Details?Yep.

So it is OK with enough power?On the Lyr 3 on high gain I wasn’t really able to get the T1.3 to distort in the bass. I would try it on more devices to see if it’s just how the headphone plays with the dap or it could be the lack of a constant power supply. I have spent most listening time with the T1.3 on desktop amps, don’t have much experience with it on portable devices.
Yes it is. Very efficient and sounds great especially on a powerhouse headphone amplifier. Listening via the Burson Conductor 3X Reference to side 3 of the Rolling Stones Love You Live (in anticipation of hearing El Mocambo 1977) and it's superb.So it is OK with enough power?
great on the ifi hip dac 2

Impressions in this thread are interesting! I was originally put off by the reviews when they launched, but there is a good deal on these this weekend so going to pull the trigger, hopefully I fall on the side that enjoy them, from reading the thread I think I will. Going through a heavy rock phase and I think the FR will suit it!
Haha! I saw your name on my email notification and thought the same thing Will post up some impressions once I’ve had a bit of time with them, going away for work next weekend so hopefully they’ll have had arrived by then.You again I am starting to wonder if we are bizarre ear twins. I would be very interested to hear your impressions of the 1.3s. They are a very unique tuning!

That’s what pushed me - $1,500 AUD down to $1,000, couldn’t go past it (even though I had reached my self imposed new gear quota )good offer
May I ask what makes these headphones a sure match for rock? Is it that you prefer a warm and dark tonality for this genre, or something else?T1.3 and rock is a sure match
I'll have a go at this - it's one of the few headphones that has a palpable and dynamic impulse response - you can feel and hear, for example, a bass drum hit - I haven't heard and felt this before. Not only that, the top end is well controlled (i.e. minimized sibilance without sounding dull). The driver appears to be very high quality.May I ask what makes these headphones a sure match for rock?
