Using Chord Mojo with the Hemp since a few months, I am more than happy ! 😄
but didn’t had a chance to try any other Dac.
Ifi micro idsd bl is pretty good as well - also for the Hemps:)

I keep on hearing that the ifi micro bl is amazing, want to own one someday.

For the moment I have a Little dot 1+ on the way, I hear that's the one to get out of the little dot series for low impedance headphones. Have a burson audio v6 classic op amp and mullard m8100 tubes on the way as well to upgrade the amp. Will let you all know how it pairs with the Hemp!!

Welp, on a whim and thanks to a price of only $349 vs $499, I just bought a pair of Hifiman Sundara. Should be interesting to compare an entry level open-back planar with my GW-100, GH2 open-back dynamic Grados, my closed-back planar LCD2 Closed and closed-back dynamic Sennheiser HD280Pros!

So...after buying my first Grado (the HEMP) this year summer I bought an RS2e and an SR225e. I use mostly the RS2e For music, and the SR225e with G cushion for my iPad/Netflix.

And for some reason I just ordered a PS2000e.

Little Dot 1+ looks interesting, and if I'd known it was the price it is I might not have half-drunkenly impulse bought the Sundara last night haha. Asgard 2 has enough power for basically all my cans luckily so I think it'll be OK. Maybe that's just me trying to justify my impulse buy :frowning2:

Hope you enjoy the weight of the PS2000e, and I am not talking about bass weight ! When I had the PS1000 back in 2012 they weight and instability on my head was too much too bear and very uncomfortable. I think you should have gone for the GS3000e and after buying them you would be ditching your HEMP, RS2e and SR225e !

The thing is, there is no way to try it here. So, experience will tell. If it’s too weighty, then off to a GS3000e :)

But what’s important is, that these things are personal. It’s a problem for one and nothing for the other. Just reading about in the net will not get me closer to know how I feel.

At least I got a good price for an open-box with factory terminated XLR

This is why I have never been interested in the PS2000e. The GS3000e, on the other hand, is the one I'm really interested in buying one of these days.

Let us know how it fares against the RS2e.

I would also be interested in finding out what you think about the weight.
