Hi
I'm looking for a new HP and is now seriously considering the ETHER after reading the impressions in this thread. I'm streaming Tidal Hi Fi through Auralic Aries and use USB to connect with my Moon 430 Amp/DAC.
I have tried the HE1000, but returned them because imo, they need far to much volume to engage. It's like listening to music from a fare distance, and after 15-20 min my ears starts to hurt. In short the HEK is much to hard to my ears
So here I am, looking for a HP that is organic, rich, musical, engaging, fun and entertaining even at lower volumes. I will happily sacrify the detailing, separation and wide soundstage of the HEK to achieve this
My question is how well do you think the ETHER will benefit from a relatively powerful Amp like the Moon 430? And to what degree do you think that the ETHER will meet my wish list mentioned above?
