Thanks for the comment! I just realized Moon Audio is near me so I am going to see if I can demo some units. :)

Hello all, I've been looking at possibly getting new DACs and Amps for my headphones so I could use some advice. Below is my current setup. Current Headphones - HE 1000v2 and Focal Clear mainly, AKG N90Q sometimes. Current Earbuds - Sennheiser IE 80s and Etymotic Research ER3SE Current...

It looks beautiful! Good luck with your listing. :)

Hello, I am in a similar situation where I am looking for an upgrade and I thought Focal Clear looks very tempting as well. I originally thought of getting HD600/HD650 but I thought that wouldn't be a direct upgrade for me since I am using HE5se right now. It seems you can get Focal Clear for...

Hello everyone, Long time lurker since 2014 but my first time posting. Lately, I've been browsing to get some upgrades on my current setup and thought I would ask for advice from everyone. I am currently using Hifiman HE5se and AKG N90Q headphones with EVGA NU and Sound BlasterX G6, which I use...
