Ok here we go baby! I’m stoked. Definitely appears to be in the big box format of the Spring series/Serene/etc.. can’t wait to see the full unveil.

 

[JooLoo]

wonder how much itll be i hope sub 3k

 

[Nighthawk7397]

late october and about 3.5k is what i’ve heard

I spy twin xlr and RCA inputs as well as one XLR output. Preamp?

Also, 12 watts into 32, so does this mean 6.5 into 60 aka Susvara?

The one thing I know about this amp, other than the power and size of it, is that it was 100% made using the Susvara. It’s supposed to be a perfect pairing for it and I’m sure any other headphone you’d throw at it as well

Perhaps XLR and RCA output and two XLR + one RCA input?

I have been waiting for this, pretty excited for it. I'd say from my time from the Spring 3 and May, Holo's "house sound" is smoothness, hopefully it synergizes well with the DACs. I Imagine the bliss would be designed around the hotter-than-normal 5.8vrms output of their dacs

I’m a bit surprised, I thought that it’ll be a non compromise design just as May. Like separate power section, maybe one for each channel. I’m glad that it’s not the case because it would have been much more expensive then.

I hope it has a preamp in it. I wanted to buy Serene (especially now for Enleum Amp 23R and May combo) but I usually have other things to spend money at. I was thinking about buying Ferrum stack but then I realized that Bliss is around the corner and it’ll be probably around this price range. If it has a preamp then it would be perfect.

Then again there is a Serene so it can be troublesome if they are similarly priced. Or maybe Serene will be withdrawn?

This is what Tim said (bold are my own):

The bliss will also be a preamp bit not nearly as good as the serene is at being a preamp.
There are compromises either way. Bliss will be focused being a headphone amp. And serene is focused at being the best preamp, just happens it’s (serene) also a decent headamp but wont be at the level of the bliss.

FYI - Tim is now quoting the price at $2,998 for standard Bliss and $3,398 for the KTE version and will be accepting orders third week of October.

 

[rmsanger]

interesting usually there is a bigger price spread between KTE and non.. There must be minimal upgrades these perhaps just better caps?

 

[kingoftown1]

It's the same $400 difference between kte/standard that the Serene has.

 

[SlothRock]

I’ve heard the Serene volume knob is one of the best out there. Hopefully they’re using the same one in the Bliss as well
