2yu is a Frankenstein product and since my use case is portable it’s not interesting to me...owned and tested many of the totl daps... H2GO wins by a sizable margin. Heard it’s great with stellia.

I have tt2 mscaler with sotm sms 200 ultra neo with clocked switch and lps better solution than 2yu... which is a bizarre product.

I just want to know if the 2yu can run on the 2Go’s battery. That would be interesting to me.

But the H2Go is not really portable but more transportable. Or does it fit in your pocket?

A big pocket yes. no bigger than the ex 220 max. Yes it big but I hike with it all the time
So the 2Go has it own battery but the 2yu does not? Seems strange.
no it’s not... 2yu is not meant for a mobiLe use case..

I've just ordered an open-box Stellia and I'm excited to hear them for the first time! :)

Regarding burn-in and the Stellia in general, this video is very informative. He explains the physical basis behind Stellia burn-in at 5:36. I won't be making a final judgment on these headphones until at least 200 hours.

So after our quick talk about my selling the stellias I gave them a listen. My God they are amazing. I might end up keeping these and the z1rs indefinitely.

I've been listening to tidal's playlist "conversion rave" and it's really brought out some good times

burn-in is a contentious topic. i couldn't be bothered waiting for 200 hours of burn-in to pass before deciding on whether i liked a headphone or not.

I agree it can take a little time acclimate to the Stellia, especially if you insist on using the Utopia as a point of reference (I know I was). Because they do sound pretty different in tonality even if they do share the same DNA.

The first time I heard the Stellia was also at Canjam and I was not particularly impressed by it. I sing a different tune about it now, though.
