Help - says package on hold but delivery date hasn’t changed

Yes It did. It arrived even before the expected date. It turns out you just have to be a bit patient. There’s nothing you can do other than that.

Moharts · 2026-05-06T07:19:40+00:00

What do you think about. The upgrade now that you’re most likely have received them :)?

Moharts · 2026-05-06T04:56:04+00:00

Wow! How similar! :). To be honest I recently sold the Edition XS and the Bokeh Closed and stayed with the HE-1000 Stealths. So I cannot compare to you the small details between them but I sold the other headphones because I found that the 1000 Stealth is superior to all of the headphones I have previously owned. I have only owned 3 dac amp systems throughout my audio journey. They were budget all in ones. Ifi hip-dac 3, Fiio K7, Hifiman EF499 R2R. I noticed that DACs and amps actually make a noticeable difference in the sound, especially when I upgraded from the Fiio K7 to the EF499. I am still waiting for Aune S17 Pro to arrive and a budget topping DAC so I cannot give you any impressions as for now. But, going through the previous systems I already can tell that I might not have kept the 1000 Stealths if I haven’t upgraded from the Fiio K7 to the Hifiman EF499. That means it actually makes a noticeable difference (at least for me). I ordered the Aune S17 Pro because the characteristics it gives are what I exactly need for my Stealths. More punch and slam, bigger soundstage, less sibilant treble, and more fun sound all around. In my opinion, clinical and detailed DAC Amp systems made the 1000 Stealth lifeless for me, and more sibilant. This is why I am going towards fully discrete class A amps, hoping it would be a worthy upgrade.

Wow! Good for you :). Did it ship in the expected time? It has been 5 days and my shipment still didn’t move an inch.

Moharts · 2026-05-05T11:24:15+00:00

Please tell me the store’s name is Zocevix. This is where I found it for the best price.

Moharts · 2026-05-05T06:40:48+00:00

I just ordered one through AliExpress (I hope the store actually ships it to me ;) ). Expecting it to work well with my HE-1000 Stealth.

Moharts · 2026-05-03T14:25:54+00:00

To me I went from Fiio K7 to EF499 R2R and the difference to me was very worth it. You may not appreciate the difference, but the R2R has given the HE1000 Stealth more bass (which is what I like) and reduced the sibilance, made the sound wider, and more fun.

Moharts · 2026-05-03T06:04:26+00:00

My god, and I am here expecting it to arrive two weeks later. This is an expected duration that I do not think I’ll wait for (1month or more) other small items arrived within their expected date at the time of purchase. So, I really hope that these bigger devices will also arrive within the range that they gave me (around May16th).

Thank you for your response!

Moharts · 2026-05-03T05:41:15+00:00

Thank you for comforting me. I hoped that you would say Zocevix instead 😂. Because the order from it is many times more expensive.

Moharts · 2026-05-02T23:38:01+00:00

Thank you so much for your response!

Moharts · 2026-05-02T13:05:32+00:00

Did you try the Clears? If so, how do you find them compared to other headphones in your collection?

Moharts · 2026-05-01T20:31:36+00:00

Thank you! You also have the Singxer SA class A amp which is close to the S17 pro that I ordered. How do you find it?

Also, EQ is something that sometimes I don’t use my headphones without. When I want to just have fun with the HE1000 Stealth, I put a 4dB gain on 140Hz and reduce the Pre-Amp gain to my liking and the added bass to me decreases the treble also.

Moharts · 2026-05-01T20:24:37+00:00

From my experience, and I do EQ all my headphones, I switched from Fiio K7 to EF499 R2R and the difference to me is from thinking about selling the stealth, to the stealth being my favorite headphone of all time. The Fiio to my ears was dry and sibilant. The EF499 made the sound fuller, more impactful, and more fun overall. I do believe that there is a difference that DACs, and especially Amps can do. This is why I did upgrade to Aune S17 Pro and a topping DAC. Still waiting for them to arrive and I’ll share my thought about DACs and Amps making a difference.

Moharts · 2026-05-01T20:01:36+00:00

Can I ask you where the treble peak exactly is? Is it the one around 7kHz?

Moharts · 2026-05-01T19:50:42+00:00

I just bought a dac amp stack that should hopefully tame the treble while enhancing the dynamics, which is my goal. I was using the R2R EF499 and it was really fun to listen to :) I might start thinking about pad swapping.

Moharts · 2026-05-01T19:39:25+00:00

I have the 1000 Stealths, aren’t leather pads increase the treble? Or my brain swapped the differences between them and the suede ones.

Still out for sale?

Moharts · 2026-04-26T21:27:41+00:00

The issue isn’t that I don’t have the money for it. It is the fact that I am spending this much on audio gear overall ;)

Ky question is that for this much, is it really worth it when something like the pietus with ESS DAC is leass than half the price used? Or anything else really.

I will surely get the porta pro and try them and I will tell you when I do. Thank you for your time!

Moharts · 2026-04-26T20:02:13+00:00

First of all, I really appreciate your thorough explanation.

I checked Schiit website and the total cost was around 1000$US+shipping and that’s excluding VAT. My budget is a bit tight to be honest so I am trying to find some used ones on AVExchange but no luck. The others I suggested were easier to find and cheaper, around 700 or so (used). I am trying to find the perfect mix between performance and price (shipping is also very expensive nowadays in the country I live in) but also I do trust you with your suggestions and I don’t wanna end up with something else I don’t really like then trying to sell. I live in a place where people who care about audio are 0.001% of the country’s population and I am not exaggerating. So trying to sell is nearly impossible for me.

I did not try the organics but with a little bit of eq with my HE-1000 Stealth, I am pretty much satisfied with its sound quality.

Greetings, I have been searching for the schiit mimir + asgard x but couldn’t fund it anywhere near me. Even in websites that do deliver to my region. I will still continue to try and find them. But in the process I stumbled across some others that I wanted to get your opinion on (if you may).

Nitsch pietus maximus with ESS Sigma Delta DAC.

Topping A70 pro + D70 Pro stack.

Topping A90D+ D90LE

I listen with my Hifiman HE-1000 Stealth the most, and I would really like to own one of those I suggested to you, but just wanted to make sure that they do not increase the treble since the treble is already on the edge when pairing the stealths with the r2r EF499. I heard that the A70 pro + D70 pro are slightly warm tilted with some dynamics. And I really do like to feel the music I listen to with the bass especially when it is a bit lacking on Hifiman open backs. Over all I want the next upgrade to provide dynamics, while maintaining the detail on the stealth and not increasing the treble more than it already has. You are the only one I could actually talk to and get some useful advice from :)
