I also find the Charybdis comfortable. As for the head and ears, I find the headband, the softness of the pads and the clamping adjustment excellent. As for the neck, 740 grams are felt and it depends on everyone's ability to bear the effort. Having noticed the use of the past tense in your...

My dac Is a gustard R26. Maybe a R2R dac could be a good choice

I tried again the old configuration I used with the Phobos with Heada + hybrid headphone cable but I confirm that in my case the best combination is with the luxman + copper headphone cable. I am really satisfied. I've never tried other TOTLs of this level so I can't make comparisons. I leave...

Yes, with the cables that I have copper seems to be the best way. About cables lenght I can confirm what you wrote. I have experienced the same thing with Power cables when I started to do It by myself using neotech cables. In my case With shorter cables Better sound. I have no experience with...

However I add that I had to change the configuration compared to the Phobos. I switched to copper cable and as amplifier I am using the Luxman instead of an Aurorasound Heada. But I want to try the old configuration again now that I've finished the burn process

I'd say after 30 hours I hear a lot of openness but I have no issues with the treble which I find extended and detailed but not annoying. What headphone cable are you using? Have you tried different headphone cables?

The burning Is very important. After 15 hours It starts to sound very well. After 30 Is great. the highs calm down, the mids thicken, the lows increase. All with a lot of air, fluidity and naturalness. My amp is a Luxman p750u.

Charybdis arrived two days ago. It's burning. For the first impressions I still wait some hours. No more earrings connectors still in mine

With all those beautiful headphones I'm really curious about Tom's opinion and also about Thanatos if he will test the Charybdis in his system and with familiar music. Unfortunately I have never tried more than two headphones together and my experience is limited to the ZMF VC, replaced by the...

Reading your previous messages I was sure it was the munich hi end. IMHO it's hard to make a judgment in conditions like the munich hi end. In my opinion, you have to test the equipment in your own system which is often much more refined (just think of the power plant). Also I think the...

Hi Thanatos, can I ask when you tried charybdis and for how long time you tried It? Thank you

I can't hear anything and my unit was quite noisy especially in stand by.

For all those who have the problem of whistling, hissing, high tone. I solved when I don't listen by setting the clock as external. No noise both on and in stand by. When I purchase the external clock it will be perfect.

As I wrote before di20he + dac section of r27

With r26 I found the same musicality as the audiogd combo with a more polished and detailed sound that also offers a better soundstage in depth. I play the same music with more plasure. I did some a-b tests and only after these tests did I decide to sell audiogd

I Hope so considering the price difference.

I sold Audiogd di20he + r27 2021 for the Gustard r26. I prefer Gustard via LAN over audio gd dcc and r27 dac. I already didn't use the amplifier of the r27 preferring an Aurorasound heada to It.

I totally agree with you. I have had your same experience changing ethernet cables or mobile phones. For example between supra cat 8 and oehlbach stream primus there are huge huge differences. Actually I use a blend of these cables. Oehlbach from modem to the switch and from router wifi to the...

hi, you are not alone 😀 I prefer Amarra over Audirvana or Roon with my setup. In summary, more Natural and engaging sound despite some less detail.

I've got your same DAP and ampli. The line out of the dx220 in my opinion doesn't works well even if my headphones were attached at the a90 with 4.4 balanced cable. Try using a bluetooth receiver like wtx500 and see what happens. The best solution I've found is dx220 attached with optical cable...
