Amplify's Headphone Ranking & Discussion (Ranking in First Post)
Speaking of… I recently got the Campfire Ara, Dorado, Sabre as well as the Fiio FH9, Dunu Zen Pro and a few others and I must say I’ve been really loving it. Some of those multi driver IEMs are quite magical.- LV Spartan

I think I have the Arya v1, didn’t know there was a v2, I think there’s only two version v1 without stealth magnets and v2 with stealth magnets and I liked the v1 more. It has almost identical clarity, but seamed to have more low end. Stealth magnets look and seam smaller and admittedly sounded...- LV Spartan

God thats a hard one, IE900 is a very resolving all-rounder where as Monarch is a multi driver setup that lacks a little in the upper mids. IE900 for my take.- LV Spartan

I think that is true, generally high end mid range devices will get you 90-95% of the highest flagship (think he1000se vs Susvara) with the flagship getting you that extra 5-10%, but nonetheless there are those of us (virtually all of head-fi) community that will pay for the extra 10%. The other...- LV Spartan

Its possible you could have had a defective unit then. Virtually ever major reviewer in the industry has called the headphone detailed, neutral and accurate including a lot of those you follow.- LV Spartan

Same sound signature, but the Utopias are obviously more airy and open sounding and the Stellia more intimate with a bit tighter and more focused bass. However, there is a reason Utopias cost $1K more and thats because they have a sort of unmatched speed and technicality being open back.- LV Spartan

Good comparisons. I disagree the HD820 has a wonky tonality, they are very neutral and natural to my ears, listening to them right now actually. I actually liked the Gold Planar AMT headphone better than the HEDDphone and Monolith by Monoprice has a copy (I think) of it coming for $1k which is a...- LV Spartan

Best AMP to pair with BRZHIFI DC500?
That’s a great choice, but I have that on my main set up paired with a denafrips. Looking for something in the lower price range >$1k for a recliner chair. The DC500 is probably the best sub $1k dac on the market, but I got it purely because of the cost/ performance ratio.- LV Spartan

Best AMP to pair with BRZHIFI DC500?
Just snagged a BRZHIFI DC500 off AliExpress, but trying to figure out a good amp pairing to pair with the unit. Preferably something that similar in size and color (silver) so it looks neat on my desktop.- LV Spartan

Reply to review by 'LV Spartan' on item 'Massdrop x Koss ESP/95X Electrostatic System'
I got mine and paired it with the Sony TA-ZH1ES as the preamp and then swapped the pads for some dekoni fenestrated sheep skin pads and it pretty much eliminated any issues. After those mods, these headphones sounded very heavenly. Additionally, I didn’t really feel their plasticky construction...- LV Spartan
