7hz Timeless vs Moondrop Blessing 2 Does anyone have the two iems to compare the sound? I'm in the market for one of the two. I do generally prefer planar for my overear headphones(LCD5/HE1000 v2) but need some iems for portability. I have a portable amp/dac to drive whichever.

I am eyeing these two amplifiers for my LCD5. Does anyone have any recommendations between the two? I know the LCD5 love current

Looking for a professional microphone to use for recording audio (vocals) Does anyone have any experience or recommendations?

Hey Headfi, Currently running my Burson Soloist 3X to my LCD5 and am looking for something with a little more clarity because of how insanely detailed these are for certain applications. I love the Burson for my Hifiman he1000v2s they synergize very well with the additional warmth that seems...

I am looking for a reliable headphone amplifier for my LCD5s. The Burson Soloist has been great to me but I believe it lacks the current to drive these properly. On high gain it sounds fantastic but quickly becomes muddy and the bass becomes flabby after a few tracks (or one track if you're...

I'm a drummer and listen to a lot of rock. Which headphone out of the TOTL list are great for rock music? I listen to a lot of Tool and similar music which requires a nauseating amount of separation to sound great. I have tried a lot of headphones below 2k and am looking to spend whatever it...

Does anyone have good recommendations for XLR interconnects? I a/b'd my mogami 2549/Arctic Cables Magnus interconnects and I personally notice a massive difference between the two. So now I am a believer. The Magnus is still "burning in" but currently, it sounds somewhat...

Hey Guys, I am going to picking up a new pair of headphones this week. I love the tuning of the Ananda and personally despised the Arya (v3 version). I have read many reports that the Hkv2/SE more resembles the sound of the Ananda. Crinnacle's headphone tier list actually rates the he1000 v2...

How hot is a class A amplifier supposed to get? My Burson Soloist 3X arrived a few days ago and it gets HOT. I mean very hot to the touch. I could cook eggs on this thing. Feels like a hot seatbelt.

Hey HeadFi, I have a technical question. If you own a dac like the d70s with a preamplifier mode, and a headphone amplifier with a preamp/amplifier (Burson soloist) Could running the dac in preamp mode potentially damage the amplifier/preamp combo?

Hey HeadFi, I am currently running a topping d70s and Burson soloist 3X. The Burson supposedly has a preamp builtin but I am not sure if it runs through the preamplifier while on headphone mode. Burson stated to send the signal from the dac at line level. I have been using the setup with the...

Hey HeadFi, I received the topping d70s and Burson soloist 3X today. I decided to demo it using my somewhat easy to drive Ananda, and I’m using the preamplifier in the Burson with the topping d70s xlr out in DAC mode.(as adviced via emails with Burson) Is it just me or is the Burson Soloist...

Hey HeadFi, The standard for mic voltage is 4v but a lot of DACs put out 5v like my topping d70s. Could this potentially harm a headphone amplifier? My Burson Soloist 3X arrives today and I want to treat it well.

How much of a difference is there between an A90 500$ and something twice as expensive like a burson soloist 3X on an Arya and Susvara? EDIT: UPDATE 10/3/2021 I Love the Burson Soloist 3X.

I just recently ordered the Susvara and am wondering if the Utopias compete or if there are any new top tier headphones in a similar price bracket. Coming from the Arya/Anandas.

Does anyone have any experience with the topping d90/se compared to the Musician Pegasus or Ares 2? I am going to be ordering a new DAC this week to go along with my recently ordered soloist 3xp and hifiman susvaras(hopefully I made the correct choice going with them over the Utopias...

Hey HeadFi, I have been debating between the three amps to run off of my D70s to my Arya/Anandas/M4u1/Q701/800s/Clear OGs. (I use the arya/ananda the most depending on the track) The THX 889 is currently 250$, the A90 is currently 500$ and the Singxer SA-1 is 600$. The Singxer SA-1 is the only...

Hey HeadFi, I'm looking for a pair of headphones somewhere between Arya/Ananda (price doesn't matter). I love the tonality and in your face of the Ananda but if it was separated another foot or two it would be perfect for my taste. Has anyone found a headphone that is somewhere in the middle...

I read about a lot of people saying that high-end dacs are a waste of money. If I run a 6000$ headphone with great balanced interconnects, and a 1500$ amplifier with a perfect FLAC file... will a 1000$ DAC be important? Has anyone actually heard an audible difference? Even if it is 1-2%. Is...

Can anyone explain the differences between the two products? Perhaps it is the chassis? Or does one have different/higher-end circuitry? The SU-9 is 450$ and the D1se is 300-400$ more. .

"Maximum input levels (RCA or XLR same) are: High Gain: Max input 2.15 Vrms (+8.8 dBu) Medium Gain or Low Gain: Max input 7.15 Vrms (+19 dBu) Above rules are same regardless of Unbal or Bal output. " Does anyone know if the max input is 7.15Vrms per channel or is it a combination of both the...

I have been A/Bing the Arya v3 vs the Ananda and I do like the Ananda more because of the Tonality. Arya sounds thin and metallic compared to the Ananda which sounds full and alive. Arya is a somewhat similar sound but thinner. Arya has a massive soundstage and separation I'll give the Arya...

I am currently A/B between my Arya and Ananda, the Arya is ever slightly more clear although the Ananda's are EXTREMELY clear as well. The Arya soundstage is massive but I truly enjoy the Ananda's more because the Arya sounds more clinical and less fun... do they HE1000se sound more similar to...

I cannot find any XLR interconnects. Does anyone recommend a company? Looking for occ copper, less than 20awg preferably.
