Who said it wasn't?
not me that's for sure
Who said it wasn't?
Back to the sound (remember that?) I am really noticing how much the Diana tells me about amps/source etc. It seems to neither add nor subtract anything from the signal, yet does not sound bland nor boring. Cliched as it may be, I do hear new details in stuff I've heard hundreds of times.
We engineer, machine, and build our headphones from scratch in New York, USA.

You could say Diana has the openness and detail of the 'stats, but less etched, more 'musical' detail....much less wispy, more true to timbre....and add in some bass you can actually 'feel", when it is called upon to do so. So I guess there's no real comparisonSince we've both owned the STAX SR-207 and Koss ESP950, do you think you could compare the Diana to those?
Seems a strange place to suggest an incapability to do exactly this.
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you as well.

That's a wonderful way to sum it up! I'm still only interested in the AB-1266 Phi, but that's great to know.
If you aren't interested in Diana, then why do you continue to pollute this thread with useless noise? I guess thats how you get 20,000 posts in a few years ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have not heard those headphones. My flagship experiences/ownership would be the Audeze LCD-X, McIntosh MHP1000, MrSpeakers Ether and the Sony Z1R. Favorite? The Diana is my favorite 'accurate' headphone to date. But like food, I might still want a burger and fries on occasionIs it your favorite headphone to date? How does it compare to HEK V2 and Utopia?
To my ears, the KOSS is actually a bit laid back in the upper mid and treble compared to the Stax. I find each of those has their own particular sound (as do all headphones).That's a wonderful way to sum it up! I'm still only interested in the AB-1266 Phi, but that's great to know.
so its honest?But I would describe the Diana as not having a particular identifiable character. It does not act as a filter, shaping or contouring music to a certain form....it doesn't put its own stamp on everything. It's a revelation to me in headphone listening, hearing the particular character of each recording.
