I have an original focal utopia and a he1000 stealth and enjoy them both with no complaints. I wonder if this would be something different or better in a meaningful way? Probably don't need another pair of headphones but I like new experiences.

Thanks for the info. This is the IEM I'm most interested in so I'm holding out for it. What drivers are you planning on using, and how many?

When is the Duality coming out and do you have an estimate on price?

E1DA 9038D6K. This a very like new, hardly touched dongle amp. It's supposed to be the most powerful one on the market, but I didn't hear much difference from my thx onyx, so I decided I don't need it. This is the version with only a 3.5 jack. There is a separate, different, model that is...

The dongle I was using is the THX Onyx. But I'm getting an E1DA today. I don't EQ because I don't want things to complicated. The same reason I don't buy a desktop amp. Keep it simple and portable. I don't think the frequency response is the problem. Neither headphone sounds bad to me, it's just...

Hey I have a Focal Utopia 2020 and a HE1000 Stealth. I prefer the utopia because it sounds more personal and immediate, where like you said the he1000 is very light and almost inconsequential sounding. I'm getting the impression that the MR might be a planar utopia. I've heard it's the most...

I'm not willing to invest in a bigger device. I already have a 2020 utopia and he1000 stealth which run well on dongles so maybe I don't even need another headphone, especially one that would require a more complicated system. Have you heard those headphones and think the mr would anything...

I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with a THX Onyx amp and i was wondering if I should get an E1DA 9038D6K to power the Diana MR. Looks like the Onxy pushes 180mw per channel at 22ohm and the E1DA is listed as 180mw at 32ohm. Still pretty new to audio so not sure what to do. More power the better...

Thanks. I only started my audio journey last year but I think what grabs me most is clarity. The utopia sounds so clear it seems supernatural in a sense. According to Joshua valour the diana mr is more detailed than the empyrean 2 so I'm more inclined to go with that.

I have the 2020 utopia and was considering a new headphone but was leaning toward the diana mr. Can you compare the utopia 2020 and empyrean 2 for me please?

No. Sold. Sorry I'll update the post.

What is the main purpose of an amp? The answer to that question was the premise for the video. I've watched Resolve and all the guys from the headphone show talk about this, and these headphones in particular. Comparing headphones, especially these particular headphones, to a full size speaker...

Thanks. I will.

It's not the headphones fault, nor is it my amp, it's your attitude. I don't want to hurt my ears. I also said I live in a small space, and value convenience. Most amps don't color the sound, nor are they designed to do so.

It can extract massive hearing loss. They don't require alot of power so I'm not gonna throw any more at them. The Onyx is one of the most powerful portable amps on the market, and drives them plenty loud enough to cause fatigue.

The most famous audio critic and one of the biggest influencers in growing the personal audio space is Crinacle, and he recommends the Apple dongle. That dongle costs 12 dollars and my THX Onyx costs 200 dollars, and the THX is much more powerful and technically advanced. Also, the focal and...

A comically underwhelming one for the level of headphones I've been buying. You ready? Galaxy S23 Ultra with a THX Onyx dongle. Lol. Part of the reason I went with these two headphones is because they are as good as it gets without requiring alot of power to drive. I live in a small space and...

It is very resolving. Almost shocking how clear and precise it is. I've added all those tips to my cart on aliexpress but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger because they won't arrive till the middle of June, which will be outside of the return window. I'm waiting to hear what my options are from...

Thanks for the advice! I'll look into those. I really don't want to return them because linsoul keeps 35% of your refund for themselves. I could've bought them from Amazon but I saved about 60 bucks in taxes buying from linsoul, and also had a 10 off coupon.

Although the focal slam harder and have an overall thicker sound, the detail and deeper extension of the bass on the hifiman still have value to me. My utopia arrive on Saturday and I will start doing more thorough examination of the differences between them. See how it goes!

Yeah I took off the white they shipped with and put on the black. I didn't notice too much of a change doing that, but increasing the size from medium to large improved the frequency response due to a better seal I guess. The medium size fit perfectly with my blessing 2 dusk, although the tips...

Thanks for the.....tip!? Ha, anyways I tried using those on the IER Z1R. I don't remember how they felt in my ear or if they were easy to apply, I just know they didn't stop the Z1Rs from just falling out of my ear entirely! I would've kept the Z1R if they weren't so dang big!! Seriously they...
