It's been a month since I ordered my Concerto and StageDAC
I think it might be held up in customs.
My concerto just arrived last week. It took about a month.

Already owning this amp + dtt 990 pro (love this combination ).
I listen mainly to rock/swingy music/blues and also reggae, hip hop and pop.
I'm looking for new high-end cans.
Which headphone would you consider?
- sennheiser HD 800 (1000 euro)
-LCD-2 (1000 euro)
-beyerdynamic t1 (900 euro)
Thx for the input.
Quote:The T1 does well with the Concerto, eh? I am currently enjoying my DT990 600's with it, and wonder if anyone out there have been noticing similar. So much has been said about Beyer's requiring tubes to sound their best, I often wonder if I am hearing the bassy DT990's at the top of their potential. How about DT880 600's, as well? I wonder if the very detailed, slightly bright Concerto pairs well with these fairly high register/highly resolving cans?
The Concerto and T1s do work very well together...no doubt to my ears. But, I still prefer them (and all 600 ohm beyers) with tubest to get the most out of them. I should hopefully have my new Woo WA2 in late next week and as it's an OTL amp, even better suited for the T1s over my MAD Ear+HD.

Mine arrived after more than 20 days. It is usually held up by customs. They take apart all the tape on the boxes and look at what is inside.

I bet the guys at customs are listen to the Concerto, haha.
Jan told me 2 weeks but you guys had to wait 20 to 30 days then that makes me feel better.
Yes, it was your rave reviews of the MAD EAR+HD, in part, that has me thinking that the Beyer's really want (read: not 'need') tubes. I wonder how well a pair of DT880 600's would compare to the DT990's and hope to do a direct comparison with the Concerto, at some point. Feel free to let us know how the WA2 compares to both the Meier and the MAD, when you get a chance!

Is the stagedac->concerto->HD800 a good combo?
