I listened several years with HE-90 but thought many times why it doesn't touch my soul nerves ,i think the same problem is with the new Orpheus 2 nice but not touching in any way and the same problem again with HD-800 not touching at all .I prefer Omega to HE-90 in many ways altough it has a neutral presentation it has a "touching soul" attribute, but 009 doesn't have it and neither do 02 have it but Sigma Pro has it one of the best headphones with right amplification.I have had 5 Sigma Pro's and all sounded slightly different.I find the Omega to be better than HE-90 in many ways more detail and resolution even more neutrality combined with this "touching" element.I don't find Omega lacks anything in midrange against Orpheus the Omega is so resolving that it needs right amplification .Yes i'm happy with Omega/ Aristaeus it isn't perfect but touches my soul and that's my number one criteria.
Out of the T2 I can't think of a single thing the HE90 does better than the Omega. I've heard a positive impression of the Aristaeus + Omega in the past, but it's nice to see it reinforced. Interestingly I wasn't crazy about the Omega out of the BHSE.
