The only GT's sound problem is the single end side sounds much better than the balance connection.

The balanced side has bigger sound stage, but the all images and sound itself are stretched to be longer, the sound density became thinner.

The images are changed from small dots to kind of lines, which cause the overall sound a little blurred on balanced cable.

I test this from single end and balanced cables of Hifiman Susvara. If you switch and AB them quickly, you will easily find this.

Does everyone here has same thought with me?

Is the SE connection enough power for the Susvara? I run between 30 and 70 on high gain when pushing my HE6se V2. If so, do You just crank up the volume when using SE to match the balanced output?

How are you connected to your DAC? XLR or RCA?

Yes, my DAC has 6V output option and I only use 30~40 volume to drive susvara at high gain.

I also tried by different headphones like D8000 and Stealth by both cables.

The conclusion stead the same.

Is susvara loud enough on lowest gain max volume and hows the SQ compared to higher gain on SE/xlr?

Nice Review, the linear power supply seams like doesn't improved much on GT

Sandu’s home power source has been cleaned up pretty good, no wonder Hypsos barely made a diff vs Supercharger. I have some really good power hygiene as well, so I don’t think a Hypsos will be a smart purchase. YMMV, but this is evidence that it was a good decision to spend the funds to clean up my power closer to the souce because multiple Hypsos would be too expensive.

i’ve had no complaints with my GT since November, just enjoying it everyday with TC and Susvara with just a feeling of satisfaction. You know as audiophiles you sometimes have a niggling feeling that something’s wrong somewhere that needs to be fixed/tweaked/improved? I don’t have that with the GT. It’s nice to see a review from someone with a depth of experience and multitude of gear who like the GT as much as I do. Would be nice to share a beer over these things.

Now I haven’t decided yet if I like those red accents. It’s eye-catching for sure. But I think I prefer my all-silver look. The red just reminds me of Xduoo and I’m not a fan of those.
