Hi, I'm here to update some impressions.
The word expensive in terms of sound to me is a very refined but not overly colored sound, pretty much like how Johann Sebastian Bach's music sounds like. HA300 sounds "expensive". HA300's treble is the most impressive part to me. It is very natural and comfortable, everything is just smooth and it reveals all the details I want. The mid range is also very sweet, smooth however it is not like Woo's products that I tried that is very thick in mid and bass, where I think that's why some say HA300 has some SS amp's feature. HA300's bass could be faster and with more attack, it is very accurate but sometimes I was expecting it could go a little deeper.
Well, I don't if it's proper to make a comparison in this thread, but I have to say I tried lots of amps from $2000 to $5000 and 2-3 $7000 level amps, HA300 is so far my favorite. I can't recall everything about DNA's stellaris, but to me these two amps are similar in sound, but stellaris has a better noise control with Utopia(still HA300 is surprisingly quiet with TH900, no humming at all...).
I tried my Uto, HD800s, HE6se, TH900, Tribute 7. My uto sounds just amazing with HA300, it is so attractive, it almost touches the "Utopia" but with a little humming lol. HA with HD800s and TH900 really surprised me, both of these 2 headphones sounds great, HA is able to control their treble, to me HA300 makes them beyond what they were in my mind and brought them to a completely new level. HE6se on HA300 is a little thin with vocals, to be honest I don't know what can drive he6 or 6se to a "perfect" level, I feel they have a potential that sounds better than hekv2, but I also feel there is no amp can completely control this monster. Tribute 7 on HA is a little dark, but I use them for portable anyway.
Overall, I think Cayin did a fantastic job on this amp, HA300 is a very satisfying amp at a very reasonable price. If you are looking for a amp under $4000 or even $5000 please check this one out! I'm going to start my tube rolling this BF, if there is a sale anywhere please let me know lol, thanks!
