Abyss tried with the TC as well:

Lol I beat them to it.

Has anyone tried the Diana with the Mytek Brooklyn Dac + Amp? Can pick one up used at $1k, which seems like a good deal.

Congrats on the TC! Don't forget, Abyss put around 30 hours of break-in on their headphones as QC before they ship.

Just got my TC today and it's a portable for lack of a better word a 1266 TC. I might like it more then 1266 TC because the bass and everything else is BANANAS! Great now I can listen to my 1266 all day long at work. Only difference is space and bass isn't as huge in spl but pretty close for a tiny headphone. I may sell the LCD5 if this keeps up, don't tell the LCD 5 guys are little secret.

If they did a wider headband with deeper pads that could break a seal maybe 1266 TC bass and space.

Congrats! Thanks for getting me excited. Mine are arriving today, looks like Abyss got a big batch out this week.

What are you driving the TC's with?

I’m using Woo Audio WA5 LE gen 1 and Wells Audio Dragon lvl 3. I gotta be honest the detail and resolution is easier to hear but sounds like 1266 minus the same big bass and spacey sound. So points over 1266 for clarity. Not saying it’s better but if you wanted 1266 without the 1266 then this is the right move. A/B is easy because u think you are listening to 1266. The Woo might be my favorite for Diana and Wells is better for 1266. Both are exceptional amps depends what your hearing likes. But A/bing between both amps will take time.
So I’m cutting my headphones only needing Abyss and ZMF and rest bye bye.

Diana TC in the house - I'll try to fuddle some thoughts together after some time, but for now, it's like I'm listening to the V2 in 8k, so clear but still devastatingly punchy.
