@eskamobob1. I dont know what you have been reading as that is not in any review I have seen. I also own it LOL. Very wrong info compared to what I hear in the Rognir. Pretty clear from your comments that you Havent Heard it and have a poor notion of it from something you read. All I am saying is you might want to try it if you can because it is the only closed back I have ever heard that stands toe to toe with the best open backs. I really would like to compare the Stealth to it!

Buy the cheapest, apply discount to stealth, return the cheapest in the 15 day return period...

Please don’t do that DCA offer returning customers a discount in good faith, something rare in the industry. Please don’t mess it up for the rest of us.

I won't do that, Unfortunately I don't get to buy the stealth this year at all.
And when I buy it, I will get it through my favourite dealer in order to Establish a long term relationship.

Having a good connection ro dealers is worth a lot in this hobby.

And let's be honest, that 15% discount is available to anyone. Show that to a DCA dealer and you get at least the 15% even if you never bought DCA before

Yes, thanks.

If people do this we will change the program to have a 90 day waiting period for discounts. Yes it’s a loophole and if people abuse it we will change the policy, but Od rather not…

It would make sense to make the discount contingent on a final purchase, i.e. the membership is only fully active once you purchased a headphone that you can't return anymore.

[Redundant due to post above]

I will edit my post with the loophole, please do so with the quote as well

I directly said I was commenting based off review. But also, if you havent heard anyone comment about the tonality you havent looked outside the head-fi thread basicaly at all... Litteraly first two review results on google:

The Rognir has a colored, distinctive sound that feels aimed at those with a particular, seasoned taste. This is not to say they’re exclusively an acquired sonic taste, but in the world of high-end headphones, these feel like they know their audience well and take advantage of what some non-audiophiles might consider an A-typical sound.

That Major HiFi is totally inaccurate, as is the bulk of their content. Wait for a professional review.

 

[musicday]

Will you at least give us the option to buy leather earpads separately for the Stealth? You said are very easy to replace.

Major Hifi is literally cancer. To be wholly disregarded in the extreme.

With that being said, I haven't heard the Rognir and have no idea how they sound.

There were other ways how to get into DCA club, not just by purchasing headphones. I for one got there by investing in the company, so naturally I want the company to succeed. Yes, people will try to scam the system, if money is involved, and the discount is not insignificant. This being said, I would not expect people who readily spend 4k on headphones to do this, but maybe I am too naive.

Sorry I'm not a lemming that blindly follows reviewers recommendations LOL. I don't go around making statements like this

Wonder if DC will be the ones to finally achieve true totl SQ in a closed back. Everything currently is either below totl detail or mega jacked tonality

based on something I've read.

There is absolutely no way to understand how a headphone sounds without listening to them. Reading and basing your opinion from a video or article and then voicing your opinion on a headphone that you've never heard based solely on that video or article is plain silly.

Instead of buying the Stealth as your first DCA headphone for $4000, it certainly would make more sense to buy the ÆON RT first for $500, and then the Stealth at $600 off. Even if you toss the ÆON RT straight into the dumpster, you save $100 + taxes (and shipping is free, at least for me in California). Don't even unpack them and you can sell them for a fair amount.
Or use it for commuting (ah, distant memories).

Or get the ÆON 2 for effectively $300.
