I rember seeing it a long time ago as a "work in progress" development that looked really good and was up to date on functionalities. At this time it should be available I imagine, but I have no idea how it sounds.

I will be purchasing a Dave and Mscaler but my current source might not work. I am Naim Uniti Atom. Looking for a source. Auralic/ Innous Nativ.etc etc. Any recommendations ?

If I had to give something a go, at our office we were happy with SOtM, but Auralic and Innuos are liked among folks paying attention to sound quality as well. I'd narrow my search to functionalities (storage inside, Roon ready etc.) and most likely hunt from there.

I have been searching for some aftermarket thicker pads for the Susvara because the OEM pads are so thin that the speakers touch my ears. I found out that Dekoni Audio has a set in the prototyping stage and that it is expected to launch before end of year. I hope they are thicker and well made. We'll see. - Lee

Lots of folks here like Dekoni pads, so there has to be a good reason for this

Great nwes and i hope to see it soon for the susvara and the he1000 variants ,, there pads are among the best.

Yes, it is an instantly noticeable upgrade. Not "a bit here and a bit there" but immediate jump up, at least that's how I see Susvara vs HEKv2

for a brief moment in time I thought it was more worthwhile to keep the SE vs the susvara and use it directly out of my dave but when I discovered the proper amping I realized the susvara was really in a league of its own and I went back to the susvara...one of the reasons I tend to take a lot of comments here with a grain of salt is that some many reassessments happen over time...I tend to wait to hear others saying similar things

I too, am strongly anticipating the release of their Susvara pads. For better or worse, we have almost no options for different pads.

Yes, folks tend to change their minds in time once initial purchase craze fades. But hey, we're just humans, it's natural. As a fellow hobbyist I'm just as guilty as everyone else

So I recently picked up a pair of Susvaras. I'm now in need of source gear. I realize these MSRP $6000 (although I picked them up used) and that I should match it with something worthy of it. But I'm looking to "minmax" while I build up funds again to splurge on a chain good enough to bring out the full potential of these cans. With that being said, could anyone recommend me amps and dacs within the 1000-1500 range (per unit) so $2000 - $3000 total budget that would get me started?

OK, so you want a DAC and amp as separates?

 

[MisterNguyen]

Yes, that is correct. I would like 2 separate units.

As a sponsor I shouldn't mention our products in this context, so I won't

But as far as amps go, if you'll take a look at last 40 pages or so of this thread, there's a lot of talk about Susvaras driven from regular speaker amps' binding posts. I'd take a look into that.

No, I love y'alls products. I've owned multiple Black Labels as well as an iCAN at one point lol
