Has anybody tried side by side and AH-D5200 and Hifiman Sundara or Ananda Stealth? If so, is there an obvious difference in terms of refinement? Does Hifiman clearly sound superior in that regard? Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks, that’s great to hear! Do you happen to have tried side by side with any Hifiman?

A question for E3 owners: when I had my Aeon Noire (which I sold), no matter what the measurements said, I had a very obvious feeling of lacking bass, which made no sense when I looked at the measurements I made with my minidsp. It should have plenty of bass, but I heard it as massively lacking...

Thanks everybody! I’m glad to hear it!

I’m considering buying a Master 19, I’ve seen a French forum where some people mentioned a faint noise (heard from the headphones) with or without music coming from Master 19, has anybody experienced that? Thanks!

I would buy Schiit’s Midgard, it sounds very well with the Susvara if you feed it with a balanced dac.

I’ve posted my brand new ZMF lambskin pads fir Susvara, just im case someone from Europe is interested in: https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/zmf-susvara-lambskin-pads.64812/

Brand new, just tried once ZMF lambskin Susvara pads. Extremely close to the stock sound, slightly more punch and definitely in another class in terms of look and materials. Price new in Europe, once shipping, VAT and customs are added goes beyond 140€.

They look great! What would you say are the minor changes in sound? Also, are the thinner or thicker than the stock ones?

If you find them bright, burning-in will not change that. I would suggest either returning them or trying Dekoni Fenestrated pads; these pads will transform the sound, not a subtle difference.

1.1 m. long cable, 3,5 mm. to 4 pin XLR. Built with D-502 Hybrid Van de Hul cable and Furutech connectors. It’s a DIY cable, built by a friend of mine who makes a living out of making cables for broadcast installations.

For sale is my Dekoni Elite Fenestrated pads, for Hifiman (Arya, Ananda, HE1000 series), in mint condition, hardly used.

I just saw that ZMF has released two pads for Susvara, looking forward to any impressions if anybody pulls the trigger on them!

I’m too looking forward to any feedback of the two new specific pads from ZMF!

For sale is my Sundara 2021 pair. Except for some minor wearing of the painting in the metal, in perfect condition, and sounding lovely.

Great buyer, a pleasure dealing with him.

A pleasure dealing with him, everything perfect!

For sale is my just received Holo Audio Cyan 2 R2R dac, bought from the EU distributor, Magna Hifi. Just tried for two days, USB, coax, optical, AES and I2S inputs, up to DSD1024 and PCM 1.536MHz. Outstanding DAC, but I have a top delta-sigma DAC and cannot justify owning both.

For sale are my Shure SRH-1540 closed headphones, in mint condition, no marks whatsoever. I’m the second owner, all accessories included: two cables, a pair of extra pads and travel case. Pads are washable and I just washed both of them. The closed headphones with the most neutral tuning I’ve heard.

I bought one and sold it right after receiving them, way too different than the standard one, I was expecting a subtle difference but it wasn’t, at least in my opinion.

For sale are two Sparkos SS3602 opamps, used for two months, I’m selling the amp I was using the opamps in.

Anybody knows the input sensitivity of Midgard when using the XLR inputs? Thanks!

It is sold by Magna Hifi and Audiophonics in Europe, Magna Hifi confirmed to me that they have it in stock

Looking forward to hearing some impressions from V2! Anynody bought it?
