I’m loving the DAC only because I have so many tubes to roll. Keeps things interesting. It can go from very analytical to warm depending on what you roll. Currently using the Phillips rectifiers. But had in the Mighty 596 matched pair. Other DACs I have are the ADI-2, Mytek Brooklyn+, and Mytek Manhattan.
And yes, I have a Primaluna EVO 100 integrated amp that I will be testing with the Susvara in the coming weeks. I’ll be trying the KT120 and EL34 to start. For drivers I have all the usuals, Mullards, Amperex, Gold lions, and some rare ones as well.
Currently letting everything burn in. I’ll be happy to report all my findings.
Thx

My Susvara should arrive tomorrow. I'm currently using the HE1000se as my main headphones and it sounds so amazing to me, that I wonder how much I will gain from the Susvara? I'll be running it off of an MHA 100. I have a screw terminal to 4 pin XLR adaptor if I need to use speaker taps.

I recently upgraded to the Susvara from the SE and it is a big improvement. Keep in mind i'm running the Susvara and SE with an el amp 2 until I upgrade my amp. So i'm not driving the Susvara even close to its full potential. The main differences you will notice is that the susvara sounds more natural, has better center imaging, more dynamic, and better bass extension.
I kind of stumbled upon the Susvara to be honest. I was looking at the LCD-4 but it was out of stock where I was going to buy it. The initial 6K price would have probably thrown me off but once I shopped around and got it in the 4K ish, then everything changed.
That should be very nice. I had the EVO300 for a brief moment. Loved it, especially loved it with the KT150! I had Brimar 12AU7 up front, it was the perfect combo for the Sopras.
The ability to switch between Ultralinear and Triode should be a nice feature as well. I may trade in my EVO100 for the 300 based on your findings...haha

Has anyone tried the Musical Fidelity SS amps with the Susvara? I have a M2SI I can try after I steal it from my wifes office. It drives her Tannoys with authority, a very detailed and clean sounding SS amp. I'd be interested in how the higher end model sounds, particular the M5SI.
Hi guys. I am having a hard time deciding between Susvara and Abyss phi tc. My Amp is the moon 430ha so I think I will be ok powerwise. I have a doubt about Susvara though: do the ears touch the drivers? That’s really a no go for me since once you notice that it ruins your experience. Any comment about this will be greatly appreciated.

In terms of fit you really have to put both on your head for a fair comparison. Whilst my Susvara dust protection do touch my ears, that was nothing compared to the finicky fit of the Abyss on my head. The Abyss simply wasn’t as comfortable, and esp having to tweak the earpads appropriately to -not- have a full seal to get the right bass, was a little too tedious for me (I don’t know if the subsequent Abyss models have changed in that respect).
