Anyone have any impressions of the Diana TC compared to the Utopia?

Utopia if not for the ergonomics alone.

Have you heard both headphones?

For the sheer enjoyment of listening, I would prefer Utopias. For the maximum SQ, Diana TC is better

I auditioned Diana TC briefly (15 minutes) on the GSX Mini at CanJam NYC. Not competitive with the Utopia in either ergonomics or sound quality for my money. Doesn't mean you'd feel the same way, of course.

I owned both, sold one.

Does the TC have faster and more impactful bass?

No

Nice Saturday morning listening with the Sony DMP-Z1.

Diana TC are surprisingly bass shy.

So does anyone have a profile for a parametric EQ for flat? I have done the harmon curve, and some variants. I have looked at some measurements and tried to get flat. I have also done the sine wave sweep and tried to get flat for me... that was an interesting profile. I would like to start from a measured flat and go from there. Can you help me out?

Single ended I do not like the combo - Z1 and Utopia (I find the bass too much). What volume and sound settings do you use?

Wow thet is contrary to what I’ve been reading. Have you heard the Diana v2? Any comparisons? How’s that bass?

The Diana TC would be like the V2, Phi, and 1266 variants.

Unless you get the air gap jussst right, bass drops away or turns to crap.

Get the gap just right, magic.

I've always thought Abyss should do what RAAL appear to be doing with the CA1A. Have pads with big gaps in them. Control that air gap so everyone always gets the right sound.

Yes i heard but on different gear. From what i remember v2 was more warm and bass heavy but way less detail and resolution.
