When did you order the headphones? I'm on September 19th.
September 1st.
When did you order the headphones? I'm on September 19th.
We are shipping daily, demand has been very high so there’s a backlog.
Sounds fine on M8 turbo gain. Volume usually loud enough around 60-70/100Does it sounds out of a Shanling M8 great? I do not need a closed back for my listening room to use it with Niimbus. I want something to hear in the garden.
I know what you meanMaybe the word I am looking for is "meatier." The TC is meatier than the Susvara which is airier (smaller soundstage but airier presentation). By the way- never said the Susvara is thin sounding. I said thinner than the TC.
I can't believe everyone else does not hear it like this. It is so clear to me. I guess all our perceptions are different.
We try to keep it so lead time is fairly consistent regardless of where you shop but obviously we can't control or track how much backorder specific partners have. Our backorder is going up to three weeks, we can't keep up.Thanks for the input. Congrats on the immediate success!
I noticed that your site states an order requires two weeks to fulfill. Do orders direct from DCA take priority over other vendors?
I ordered a pair September 1st from another store well known to this board.
Make every day a fun day filled with music and friendship!

It is really unfortunate, isn't it. This incredible HP has been bashed by some just because it is not their favorite presentation. The suggested "better" closed back Rögnir ruins the mids, especially female vocals. One of my first posts was about hearing a breathing from my wife's album that I heard so many times, at different stages. I listened to even death metal with it, like old Morbid Angel, and even with such a music I was able to understand the lyrics clearer.It's really unfortunate that the macro-dynamics impressions these left on some have consumed this thread instead of talk of how these present details in the most natural way. I had another late night of listening and, I'm pretty confidently adding these to my faves list in my signature below. They are never fatiguing, yet I am hearing details, especially in the midrange that no other headphone have brought out before. Vocals are this headphones strong point, IMO. Not only can you hear the vocal track extremely clearly, including when the track cuts in and out, any hiss or other noise picked up by the microphone can immediately be heard. I am understanding lyrics way better than I ever have. Not only that, the singers facial expression, their breath, expression, vibrato, and most of all EMOTION are conveyed in a jaw-dropping manner that makes me want to listen more and more. I know I keep pointing out the midrange, but bass and treble are also presented in a very refined manner. Due to the midrange being the highlight, you notice less details of the bass and treble, but they're there, just never in your face. As with most DCA headphones, these take a while to truly appreciate and I believe I hit that last night. I will be adding these to my collection (and can't wait to try the open back version).
There’s a noticeable difference between the noire and the Stealth. The stealth feels more open, with more layering and detail. I haven’t done a proper comparison but I have owned the Noire for quite sometime. Stealth is definitely and noticeably “better” but the Noire has a more consistent sound presentation. As mentioned before the Stealth vary a lot on how they present music depending on the specific track, Noire have a more consistent and predictable presentation.Has there been any comparisons with the Aeon 2 Noire?
I'm stealth-curious, but I don't think I'll take the risk if this is just a slightly improved Noire (which I have and classify as good enough, but no better.
