So to you, this (the Bliss) or the Zahl HM1?I absolutely adored the sound of the Serene as a headphone amp. It was my favourite amp for everything other than Susvara (which needed more juice to sound its best and I ran it through the AHB2).
So if Bliss basically sounds like a Serene but with more power on tap, that's gonna be pretty fantastic. Jeff is still using Susvara as his main headphone I think so it should be a pretty perfect pairing I'd hope
Impossible to say until I compare the two side by sideSo to you, this (the Bliss) or the Zahl HM1?
Yeah HM1 is unlikely to be an ideal recommendation for most people. As you mentioned, it's going to be about 3x the cost, but even if you can get the money for one, there are only 50 being made per year, all of which have sold out this year and afaik most of next year's units are too.Bliss is 3x cheaper, if it's even close, and I suspect it will be, it'll be an exceptional value.
A dealer with a Bliss right now has stopped using AHB2 with Susvara in favor of the Bliss, which says a lot; I may just be using the AHB2 as a speaker amp if the Bliss is competent enough with Susvara, and selling HPA4.
Good, so it is no longer vaporware. Hopefully we can expect some real information and order soon.Bliss is 3x cheaper, if it's even close, and I suspect it will be, it'll be an exceptional value.

How did the 1266 TC go with the serene?I spoke to Jeff about the Bliss a few months back. Afaik it's almost ready now so hopefully we might see it in the next month or so.
From what I understand, originally the Serene was supposed to be both a headphone amp, and a preamplifier. But Jeff decided he could make a better pre and better headphone amp by doing it separately.
The Serene was already far through development, so it kept some stuff like the ability to drive headphones (XLR-1 Outputs have upto 3W @ 32 Ohm full class A, and sound ****ing brilliant), but was focused towards a preamp first, that just so happened to be able to drive headphones.
The Bliss will apparently sound very similar to Serene, but Jeff was aiming for about 10W output power and I'd assume the design might be changed to optimise for driving difficult loads instead of >50kOhm amp inputs, plus of course all the connectivity etc.
