Headphoneus Supremus
Ive only owned/been burning in my Aten R2's for around 30 hours but I would have to agree with Mr. W Poet here - I personally find the pink filter/gold top to be sublime and have no particular desire to look for other combo'sGive the pink filter and gold tip a shot
. Pink is where it's at for a sort-of balanced presentation on the Aten.
I think the pink/gold set up is the favourite house that whatever magical imps or fairies whisper such magic into my ears, prefer to live in.
I wasn't planning on buying the Aten But....having been locked into a state of blissful R1 Zenith musical 'end game' type delights, and having received an email offering a discount
And having read people's comments about the Aten being 'better' than the R1 well, what was I to do ? :/
Got to say I feel genuinely privileged to own both the Zenith and the Aten.
One thing I have noticed is how different DAP's bring marked different sound signatures.
On an older DX80 I find a wonderfully balanced smooth experience but on the Dx200 there is so much more holographic depth, details etc etc.
Anyway, better shut up before I start ranting but thanks to all the comments here and if anyone would like to buy one of my livers to pay for all this
I would happily sell you one
