That's what they all say. Wait until Zach releases a planar that has a diaphragm made of Carbyne.

I am waiting for one utilizing Unobtainium. That will be my endgame. Until then I will just have to make do with a Verite.

That one would definitely be Zach's lightest set ever
There's always a helium driver & balsa wood cups....but I think I'd rather a Verite.

Maybe Zach working on cocobolo estat..
Game over. I mean it.
Unless ZMF releases an estat.
How much can one get for a kidney these days?
Having auditioned a broad spectrum of headphones, including many different Stax models, and owning several planars, I’m quite happy to have a dynamic as my endgame. Estats just don’t do it for me.
The Auteur is my endgame, and will remain so until someone makes a headphone that’s built better, looks better and does the same sound signature better. Good luck with that Zach!

Well, you could keep expanding your collection in the meantime by buying more auteurs - various Ltd Edition woods
If I was a wood collector, sure. As it is I only get to listen to it a handful of times a week, if that, and mix it up with my Elex and mobile rig. I’d say I’m already at overkill when it comes to different ways to listen to musicWell, you could keep expanding your collection in the meantime by buying more auteurs - various Ltd Edition woods
That said, very keenly following this thread to hear of different users’ impressions of the Verite.

If Zach ever releases another planar, I would be all over it.
What he has done with the Ori is simply amazing and I still give it plenty of head time. Fun headphone for sure.

Really, Zach and the rest of the guys over at ZMF are fantastic.
Beautiful box and beautiful headphones.

In my home I am not surrounded by beautiful wood (be it furniture or decor) so when I take out my Auters (Cocobolo) or Ori’s (Bocote) I can look and feel them and it makes me happy (let alone listen ha)Really, Zach and the rest of the guys over at ZMF are fantastic.

Not to get too deep but I believe there is an innate appreciation of wood since it’s the natural foundation of 2 of our most primal needs in life; shelter and fire.
So to have a headphone that not only sounds great to me but also give me an appreciation I can’t quite put my finger on is really special.

Felt the same as you, until auditioning the brand new HiFiMAN Jade 2... First estat that ever did it for me!
Back on-topic, Got my Verite 2 days ago, and so far 25 hours of burn-in. Despite VERY small amount of head time, I can already hear an improvement!!
I have couple test tracks that could sound unpleasantly harsh / sharp, and the Verite out-of-the-box with those tracks was not pleasant to listen to. 25 hours later - MUCH better already. Will serious listen to those tracks again after 100 hour mark, but I am very encouraged already after 25 hours

In my video review I mentioned that I actually put the Verite away after a few 24 hour burn-in sessions,and chalked them up to them just not being for me. Fast forward to now,where im chomping at the bit for my own pair to be delivered.
Give them plenty of burn-in. They change dramatically....in a great way.
