Does anyone else have a hdva600 or hdvd800 they can test the susvara with and compare it to the bliss? I have noticed the hdva600 seems to have a darker background and be more clear sounding than the bliss. The bliss seems to have more resonance and longer decay. For me it is very apparent, I've been using the hdva600 for a few weeks before getting the blisss.
Overall I almost get the impression of the bliss being tube like compared to the hdva600. It even seems to me the hdva600 has more detail while the bliss seems to fill in the spaces a bit more and offer more of a tube like sound. Just curious if anyone else has the hdva600 and bliss. I also notice it if I use the hd6xx with either amp.
I had the HDVD800 but I did not have them side to side to compare with bliss never tried a Susvara on it. Just from memory.
I agree on the part where Bliss sounded more euphonic, somewhat slower with some resonance, but I don't think the HDVD800/600 has a darker background nor more details.
The "details" might be more easily noticable on HDVD800 due to its faster sounding nature.
The Bliss is among the top performers in detail retrieval in solid state amps, just that the details are smoothed-out/blended in into the music, the Bliss does not present the details on your face but they are there.
