Dude, you will have an EPIC system. I am very happy for you! Can’t wait to see your reaction.

So I'd reach out to @Eric Chong and get good quality 4.4mm interconnect (between DAP and C9). These will play a big role in your C9 system, I advise to get it. I use 4.4mm 6W Iliad interconnect. Some people prefer Plato as well.
If funds are not an issue, I would advise Lotoo Ti as it sounds better without C9 according to Twister. Both DAPs should sound identical if being run off of C9.

Ah sorry, didn't mean to put words in your mouth hahaWell, better is subjective and relative to your preference To my ears, Ti has a more revealing tonality and at the time of testing with Traillii I preferred Ti over original LPGT. But Ti was on loan for a week, and afterwards I went back to my original LPGT. Been using it ever since, and I'm happy with this pair up, so either one is good.
Ah sorry, didn't mean to put words in your mouth haha
I was just going off the pairing notes and to be honest that cube of Ti alloy is alluring.
No worries, with C9 we can push him down the second rabbit hole: headphones.Bro @nimorose
Buy a full set then start from there first instead of buy everything at once.
Else you might get bored very soon....ha
I already have the HD800 for several years.No worries, with C9 we can push him down the second rabbit hole: headphones.
I bought it today guys!! I ordered that like new LPGT from Andrew @MusicTeckDo it today. Don't forget the upgrade cables, interconnects and back up battery tray.
You are all set. You don't really need an upgrade cable...... yet.got interconnects + charging battery tray + 4 batteries
now what up with cables? the ones that comes with the bird are not high quality enough?
Expecting source to really improve this for you.Well, the bird has landed.
I took her for a ride on my mackbook pro + dragonfly dongle via PWaudio adapter.
Source are some 24bit pink Floyd, massive attack, some pop..
And up until now, the impression that it sounds excellent, but far from my HD800.
I know these are IEM's, and I have my c9 + A2 on the way, even several types of earbuds.
the treble is a tiny bit a little high, songs with a leading "snare" like massive attack's "tear drop," higher frequencies
of the snare are have more "presence".
The bass is good, better than the HD800 (bass sucks), not too hard, not too soft. Just where it should be.
But the soundstage. It's not the same experience as the HD800.
I remember the first time I put on the HD800, my jaw dropped, "space oddity" remastered was a completely new song.
it was just: "WOW!"
Right now on the bird, I have the soundstage, I hear the separation, but it's not a: "WOW".
It's: excellent.
I'm guessing that the C9 will change that, as I am listening with a butterfly dongle. And not a dedicated amp.
So room for improvement is there. in less than 1 week, I will know
AFAIK, HD800s will triumph almost all the headphones in soundstage, even against Susvara. However, I expect a well-driven Traillii to be better in some other aspects, like musicality and imaging in sound.Well, the bird has landed.

And isolation. Which matters a lot to me.AFAIK, HD800s will triumph almost all the headphones in soundstage, even against Susvara. However, I expect a well-driven Traillii to be better in some other aspects, like musicality and imaging in sound.
