Still going hard on the Moondrop Para. These things are incredible, and have blown away my every expectation. Even my $1000+ headphones aren't clearly better than these.
For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

Three days into my Focal Elex. I think these are what I've been chasing. Huh. Now to start finding an ideal amp.

Reminds me of early '00s post-rock. Also I can't believe that "early '00s" is already a nostalgic vibe in music.

Out Of AN Ancient World (2012) by Riversea - One of my favourite prog bands, very melodic, laid back, great songwriting, stunning vocals and great musicianship - not bad for an obscure UK prog-rock duo. If I had to pick a favourite it would be between Halo and Eden but to be honest, the rest are not far behind and their follow up album is another classic. When I hear the dross that makes the charts today, it annoys the hell out of me that this band aren't better known, hell, they are not even on Amazon Music, so it's just as well that Bandcamp is a thing. Returned to the Schiits for a bit of multibit goodness and stayed with the RS-1x because these two albums sound godlike through them, though Marc Atkinson's vocals would also sound fantastic through my HD650's.

Audeze MM-100 (just received them yesterday). I am very surprised. Clearly they are mixing/mastering headphones. But the sound is enjoyable and clean and the build for $399 are you kidding me? These are very well buillt. Simple but they have their own elegance. Comfortable and having the cable on only one side is a nice benefit.
Great job Audeze !

Listening to my HE 5LE using the signal chain from my signature, feels like I am hearing them finally hit their full potential, there is a lower mid forwardness that gives them a warmth the HE6 lacks. Many non audiophile friends have told me they prefer them to my HE6

Rockna WLS > Poly > Chord Mojo 2 > Focal Stellia
The clarity and detail retrieval of Mojo 2 perfectly matches Stellia capabilities while sound stage of Mojo 2 is not of TT2 size, it feels sometimes a bit more intimate creating charm on its own. If I wouldn't heard Meze Empys + HEADA (ok, I still could have stayed with Meze Advars as IEMs plus Stellias as closed back full size cans and Mojo 2) with WaveLight or TT2 and Envy I could stay with this setup as my only rig, but I know I would miss the bigger amps eventually
Overall I think this is a great combo Wish Poly was more up to date with wifi technology I Mconnect would really work with it or GoFigure app would provide playback.

Needs a bit higher volume level than Black Pumas album... my recent purchase, perfect for all those die hard grunge/Seattle area sound fans. I'm so glad this album got published.
Maybe Stellia is not the best headphone for this type of music, but it does work quite well just like Mojo 2. I suppose Audeze cans and Burr-brown implementation of dac by ifi or Mojo OG would fit the bill better but sometimes the Mojo 2/Stellia clarity beats all those more exciting/fun setups.
I've found this album thanks to the original CD of "The Fall Outs" Sleep album. Sorry guys, you can't find it on Tidal or Qobuz. One more reason to buy physical media or files
