You'd probably have to judge them for yourself in your own chain. It seemed the Ananda was more laid back but also had better soundstage, depends on the music you listen to. The Sundara had a -bit- more energy to them, and when I put on some Soundgarden, every time Chris Cornell sung there was...

Thanks for that info! Do you guys use EQ at all? I tried some parametric settings specific for the Sundara, and they seemed to be a nice little notch towards being more open and energetic/snappy

Oh nice! I'm similar in that the headphones setup is not my main setup. But I'd like it to be good, and it's fun exploring. I was hoping to get my hands on a Soekris 1321 as I think it'd suit my chain/purposes perfectly. So cool that you have a Soekris! Just been using this SMSL SU8 and I think...

So I have a ridiculous amount of testing to do :D managed to nab an SMSL SU-8 in addition to the R2R11, I've got a new motherboard so I can slot in my Asus D2X sound card to get coaxial out, bought a Wireworld USB cable to see the difference on USB, and upgraded the Hifiman cables. Yikes! The...

If they were still appealing, you could understand them not being involved in the FIA awards etc. But that's being petulant if you just don't attend after you've dropped your appeal (ie accepted the results) and then still send your lackey to collect your trophy anyway. Lol wtf

I'm sure he was given directive to do so, lots of decisions this year were bizarre. I prefer the old conservative way, but under this new leadership things have obviously changed.

I also fail to see how this was a farce. That was just terrible luck. Masi said before the start that he'd do everything he could to go green in a SC scenario like that close to the finish. All the teams agreed. They all did not expect that, which is not his problem. Had Lewis pitted and Max...

Exactly lol. Rose tinted glasses depending on which incident you look at.

Ha haaa now this is more my lane. Raced single seaters myself and avidly followed F1 for 25 years now. Racing is lifeeeee! Anyway. I was neutral between both drivers, but leaned towards Max just because I wanted to see someone new taking the title. That changed a bit in the last few races to...

Likewise! I'm no authority on headphones but I will give them some solid hours before any verdict myself :) Enjoy yours

I have taken delivery of a pair of Sundaras from Lumous...looking forward to plenty of hours on these!

Yeah nice. I don't have balanced output on dac/amp so I'll hold off on the kit. But the interconnects actually come in different lengths, so I'm going with the standard Hart cable and the 3ft interconnect 1/4" for now, which sorts out my gripe with the "short" standard length. Probably overkill...

I'm going with a wireworld chroma USB 1m length, but just for the sake of science to compare. I'm ditching USB and setting up to go from a separate PCIe Asus Xonar sound card to DAC via coax.

I'm only just realising this now. Doing all I can to clean up and get better USB connection to DAC, but don't know why I'm bothering. I have an Asus Xonar D2X just lying around, but I'm an idiot and upgraded my latest mobo to mini-ATX. So the PCi slot is directly underneath my graphics card and...

lmao

Thanks, that looks good! These get such differing reviews. Some guys complain and say it's microphonic and deteriorates, others say it's awesome.

My only gripe with these cables is that they're only JUST long enough for my needs. It's holding me back on buying just from practicality. I know you want as short a length as possible.....but damn. An extra 30cm would have been great.

Cool! Just when I manage to nab a V1 haha. Curious to see the new Soekris to replace the 1321 as well.

Yeah I'm not a fan of that ASR stuff. Nice guideline but prefer to use my ears where possible. I tried both the Sundara and Ananda (very grateful for that opportunity!) and the Ananda is maybe just a little too large for my head. Not bad but not ideal, and I think it hangs too far down onto my...

Woah ok! Never seen that before... I'm starting to think it could be that the cable/connector doesn't like the temperature when the dac gets fully warm. I don't know. Currently might go with a 1m Wireworld and hope for the best!
