Ah, OK...another Serbian gem
I have Auris. I am very curious about your impressions!Cheers!
Wow I didn't even know about Trafomatic. Funny how mainstream amps distract and take away attention. I have to find local dealer they don't have it on websiteAh, OK...another Serbian gem
Cheers!

Yeah. It derives from Norse mythology. Definitely has the Schiit theme. Lol.

Hey guys. Small little write up on my experiences with the D-8000 and Schiit Kara acting as a headphone amplifier strictly.

A question. What would be a reasonable price for a D8K pro? I have a pair that I am trying to sell but not getting much offers.
Your price is already great. The problem is that D8Kpro is a sleeper TOTL, everyone who got one loves it, and the people who never had one will only consider Susvara and 1266. Also the market is kinda down in general. My friend couldn't sell his Empyrean for more than 1.3k recently, that's tough.

Let’s not forget to tally in how many hands it’s passed down from.
I’m currently selling my pair for a lower price since I realize the condition isn’t perfect.
I would’ve actually kept them if I didn’t buy some speakers that I listen to more.
The D8kP have incredible range.
The bass is especially delicious with my Cayin HA3 with NOS RCA tubes.
Slamming, dynamic and resolution. I think that sums up the presentation of the Final.
When I put them on I always think these can’t go… I didn’t realize I’d prefer my speakers.

The tally of number of previous owners besides me is at most 2 as far as I'm aware, and the condition themselves are great as far as I can see. Though I am similarly in the same situation where I'll soon have too many headphones and need to whittle down numbers to fund those purchases, otherwise I would keep them.

Which is a darn shame. I owned a Sus and a TC, sold them both, kept the Final.
Price very much depends on condition/age/number of owners. Market is tough these days. About a couple of years ago I was only able to sell my D8K og for £1600 ($2000) after like 8 weeks of advertising. I would say, og goes between £1500-£1900 ($1800-$2300) and pro between £1700-£2200 ($2100-$2600) these days. If you are willing to wait.

I'm eyeing again for D8000 OG. Anyone knows any other planar which is worth to consider and does bass so well ?
Caldera. Without question.

It's very hard to get listening session with ZMF's and after hearing Auteur I don't see myself buying one of their headphones blindly. I'll scratch the itch with stealth this week curious what else might be there
