There is amazing discount on this polish site on go bar and also gold bar. https://www.q21.pl/ifi-audio-go-bar-10th-anniversary-limited-edition.html. The site only delivers to Poland but I was able to assemble transport to my country by a third party shipping company which redirects shipments...

Fast and smooth transaction, everything was ok.

I thought to myself, there must be something wrong. Now it makes sense

I would like to share my first experience with Empyeans. I'm not an audiophile by any means. My current headphones are audioquest nightowl carbon and I also have Audio Technica msr-7 which I don't listen to anymore. I had a chance to listen to some high-end headphones at an exhibition last...

I'm waiting for 45 ohm purple to be made, it should be done in 3 weeks

Please report when they come to you. I'm considering LCD-X as my next cans, but if Tres can be comparable at 1/3 price, I'll gladly take them instead.

I'm looking at SR-2 and Audeze lcd-X. Is it worthy to pay 3-times more to get audeze ? I dont have any experience with planars so I can not say if I like planar sound or not. Thanks for any inputs.

Hello everyone, I'm considering to step up to high-end game with headphones. currently I have Audioquest NigthOwls and I want to try something different and LCD-X are tempting me the most. There is no way I can audition these in my area so it make things a bit complicated as I've never heard...

I really appreciate your feedback. I think both of them would be a good choice, since I'm looking for something different from my nightowls. It can be a bad thing to have so many choices, especially if someone is so indecisive as me.

Thank you for your comparison. Currently I have audioquest nightowls and something I could really appreciatte is more and better bass. So maybe the Tres is slightly better choice for me than XS, but still I'm not really decided which one I'll pick.

Anyone tried new hifiman edition xs? If yes how does they compare with tres ? Thanks

So I did some research on Elegias. Most of the reviews here on headfi are negative. But for $379 it might still be good buy.

Thank you very much for your recommendation. I checked the elegia and it is for 349$, what a bargain. I think adorama is US shop so there would be some import taxes, but still it would be for a half of a price of new pair in my country. And its very hard to get some used pair here. This is some...

Yeah , lot of people talking about them. But I want to step up a bit, so maybe if I find them at a bargain in future I will pull the trigger, but not now I guess.

Thanks for your impresions. I'm still looking for a new pair of headphones and I will add Aeons to my list.

Thanks, I have smsl sp200 on the way so I hope it will be fine.

Can sparrow be used only as a DAC connected to desktop amplifier ?

I'm very close to place an order on tres, but I would like to ask ,how does it compare to audioquest nightowls or nighthawks and also to iBasso SR2. I have nightowls and just want to try something new and these seems very interesting as I read this thread. And also what amplification do I need...

Thanks, I'll take a look.

You might also look at Sash Tres. I havent heard them but they seems to be amazing for the price. Anyways i hope you will be satisfied with Aeons and I will be waiting for your report.

Thank you for your sugggestion. I've already did a bit of research some time ago about SR2. Thanks for reminding me of them. Now I'm also looking at audeze lcd 2c. If you can share some thoughts about them, it would be highly appreciated.

I'm in the same situation, I have nightowls and I'm looking for some complementary headphones. My goal is to try something new. Also, I don't like bright/sparky sound , same as you. So did you find your new headphones, and if so , are you satisfied with them? Thanks

Would like to see serious comparison with earmen sparrow

Are you comparing it to earmen sparrow balanced or single ended ?

Do we know when will v2 be released ? I asked this question already in this thread but with no response.
