MEZE AUDIO ELITE - The New Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone - official thread

[ThanatosVI]

Great info. How many stock cables of the world have ended up on landfill and in the bin. I’ll tap forza up. They might be able to recable my beloved ultrasone headphones. Are they USA based? I’m in U.K.

They are in poland.

Mee too, after putting them into the right place in my mind. Recommended for all newcomers. Unfortunately not all of them can be warned in advance.

Forza is great, and is in Europe.

Good contrast to the overly-earnest commentary we often see -- yes, I am pointing at the mirror.

But I do wonder if he's spent much time with the Elite.

Does anyone have an email contact for our friends at forza. I don’t do Facebook and would like to ask them about synergy and find out more. They seem very reasonably priced and a hard working team, cheers

For those curious about Elite hybrid pads on the OG Empys, I made a brief review here

 

[Ichos]

I am finally having a couple of quality hours away from reviewing, just listening to my favorite music.

ZEN Stream->Denafrips Gaia->Denafrips Venus II->Feliks Euforia->Meze Elite

My vocabulary is too limited to describe the experience....

Make it as simple as you can.

Just do it. ^^

Pure, undiluted music listening experience.
Timbre and tonality sound scarily real.

how does the euforia pair with the elite? How does it compared to a solid state amp? I'm contemplating my next purchase being the euforia for the elite, just want some feedback, haha.

Great, it adds more body, holography, timbre and texture.
Combined with an equally talented DAC then you get close to reality, at least when we are talking instruments in a concert hall.
But you can get almost there with a good analogue sounding solid state amps like for example the likes from FLUX.

Does the Elite present a fuller bodied sound than the Susvara?

My impression was that it had elevated midbass compared to the Susvara, which might translate to "fuller bodied" for some. Overall, the Elite had less resolution and a smaller soundstage than Susvara, and while the differences were not massive, I still think the Susvara is the clear choice, even adjusted for the cost differential. To these ears, anyway.

The Elite is significantly more sensitive, which might be a factor to someone without a robust amp.

The Susvara is a bit to lean for my tastes. I understand the Elite having a Susvara like airy sound (perhaps slightly less) which is perhaps weightier- and I want to confirm if this is the perception of others....
