Anyone try the Sine with the Oppo HA2? Considering getting that amp and was wondering how they perform with each other

little update, after 24 hours burn in the bass seems to have settled down and is much less boomy sounds better overall as well, i found the word i was looking for to describe the sound the Sine seems energetic and the PM3 clinical, both have there good points but i just had a half hour listening and it was very nice and fun to listen too ive gone from not sure to Yes, a definate yes

I'm just speculating here, so feel free to ignore me, but based on what I'm reading about the Sine, sonically it sounds quite similar to the PM3. If that was the case, the PM3 and HA2 are supposed to have amazing synergy so logically the HA2 should do well with the Sine. Not to mention the Sine sounds like a very easy to drive headphone so at least you can be guaranteed of enough power.
I'd take the Sine over the PM3 any day purely for enjoyment factor. I was considering the HA2 mainly for ergonomics to go with my smartphone but the Mojo for a bit more sounds like a more desirable option

Do you have the Sine already? Based on what I'm reading, not hearing, the Sine does not sound that much different than the PM3. Is your experience that they really differ that much? I owned a PM3 and from what I read from those who have, or have heard the Sine, they are similar more than they are different.
I have both the Sine and the PM3. They are similar in that they share planar sound characteristics obviously but when it comes down to it I thoroughly enjoy the full, engaging energy of the Sines a lot more. The PM3 to me sounds a little duller and 'boring' in comparison and that's even with a 3 bill Norne pure silver occ litz cable attached. I bought a silver+gold PlusSound aftermarket cable for the Sines to add some finishing touches to its sound, coming in 8 weeks
@DangerToast
I am very happy to read your early impressions - looks like I finally found headphones I could use for years.
Can you please elaborate a bit on a cable ? I see standard 3,5 mm on the other end, but what (or how ?) is it connected to headphones ?
Are there 2,5 mm jacks ? Do you think some custom cable could be later considered ?
Thank you for your answers,
