While that's your preference, you're likely not confused on meaning when you hear "soundstage" in reference to the verite on this forum about headphones. Just making the point that there's so much in audiophilia to quibble about, as long as a term's context is clear, we should leave sleeping dogs lie.*

*As a side note, I prefer people pronounce forte - a person's skill - properly ("fort"), and say "nauseated" - you feel sick - rather than nauseous (you make other people sick), but I usually don't correct them because (a.) it's annoying to be corrected, and (b.) I get what they mean, and (c.) it's usually kinda humorous even if only to me

You have a point there.

Done, have a happy and blessed New Year!

Ok, so after having been able to listen to the Verite on the Cavalli/Monotprice Liquid Platinum, I felt that I had to somewhat rewrite my earlier impressions about the Verite, which are linked here and here. The sections that I changed a bit were Overall Sound Signature (in the 1st post), Noteworthy aspects of the Verite (on the 1st post), the end/conclusions part of the 1st post, and Verite vs. Auteur (on the 2nd comparisons post).

Basically, I don't feel that the Verite is as dark of a headphone as I initially thought. Rather, if you use the right amp and DAC, I feel the Verite is a warm headphone, but it's not one where you'll be suffocating under its warmth. Off of the top of my head, the Verite is about as warm as the HD650, though take that with a grain of salt as I haven't heard the HD650 recently.

So yeah, the Verite will definitely scale and reflect what your audio chain sounds like.

Yeah,I didnt find it dark in the least,even with an R2R DAC and tubes. Warm,yes. Dark,no.

Looks like we got some assembly going folks! Woohoo

 

[Viper2005]

And some pending ones moved to sanding!

May be a weird question to ask about a $2400 headphone but for those who heard the verite. Do you think it would be good for gaming too? Positional queues and soundstage wise?

 

[Monsterzero]

Im not sure,but I was listening to some gaming footage last night on YouTube thru my Auteurs and was thoroughly impressed.

If 30+ hours of Overwatch and Destiny 2 on the Verite counts for anything, then yes, they are good for gaming.

Positional queues were easy to pick up on, and they weren't fatiguing despite the constant sound of guns going off.

Look what showed up today and the listen off begins between the Auteurs .

A broken image link? Nice! Can't wait to get mine.

Finally auditioned Verite, it's quite breathtaking piece of gear. Really fast drivers, very musical, fantastic with large orchestral pieces with the width and depth of staging... Treble not as sparkling as Utopia, but blends really beautifully with mids and bass... Utopia can sound quite clinical/studio like but Verite gives sense of liveliness and slightly longer decay like sounds we normally hear.

For the price what Verite can do, it blows lots of other similar or higher priced competition away.....
