Congrats Jose! You'll love the Susvara. I really love the sound of the Susvara powered by my Auris Nirvana. SQ is fantastic!

Totally agreed with Steve...Jose, you'll love them. They are among the very best headphones I've experienced!

What is the going price now?

Seems to be about $4,500

I have a Wells Audio Enigma with upgrades almost to the level of Headtrip and a PrimaLuna Dialouge Premium HP. Both fed by a Bricasti M1SE DAC

You are in for a treat. Ittl be great with the Enigma. Enjoy dude

Thanks guys!
I was in between the Susvara, the Solitare, the RAAL and the HEDD but a good friend of all of us in this site pushed me to the Susvara and I trust him blindly.

Can’t wait to see how they sound with my Axios AG cable.

recall you have the HEKSE previously, look forward to impressions as to how much of a step up the Susvara is!

When you buy a new susvara is there any indication on the box that the connectors are updated to 3.5mm or does the dealer have to open the box to check? Also will the sp200 be enough to power the susvara? I don't plan on keeping the sp200 forever but it will be over a month until I can upgrade to a different amp.

Anyone actually receive their 3.5mm Susvara in this week? I've been waiting for a couple of weeks for my warranty replacement and I'm being told they're in customs. I've also asked for a 3.5mm unit, so don't mind waiting for them. I think the dealers have to open them up to verify.

I just received my Susvara 3.5mm today.
First I want to thank SteveM324 and many others here in this thread to push me over the edge with your comments about these headphones here.

Even just out of the box these are amazing!
I first used my WireWorld Nano Platinum cable and the PrimaLuna amplifier. Since the first note my jaw dropped. The level of clarity, transparency and detail is like no other headphones (except electrostatic) I have (look at my signature, I have pretty good ones) but even with all this detail they still are very musical.
After some time I switch the cable to the Axios AG and they went even one step further. The sound stage open up even more and the bass got even better. There are some songs like Thousand Years from Sting or Sail Away of David Gray that have this deep bass and the Susvara reproduced it masterfully.

In a memory comparison with the HE1000se the Susvara projects a tiny bit smaller soundstage but every thing else is hands down better by a significant margin.

After listening to the PrimaLuna for some time I switch to the Enigma. Same result! Both amplifiers have plenty of power to drive the Susvara to their potential.

Now my problem is what to do with the rest of my collection because I can see the Susvara getting all the headtime.

IMO the upgrade from the HE1000se is well worth the money.

Been awhile since I last demo-ed Susvara

stage wise, didn’t quite appreciate how vocals seemed rather distant on HEKSE, does the Susvara also project a similar presentation?

No the soundstage of the Susvara is much more focus and the presentation of voices and instruments is very realistic.

I was listening to Diana Krall and her voice sounds very natural and with the right texture.
I have a very good and reveling speaker system and these headphones sound very close to it.

thank you

one gripe w the HEKSE was it’s tall and wide stage which to my ears made vocals sound far back and alot less intimate (compared to day Utopia) which I didn’t quite know how to appreciate apart from live recordings or movies

 

[Roasty]

Well, I went and did a thing today...

Coincidentally, I got this set from the guy who I got my first Utopia from (which I ended up selling, and then buying another one two weeks later..). This Susvara comes with the 3.5mm connector and is a replacement set from Hifiman.

I haven't yet opened it up to try, but am looking forward to the listening session later tonight. Am just thinking about another amp purchase to go with the Susvara..

The seller was kind enough to loan me his hifiman he-adaptor and a direct speaker tap adaptor cable to try out. Will be an interesting weekend, trying out the AHB2 and using wa22 and gsx mini as pre amps.

 

[musicman59]

I really like their sound out of my two amplifiers (PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP and Wells Audio Enigma).
If you can find them in the used market you get a lot of value for the money.

 

[musicman59]

SteveM234 Nirvana is also a very good option.

Nice! Do you know where he got his direct speaker cable adaptor from?
