    Altiat CAL.1H — Official Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Don't get me wrong, MDR Z1R is a great closed back, which scales up significantly with amplification despite being loud when driven by a moblie device. However, i preferred the Cal 1h when driven by the Lotoo Paw 6k DAP. The Z1R performed slightly preferable to me when driven by a desktop RME...

    Altiat CAL.1H — Official Discussion & Impressions Thread

    I have the Altiat Caliber 1H with me for almost 14 months now. Its my go to headphone for portable listening with the Lotoo PAW 6K via the pentaconn balanced cables. Its a nifty portable setup, like a semi desktop listening station on the go, around the house. Recently I have started listening...

    Kaldas Research RR 1 Conquest ($500 Electrostatic)

    I personally prefer the SRM 717 over the 727 A any day. If you look for it, you can find a unit within 750 usd. I sold mine for 650 ish a while back. The KGSS amps are based upon the 717 design so you can't go wrong with it.

    353x drives the RR1 pretty well. It is adequate for RR1s needs. With that said, if you can go the extra mile, a KGSS/HV amp is always beneficial to pro bias ESTAT headphones from my experience and the additional power really unleashes the full potential of these headphones.

    Kaldas Research RR 1 Conquest ($500 Electrostatic)

    Have not heard SR1 so can't comment on it. But in terms of detail and highs, I personally felt it was in the level of stock Stax sr007 mk2. I have been using the KGSSHV and ADI 2 DAC. More power is beneficial for the RR1 in my experience, as it opens up and gives out a very relaxing sound with...

    Kaldas Research RR 1 Conquest ($500 Electrostatic)

    With a decent amp like the 353x or better 717 or even a KGSS/HV the RR1 does much better than a L500 and performs almost as good if not better than a 007 MK2 in detail and clarity.

    Kaldas Research RR 1 Conquest ($500 Electrostatic)

    I posted my take on the RR1 against a modern day planar as the bass of RR1 reminded me of it in the first place. When it comes to reviews I only write a review after trying a headphone for a considerable amount of time, as I think sound signature grows on you as you try different type of...

    Yes I was using the RME ADI 2 dac on both occasions, once as a dac and once as a DAC amp.

    Modern day planars like the Empyrean didn't sound nearly as good as the RR1 did. I had a pair of Emperyan for a month and everytime I did an A-B test I kept going back to RR1. My ex-girlfriend had the same impression.

    Kaldas Research RR 1 Conquest ($500 Electrostatic)

    As a headphone RR1 sounds more like a high end planar with better highs. In brief it delivers clean yet punchy bass notes with a lot of air and at the same time maintains a nice transition to the mids. However it needs EQ'ing to sound just right for my own preference when it comes to highs...

    About the Comparison with L300 limited edition. There is a headfier based out of Bengaluru who sold his L300 limited edition and currently uses the RR1 along side a 009. I prefer the RR1 to the L500, that much I can say from personal preference. For L300 and limited edition I think he should...

    Sir. I reside in the same city Aumkar hails from and was aware of this development which is why I got it. I got it in end of May 2019 IIRC and I knew about it several months back.

    So I received my pair of RR1 Conquest yesterday #2. I played with it for an hour or so. I will post impressions about it as I get more time with it and hopefully will be able to do some comparisons with 007 Mk1 & Mk2 in the coming days. I got the premium version which comes for 650 USD, in a...

    Comment by 'xEcuToR' in item 'Meze Audio Empyrean'

    Nice review. I have been A-B ING the Empyreans' with the 007 MK1 & Mk2s for the last few days and even my second favorite Stax the MK2 is outclassing the Empyrean on every parameter. In recordings with warm tonality, the Empyrean does pretty well, keeps up with the Mk2s but overall they fall...

    Questyle QP1

    Is there a possibility that Questyle will release a new DAP in the foreseeable future. Am still using a QP1R, that I got in Sep 2014. Thanks
