Do you happen to play bass btw? Thats a by bassists for bassists type of record @arftech

Im glued to my Diana V2 daily.
Im pleasantly surprised how well it pairs with the iFi Diablo via Roon every time I switch over from my main rig.

No I don’t play bass but I like bassists that displays dexterity with the instrument.
Sweet. Its a solid record and the mastering/mixing is pretty good. Ive used it to test out bass textures on new cans.
That intro track is tight with Oteil Burbridge!

Listening to my AKG K812, since I haven't listened to it in a while. It's interesting to me that how much I like them depends on which headphone I was regularly using before them. When my LCD-3s were new to me and I was using them constantly, switching to the K812 was borderline painful. This time my DT770s are getting most of the head time, so coming from those the K812's treble sounds just fine.

I really do think these are immensely underrated. The soundstage is gargantuan, with great imaging, and the bass is really in a league of its own as far as open-back dynamic headphones go. It's not quite to the level of a great planar, but I think it's a little more substantial than, say, the Sundara.

Focal Clear, and thankful after I was laying in bed with my Monolith M570’s and something sounded off… and why was I using those instead of my Clear? 😏 Little perfect speakers in my head space… so smooth and detailed without tiring my ears.

Today I am having Stax 404 smothered by an E90 Koss amp with a side of Cyberdrive DAC

How about your HE6se's? Are they getting much use?
