Just one?

Now making something commercial and scalable is another story as there are a lot of logistical problems that come with commercial amps that I don't have to worry about when building one off circuits. Maybe someday, we will see.

"Omigod" doesn't begin to cover this!

Yep, my jaw is on the floor seeing all those beautiful beast in one post.

I can only imagine how insane they must sound. . .

Always cool to hear some behind the scenes stuff like this, thanks! Susvara seems to be "the test" for most amps (probably Tungsten now too), and I think it's one of the rare headphones that scales to stratospheric heights when the chain is right, but sometimes there's trade-offs with amps like Envy - the noise floor is higher and you don't get much play on the volume wheel. And there's been noise issues like RF galore for me with it. Aegis I think is a great mix of power/sound/performance and stays away from those kind of issues, does its thing and runs all headphones well.

And yeah, man! Looking forward to listening. Thanks again for sending.

Yeah RF is a frequent thing with my HA-300 because my gear is near my workstation and router because… that is where I am. The Aegis is literally sitting right next to a router mesh point and I’m getting no disturbances whatsoever.

Absolutely gorgeous!

@zach915m @AnyDave any update on the shipping timeframe for US buyers. I remember a post earlier saying either launch week or the week after hopefully.

As of yesterday when I spoke to Zach, the Aegis hadn't landed in the US yet, but were due any day. If they didn't arrive late yesterday, I believe they will arrive today.

"Chomping at the bit", and rightly so. Shouldn't be much longer now man, and I can't wait for you to hear it.

dht amps are more likely to pick up stuff like that.

Like you wouldn’t believe haha. I feel like this is the last piece of the amp puzzle, fixing my biggest weakness, a great work amp.

Anyone idea when the Aegis will start shipping out? I preordered mine the day of launch and I’m the US.

I was assuming they were being built in the US. If not, where?

Cayin in China

You have to be patient.
They were produced by Cayhin and are probably still en route or held at customs.
Customs work very slowly when it comes to this.
I wish all buyers lots of fun with these beautiful amplifier.

Cayin in China

Ahhh, ok. Thx.

 

[JTbbb]

Agreed! Cymbal hits are crisp. Especially on Caldera - I notice it on other headphones too, but Caldera has that crystal clear peak into those realms and I love how natural they make things like cymbals sound. Interesting it's consistent against your Cayin.

Aegis is definitely the lowest noise floor. As you guys have pointed out, its astonishing really. Sounds like a solid state noise floor. WA23 is next and Envy is terrible, ha! I'm convinced it's power output, at least in part. Envy is 8 watts and WA23 is either 2 or 3 watts.

I agree the Aegis is super quiet, but my Envy is very quiet too with the headphones I use and the correct gain set.
