Bump

Hifiman HEKse in great condition. Original owner. Comes with all accessories and original packaging. Stand not included. Price includes shipping to continental US. For Paypal G&S, please add 3%.

Looks like the hybrid also includes the upgraded cable...

Those pix on that vendor website were up at least as early as last Friday as I had googled the new model to check out the finish.

Our *ELITE* headphone, known for its exceptional sound quality, comfort, and stylish design, is now available in the new *TUNGSTEN* finish, offering customers more choice and versatility. This new version of Elite features a dark graphite grey finish, with subtle silver particles, adding a touch...

Effective March 23rd, the regular Elite are now going to be known as the Elite Aluminum. These are the new Elite Tungsten. Same pricing.

Yes, I'm very happy with this combo as well - although I think between the tone controls, impedance control and the digital filter options, the HA-200 will synergize well with many headphones. I recently added the Norne Vygarde cable and it elevates this combo even further IMHO. The cable...

I only have around 75 hours on it so far but it's very good. I'm using it with a HEKse. Blacker background, more inner detail (vibrato nuances, more obvious reverb tails, clearer harmonics, etc.). Smoothes out the treble a bit (with less hash/grain although I personally never had a problem...

I ordered a Vygarde on Black Friday and was pleasantly surprised to get it last Thursday. Less than 2 weeks.

Hi, in a couple of months the HEKse will be 3 years old. That seems like a long lifespan for a Hifiman product. Does anyone have any thoughts about when a successor might arrive? I'm thinking of picking up a pair of these but not sure the timing is great given that an SEv2 might be imminent.

Great transaction with Devang. Quick payment. Highly recommended!

I'm curious about the HA200 / DAVE comparison too. Also, how does the bass and sub-bass compare between the P-SE and HEK-SE?

Original owner - purchased new from authorized dealer 1 month ago. Comes with all accessories/case - OEM cable is the 4-pin XLR. Price includes both Paypal fees and shipping/insurance. Continental USA only. No trades. Thanks.

Great transaction with Steve. Quick payment and easy to work with. Thanks Steve!

Great transaction - quick to make offer and quick to pay. Would definitely work with Robert on future transactions!

Original owner. All accessories and original packaging/box included. Price includes both Paypal fees and shipping in CONUS. Also selling iDAC-6 in separate ad. Can point you to feedback on Audiogon (longstanding member).

Looks like some fairly substantial differences between those versions of the PCB.

Half of the reviews I've read find the bass a bit north of neutral, the other half find the bass a tad soft. Everyone seems to agree the bass is tight and articulate - the discrepancy seems to be in the bass level. What's everyone's view on this? Hard to know if these reported differences are...

Wheatie?

Thanks for the clarification :)

Nice review but I found your conclusion confusing. You said if you could own only one, it would definitely be the Empys, but then you say you're lucky in that you can own more than one. Then in the next breath, you say you are only keeping the HP-1s and selling the Empys.

Sure, but it doesn't sound nearly as good (runs thru a lot of sound processing code) and I'm not sure it supports the higher resolutions. If they sounded the same, Cayin would not have gone thru the trouble of developing their own. Since they were working on the install problem for literally...
