I've been listening to The Composer for a couple of days now and I wanted to thank you guys on this thread for your detailed feedbacks and answering my inquiries!
I was so infatuated with The Composer's speed, deep reaching bass and fantastic positioning, I immediately ordered the travel case, ear pads and spacers!
Wish you all the best and amazing listening sessions with these beauties!
One more thing! These sound AMAZING when combined with the LAiV R2R dac and HPA2 amp!

Looks like a 6th gen aircraft’s spare part.
How do the Composers sound with Valkyrie? Just a quick impression? Thanks!)

I've been spoiled by the LAiV R2R DAC and HP2A AMP stack as The Composers on those sounded the best! The sound stage goes deeper and becomes higher & wider with excellent positioning and separation! No matter how complex the music is, you'll feel it unfold infront of you and you could clearly pinpoint each instrument and its exact position around you. The Composers are so fast, it gets scary close to my STAX L700 but with better and deeper bass!
The Valkyrie is excellent too, reaches around 70% or 80% of what the LAiV stack could do. With DSD upscaling + K2HD and GTO filter enabled, this setup makes The Composer sound very analogue like. Need some extra bass? press on the XBASS and XPRESSENCE to add some tasteful spiciness to your sound signature. Want a little bit more sound stage (but it could add some sizzle to the treble), press on the XSPACE button. Want all of those? You could enable them all
Resolution, imaging, sound stage and separation are very good, but a step down from the LAiV. For a transportable though, it is very good! However, if you don't need the features that I've listed above, the Chord Mojo 2 is very close technically to the Valkyrie if you'll only use The Composers on it.
For me, the top three are the LAiV stack, then the Ferrum Wandla HP with Golden Sound plugins enabled and then finally the Valkyrie (very closely followed by the Mojo 2)

It makes a bright headphone even brighter
For some recordings that's too much but yes other recordings can sound fantastic with SE.

Brightness is good when it also takes place behind the ears and happens there

Ps.Anyone else going to a two-channel movie theater today?

Well yes, I do... my main interest in movies is the black series. Glorious black&white with mono. But I don't use headphones for that anywayPs.Anyone else going to a two-channel movie theater today?
