Maybe next week it gets a thread in Summit-Fi?I
Doesn't matter in the end. What's matter is it will be an amazing headphone.
Didn't we just get the DCA Stealth as new flagship closed back?We need a new flagship closed back a la Empyrean.
No real leather for the earpads unfortunately for me and some others.Didn't we just get the DCA Stealth as new flagship closed back?
Agreed. Too many headphones are going for overly bright sound signatures and while some do end up with more resolution they're simply not pleasant to listen to. Just got an Empyrean in a few days ago and I'm shocked how much body and warmth it brings to audio without sacrificing too much in technicalities.We just need the Meze house sound that favours musicality over hyper detailed, bright and out of tune TOTL tuning.
Well, thankfully, in the closed-back side of things, more often than not, musicality trumps neutrality.We just need the Meze house sound that favours musicality over hyper detailed, bright and out of tune TOTL tuning.
Would be shocked it they were made on a CNC and it looks like they are not.
I'm guessing the those parts are cast magnesium and the other parts with the texture are milled aluminum.
I think I found a potentially interesting tidbit.
Magnesium is lighter by 1/3rd than aluminum, and the regular Empyrean is made of aluminum. Regular Empyrean weighs 430g, which isn't too heavy, but if you minus one third thats 287g (I could be wrong I suck at math.) That also assumes no heavier magnets being used or any other changes. An Empyrean, with TOTL technicalities, lighter, and comfortable would be a hell of a combo.

That was what I wondered about magnets etc... as wellIf those are the only parts cast in magnesium, I don't think the weight difference will be that much lighter. If it's true that they're going for a higher performing Empyrean with larger power requirements, any weight lost due to redesigning the chassis will likely be gained back with heavier magnets and other driver parts. If I were to speculate, I'd guess the EE will come in around or a little over 430g. But who knows?
