Considerably doubtful. Qualifiers of the trend with planars chasing stat characteristic, nothing touches the TC bass presentation amongst it's wide sound-field and ultimate resolution matching the best stats, you'd likely be asking what does the LCD-5 contend with that the Susvara does not provide.
Too much of a price gap to consider in the same category really.. that said, trying to crown a single headphone as 'best' is just silly lol. The only place you'll find consensus is in each of the main threads like this where each owner claims theirs is best and better than others. That's about it lol. I also don't even really get the point in trying to do so.
I believe that the cable with the 4pin XLR comes with the adapter to single ended. It comes this way with the least expensive option. The most expensive option comes with the upgraded superior $3000 cable.
Hello, I own a SC cable terminated in 4pin xlr, and it’s 8ft, 2.4m. I actually don’t need a cable that long, 6ft would be fine. So if anyone is interested to exchange, let me know…
I Just want to say that I am quite literally blown away by these headphones.
I was not expecting such a huge jump in performance. Six years ago I bought the HEK and at the time they were labelled the best HP in the world……ok it was reviewer hype but they were raved about.
I read a lot on this forum, I don’t contribute a lot as there are far more knowledgable members than me so I leave them to it. I read a lot about once you have a high end HP the differences are subtle.
This difference is not subtle, it’s a huge step up to me. Maybe it’s the advancement of tech in 6 years but its not subtle to me.
It does get you thinking about ….better amps…….better DACs but do you know what right now this Burson 3X Reference sounds amazing to me. Maybe it suits the TCs….I don’t know. I am leaning towards keeping it . Or upgrading the Burson way with the new Soloist GT and then a new DAC would be required.
I am a one to two hours per week HP listener. In the last two weeks it has been 6 to 8 hours per day. I know its new toy syndrome but I can honestly say I have never had that like I have it now.
They are making me listen to all sorts of music I would never have listened to.
I will follow this thread with a great deal of interest.

A lot of new Top Headphones are coming out these past few days. But reading the various comments of those who are buying them, we see that the reference point is always Abyss TC and little else
I am going to throw a bomb here (more for fun but not seeking a heated debate - hopefully not ):
i) $2.8k for Abyss 1266 phi (non CC / TC)
ii) $3.8k for Susvara (3.5mm version)
Priced in USD.. Both are equally tempting, I know ultimately it is down to personal preference and also available equipment to drive each of them.. Would like to seek some opinion before pulling the trigger

My current amp is probably good enough for 1266 (seen user pairing them with pleasing result), but will not know how well it will pair with Susvara until I try it out - it is a Glenn el3n amp.
