Yikes, that looks pretty bad. Are they all that way? How does it sound so good? It gets raving reviews.Someone did a breakdown of a Viva amp. Link for reference.

I did, thank you for following up. I went with the Viva Egoista 845 in the end.@OnlySoMany: Did you make a decision? I'm in a similar spot as you, only my main headphones are Focal Utopias. Considering the WA33, Nirvana, and Envy. Hard to find direct comparisons between them. I'd also strongly consider the Stellaris if the waiting time wasn't so long.

Did you end up finding something for the Utopia? have some on the way so I’m just poking around tube amps, as if my wallet hasn’t already suffered a fatal blow
Due to the high/similar price, I would love to compare this to the Viva 845 headphone amp. To my ears, it is the best I have heard to date.Why isnt trafomatic primavera on the list if you want to go broke
Atrium closed if I had to keep only one. It's by far the best closed back headphone I've ever heard, but can even stage better than most open backs. Extremely natural/organic, while retaining zmf house sound, clarity, and slamming bass. If you have the right kit, faithful to original recording.@Todd https://www.head-fi.org/members/todd.47/ has a special on the pinnacle for $8k this week.
Let me know what’s your favorite Zmf ? Which one would you keep as your only Zmf.
It will be interesting to see if the CC can dethrone the AC as your "one and only". I am listening to the CC right now with the Aegis, and the CC are without a doubt my favorite ZMF.Atrium closed if I had to keep only one.

Caldera comes close. It's a sound equally as good, but different. If I had to keep two this would be the second. Once I receive my Caldera Closed I can speak more to it's abilities.
I'm excited to change my mind! I do have high hopes for Caldera Closed.It will be interesting to see if the CC can dethrone the AC as your "one and only". I am listening to the CC right now with the Aegis, and the CC are without a doubt my favorite ZMF.
