Stars!

Does anyone have a convolution filter for the LCD4 they can share with me? I like the Audeze reveal settings on Roon but I’m looking to try something different 🙂 Also do you guys condition the pads? What type of conditioner do you use? Thanks!

The first measurements will come from Resolve later this week I’m guessing. Based on very unreliable meet impressions my guess is a slightly brighter headphone that is easier to drive so a lot of people hear that as more bassy or dynamic. I don’t see how the grille makes such a big difference...

Sometimes you have to wonder how Headfiers can ever enjoy any music 😂 Are the headphones $8k? Is the amp plus DAC at least $30k? Is the electricity clean?

I once borrowed a Susvara from a dealer to try it vs my Utopia 22. I also borrowed a Ferrum OOR which puts out a huge 8W at 60 Ohms. Listened to the Susvara from my custom Dynalo Mk2 (approx 5W @ 60 Ohms) then switched to the OOR. There was no difference to my ears. The Susvara sounded...

Don’t forget to make it super inefficient so people buy $30,000 amps for it to bring out fULl PoTenTiaL 🤯

I see an Unveiled in your future 😉 GLWS!

People who’s main source of income is sponsorship money from manufacturers and then claims to provide impartial reviews of their products and never says anything bad ever especially at the beginning so the hype is sky high and a lot of them sell - how much scorn do they deserve? If your main...

You seem to be a bit agitated . It’s only headphones …. 😁 As I said Amir and ASR have a number of faults. We can choose to take what’s sensible from each forum and discard the rest.

I have to disagree with this. If you have a living situation which allows for speakers in the EU for around the price of a Susvara Unveiled: 1: you can get 2 x Genelec 8361s and EQ it to the room and have a private rock concert at home. Amp and DAC built in with a solid cast aluminium case...

I thought it was pretty funny how they described CNC machining as some sort of alien technology that they’re harnessing!! We send programs to machines and they cut metal how we want 🤯🤯🤯

I compared a new DCA Stealth to a new LCD5. The bass on the LCD5 sounded so much better it was shocking. The measurements would indicate the opposite.

as opposed to typical audiophile reviewers who use terms like ''liquid mids'' , pRAT, '' a veil has been lifted 🤢🤮 Amir has a lot of faults no doubt but I prefer his acerbic style to the hype masters who lavish praise on almost anything that comes their way. Suddenly the OG Susvara will...

😂 Amazing, thanks!

Can you tell us when the review from headphones.com will be released? Really appreciate you guys supporting unbiased reviews 🙏

I think if you have a high 6 figure income or a 7 figure net worth , $8k every few years on a hobby is insignificant…. Especially if you’re even half decent at managing and investing your money.

I’m more surprised that Headfi hasn’t measured them…. I’m sure the headphone show will have a thorough review with measurements. Also I know that ASR is not popular here and I don’t agree with Amir on many things but I find his reviews a refreshing change to the gushing praise that is the norm...

Have you seen the main Susvara thread? There are people with $45k dacs and $20k amps . One of the main points of a headphone like this is that rich old men can say “have you heard Susvara with this amp and this dac? It’s amazing and the detail and soundstage is infinite” It’s entry to an...

refrigerator water line tube :D :D

Dear Hifiman, For $8000 dollars: Please for the love of God include a nice, premium feeling cable made with quality materials. Use the best quality leather pads you can find. See the Focal Utopia pads for inspiration or DCA Expanse pads for a really premium feeling vegan option. The...

I’m surprised that this launch wasn’t all over the front page of Headfi with an official “review” from Jude and an interview with Fang Bian….. Maybe it was a question of logistics and timing with Canjam Shanghai coming up. At this stage almost all reviews will declare the second coming of...
