The next thing would be to find an IEM that shares the Rognir's technical precision and musical timbre. Maybe some users have opinions? @Alexzander i think you mentioned the Traillii?

Yep, I own both, so here is the story.
Rognir (bass version non-perf pads) and Traillii share the same low end profile in terms of texture, presentation, quality and quantity.
You receive a lot of sub bass with more linear bass and no mid bass bleed. They do differ in mids and highs though.
Traillii is dryer and crispier sounding with more sparkle at the top end - I think it’s fair to call them a natural-analytical sounding IEM.
While Rognir is more musical one and with just a tad smoothed and a bit more dark high end.

In terms of technicalities and soundstage they are quite close.
While of course you get a more holographic immersive presentation and better sounds placement precision with Rognir as sounds reaches your ears from the outside and not being played straight inside your ear canals.

I would be more interested in Rognir dynamic for more dynamics and at a much better price of course. I don´t understand what I am paying for anymore though the prices has gone up so much the last years though.

As for DCA have not heard stealth but noire was very much as you described. Monitor accoustically dead booring sound though competent of course. Can just fault it for not being dynamic or musical enough.

I got the Ether C Flow and they are actually musical and certainly more capable then my Magni. Huge price difference though and of course not worth the money. Just curious if Rognir dynamic share similar traits to the magni or it´s tuning is entirely different. I tried the GH 50 JM and it was similar to the magni in tone when you really pressed the earpads to your ears.

I will be getting a DCA Stealth soon to compare against the Rognir.

I'll be curious to your impressions - certainly total opposite to Rognir (and even more VC) but they may well be complementary in this sense.

For me the DCA Stealth's really opened up with a good quality full-tube amp. Highly recommend different amp pairings with that headphone.

The stealth certainly would be a good complimentary headphone to the Rognirs if you can justify keeping two closed-back cans.

I for one am devastated.

Is that a reversible mod an owner can do himself, or does it have to be performed at Kennerton when ordered?

Removing the tubes is apparently not so simple. You need to open the housing and fiddle with the insides. I've been thinking about it but not sure I want to risk it.

I shared a simple mod a while ago that actually works quite well.

Thanks. I'll search by your username and find the thread you posted...

The Rognirs are always greener on the other side……

How is Kennerton Gjallarhorn GH40 and Magni mk3 compared to Focal Elegia?

I may have to violate my rule of only one headphone per driver / open versus closed category and get an Atrium.

Nope. Staying strong and not buying a shiny LTD Atrium... Besides I have something coming from @John Massaria which I’m more eager to hear.
