Also, I was emailing with Tim and asking about the Low Z and High Z settings and got some additional details about the specs if anyone else is interested:


HEADPHONE OUTPUT


4P XLR Output

Low impedance mode (LO-Z): Output impedance 0Ω, power 12Wrms@32Ω

High impedance mode (HI-Z): output impedance 15Ω, power 2.5Wrms@150Ω

4.4mm Pentaconn Output

Low impedance mode (LO-Z): output impedance 2Ω, power 12Wrms@32Ω

High impedance mode (HI-Z): output impedance 17Ω, power 2.5Wrms@150Ω

6.3mm TRS Output

Low impedance mode (LO-Z): output impedance 1Ω, power 3Wrms@32Ω

High impedance mode (HI-Z): output impedance 8.5Ω, power 0.6Wrms@150Ω”

On paper Oor has about 25% more power. For Susvara tho most important is how much current Bliss can supply to awaken the dynamics and how much bass extension can it bring to Susvara. I wonder if HiZ is useful with Susvara 🤔 it will be interesting to see the comparisons next year once both amps get some good listening time.

Oor has more power? How are you making this?

OOR has less power.

OOR is 9.5W @32 Ohm
Bliss is 12W @32 Ohm

I assumed its linear, it has 8w at 60 ohms (Ferrum claims), but you'd have to be able to measure it at 32 and Bliss at 60 to know for sure, which @GoldenOne did looks like.

Anyhow, my Volot has 16W at 32 ohms, so whatever XD

Amps won't follow Ohms law indefinitely
As you go lower and lower in impedance the current demand begins to be the limiting factor and so the increase in power as you reduce load impedance will start tapering off.

Just for my information. The May with the light color chassis is something "special" for the HK distributor o the new version of the DAC ? Somebody knows it ?
That's just a color they make ~10 or so units of when a new product comes out sometimes. They did the same with Serene.

It's not a new DAC

Thank you so much. If you allow me another question on this matter, in another forum you have on the signature the May/Serene with "Wildsim Edition" (or something like this): is just because you got them from HK (instead, for instance, Magna HiFi) or they make some special edition/tweak ? Thanks for the patience in answering me.

I'm looking forward for reading your review of the Bliss and the comparison with the Serene ... can't wait ! :)

Yeah it's just cause I bought it from Wildism.
It's exactly the same as KTE

I may not be able to give much comparison to Serene as I don't have one anymore. I sold mine to help pay for the Zahl HM1 unfortunately

Not a big problem. At least you could mention this comparison remembering your experience with the Serene. I don't own a Susvara (at least, yet) and so I'm very interested into your opinion of the Bliss also as preamp, otherwise I'll go with a Serene for my needs.

Interesting. Has that been bought to allow you to quickly A/B sources?

any reviews on this one coming soon? I'm sure year end cutoff for holiday ordering is coming very quickly.. I'm on the fence on this one.. .I see some killer used deals for Volots and Soloist 3GTs on here along with a few Vio 550's coming up for sale. Wanting to know if the Bliss is going to be on that level or superior as it's a good $1.5k higher than those used options.
