Nope.
Is any truth to the statement that Oppo's PM-3 is close to being the poor man's Ether C in terms of sound signature? or would the Sine or EL8C be *closer*?
apologies if this is off topic.

I owned the PM3 for some time... While a great headphone in its own right (not really totl though) the sound signature is completely different than the Ether C.. The PM3 is a pretty congested sounding headphone with a pretty big roll-off in the treble but great bass and mids.. The either in comparison can sound bass light but it's mids and treble are what really sets the Ether and the PM3 apart.. Also the Ether C has none of the congestion that the PM3 does
I had and sold PM-3s and have and still own EL8C and Ether-C. The PM-3s were nice, but they aren't in the same league. I recall they were fairly neutral, but other than that they didn't make a huge impression. Ether-C are a whole different ball game IMHO.
The EL8C aren't bad (I have just for work as don't want to leave Ether-C laying around) but they don't have the clarity of the Ether-Cs.
To me, the ether c is closer to a Beyerdynamic T1 gen 1 than the oppo.

interesting, as I auditioned the ether C and the T1.2 side by side, I found them to be rather different, I found the ether C 1.1 to rather less bright/sharp than the T1.2.
I preferred the ether C by quite a fair margin, just that I can't afford them at this moment lol
