  Hi. I'm in need of a DAP to pair this with. What can you recommend if price is not an issue?

​I currently have the Sony NW-ZX2. I've ordered my SE5 Ult but it won't get to me until a month or so. I'll let you know how I like the combo when it arrives.

Thanks I would really appreciate that.

Had anyone ever tried the se5 ult with the mass kobo 404 amp?

Looking forward to your assessment!  I'm kind of chomping at the bit to order one, sounds like it might be a distinctly different sound signature than my K10s.  Just waiting for my wife to forget about my more recent purchases!

How long did it take to get impressions to them from the states?  You have to send pictures first?  Thanks!

What cables have you guys tried with the SE5 Ult?
 
I'm currently considering a DHC 2 wire 19AWG silver cable, WireWorld Nano Platinum Eclipse 7, WyWires Platinum, MIT Vero Reference, and the Siltech Duchess Crown.
 
Still waiting for my order, the wait is killing me lol.

Let us know how it sounds when you get the SE-5 Ult. Thinking of buying one but I only want to get it if it will blow my mind.

Not that I a huge believer in cable but I have a Beat Audio Prima Donna 8 wire. Like it a lot.

Just got an email from Grzegorz that my SE5 Ult is almost ready, so excited!

Bleep

 

[fiascogarcia]

what is this cable, never saw it at DHC.

New, crazy expensive 19awg silver litz cable.  I really like DHC, but the price on this one....................

 
 
Seems like it would be a "home only" use cable.

Finally got time to listen to my SE5 Ult a bit, and I'm definitely impressed, though I'm pretty certain the ZX2 is holding a lot of its potential back. The Mass Kobo 404 should take care of that problem though haha.
 
It's been a longgg time since I've sold my NT6 PRO so I can't really compare (and it was used with a better setup: wagnus epsilon s amp)

The SE5 is quite easy to drive, but it does like some power. Sounds great with LPG or Mojo so I guess the Kobo will be even better.
