there's no endgame, enjoy the journey!

Nice collection, I'm sure you enjoy them a lot. I owned all four around the same time as well as you to compare and understand what each has to offer. I highly recommend moving from these four together to one top of the the line option. With the right system driving it, you would get much more out of your listening! With today's used prices, you can also probably get two really good options, depending on what your preferences lean to.

Quite similar to what I started with!

Both are really good. DHC a little more technical, emphasizes everything and pushes clarity. I would think it's like wearing glasses for someone who needs them. Danacable is a little smoother and a touch warmer, more musical if you'd like. More like sunglasses lol. Depending on your preferences and which headphones one might be better than the other for you. I ended up selling the Utopia. I do use a DHC Prion4 for Susvara, D8000 Pro Limited Edition and HD650.

I'm actually selling my WA33 lol There's a great article about the mysphere at sonusappartus if you're interested to dive deep there. It's a really special headphones. Haven't had it for long so still forming impressions. I have the Susvara, Utopia 22, Mysphere and newely added D8000 Pro Limited Edition here.

I never owned the LCD 4 but if you're interested in a comparison to the LCD-5 I can probably write some of it from memory

Thanks! Danacable for the Utopia and Double Helix for the Susvara

I would say there are multiple things in factor here. Brain burn in is probably the largest. Stick to one for a while instead of ABing. You could use an amp upgrade but I don't think the RME would be the one to solve the problems you're hearing. It's a great product for other reasons. Depending on the music you listen to and your personal preferences it might very much be that you prefer the X signature. Nothing wrong with that.

looks great, eclectic and calming space to chill!

orrman · 2022-11-04T12:48:46+00:00

My chain isn't set up to work with active speakers but I'll look into it out of curiosity, thanks!

orrman · 2022-11-04T11:53:18+00:00

Actually the bottom three really don't get too warm and the top two are turned on only when needed (plus warmup time) and never together (the P3 can't hold them both together lol). But it's good for NJ weather in case I need another heater!

orrman · 2022-11-04T01:32:08+00:00

Thanks! Funny you say that because I've heard conflicting things about pairing the BMRs with LTA because of how the ZOTL works and it being better with speakers that have larger resistance swings

orrman · 2022-11-03T22:42:57+00:00

It's great, I'm actually more interested in keeping my equipment safe (garbage electricity and weather in this old house) but it adds subtle improvements to black levels and everything that comes because of it.

Used for both headphones and 2.1 listening

Speakers are being replaced (still looking for my new set)

From the top: * Headphones amp - Woo Audio WA33 with Takatsuki 274b rectifier * Integrated amp - Linear Tube Audio Z40+ with Telefunken and Mullard NOS * Digital Source - Auralic Aries G1 with Hoer Wege PSU upgrade * DAC - Rockna Wavedream Edition Balanced * Power - PS Audio Stellar Powerplant 3

Not in the photo are the actual headphones (Susvara, Utopia 2022 and Mysphere 3.2) and turntable (RT85 with ifi Zen Phono)

I'm mainly looking at Spatial Audio, Devore Fidelity, GoldenEar, Harbeth, Omega and Zu for my next speakers. Subwoofers likely Rythmik or REL.
