I am really enjoying this desk top set up with that Savants! I have been just blown away by how the Savant presents the dichotomy between the male and female voices with such a beautiful/ delicate control.

Thanks, I'm glad to hear that
 
 
 
Sorry about the lateness of my review. Another fellow quit at work and my boss is on leave so I am doing both of their jobs (and mine) so a little strapped for time. Hopefully have something coherent together soon

 
 
No worries, we all get bogged down from time to time

Thanks for the update mate. I hope things work out for you despite the challenges. But like what James Hetfield said: "What don't kill you, make you more strong!" 
 
Really looking forward to your review... especially curious on the synergy between the Savant and Chord Mojo.
 
Take it easy my friend.

I couldn't agree more to your findings. The Savant has a euphonic way of projecting vocals.
 
 
I've been using the Savant as a daily driver and another thing I've noticed is the level of transparency. They don't necessarily enhance the sound of your source but they seem to provide an honest sound representation of its source "DAP". Juggling sources between the iPod Touch 5gen, iPhone 6s, Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, Clip Zip, and Oppo HA-2 + iPod touch combo revealed how different they really are. The Savant made it easier for me to distinguish the subtle differences between these sources. Characteristics such as warmness, coldness, headstage, and noise floor are replicated with ease through the Savant. This is extremely useful when comparing DAPs, AMPs, DACs, and alike. 
 
Just sharing a recent discovery... I've never been a fan of this artist but this track got me intrigued because of Skrillex and Diplo's involvement in the production. I must say, that I truly love this track and I'm not ashamed to make this claim. Listening to this track on the Savant at a moderately loud volume is just amazing!
 

 
 
And here's another one that I'm kinda digging at the moment:

 
Happy listening!

The song titled 'Winter (Warpaint Remix)' by Daughter really exhibits the precision, depth, and speed of the Bass the Savant has to offer. The Savant does all this while allowing for a wide soundscape rich with vocal liquidity and such a leading edge yet natural decay of the treble. Just WOW!!!

Yes! The natural decay in the high frequencies is definitely one of the Savant's strengths. It may not be the TOTL in terms of micro-detail retrieval but it's not far behind either. But the sound of those cymbals are almost as natural as they can be...

My next musical experience with my Savants tonight will be with Adele's new album '25'. I truly enjoy rediscovering my familiar albums and falling in love with new ones while listening to the balanced interpretation of the Savants.

"I was lucky enough to get a pair of the Wizard Savants meaning that the top shell of the Savant is an artistic custom creation of the Wizard. The build of the Savant is very sturdy and beautiful to behold in hand. I got the Two-Tone Amboyna Burl Wood finish. The protective case is definitely adequate and fits my cleaning cloth and cleaning tool all perfectly together. There are more than enough tips to tip roll with the i.e.m.’s to find one that suits your ears too. The cable is nicely executed and is not microphonic in my experience. I should also note that the Noble Audio customer service is prompt, courteous, and generous (in the resolving of a potentially negative experience). I will definitely be a returning customer of Noble Audio."

 
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Savant. I have to agree with you on the excellent build quality and artistic beauty of the Wizard universals. At times I spend a considerable time just looking at the various designs the Wizard comes up with. In some cases I even wonder how is that even possible?

I couldn't agree more @d marc0 ! I always take an admiring look at the Savants before inserting them into my ears and then enjoy giving them a nice polish before storing them again. I have even had people ask me if they were gems before!

I wouldn't be surprised. My wife thinks they're just as beautiful as real gems. This is my current favourite but not for long...
