So nice to hear that you are enjoying them. How are you finding the top end? Smooth? Extended? Any peaks and valleys, coarseness?I know this is partly new owner euphoria but I can’t help thinking what an amazing bargain the AR-H1 is at $599. I actually wasn’t much into planars before this, having been a little disappointed in the Aeon and the HiFiMan models like the Edition X (the latter mostly because of how cheap it felt). I was excited about the Abyss Diana but I honestly don’t know if $3K is worth the investment now. Obviously the law of diminishing returns and all that is always a factor but that’s usually when you go above the $1K price point. It’s rare for a $599 headphone to make you really question the high end heavy hitters.
I am also still stunned as to the quality of the design and build. One of the best built headphones I’ve held in my hands - at any price.
