My recent journey has been selling the auteur, empyreans and a couple of amps to help fund the niimbus and susvaraI agree, mate. Susvaras are definitely one level up from the Utopia and the LCD-4. I love mine. I do enjoy listening to my lower-price Auteurs for a variety of traits I like about the latter. That said, the Utopia and LCD-4 are both interesting HPs. I have also considered buying one or the other.
i decided to go from very good headphones to headphones that have a really wow factor for me so the empy and auteurs have gone, as nice as they are
and i think many here, and i was attempted too, are driving their susvaras with an amp that does not do them enough justice. I get a little frustrated, particularly with (you tube) reviewers who want to review all top end headphones with non top end amps only - eg the thx or ifi micro bl.
(As good as these amps might be in terms of bang for buck)
IMHO it does not do the review justice and it is not a be all and end all review that many think it is
I think we need a balanced set up when it comes to the quality of dac, amp and hps we use
that’s my 2c
