Just announced about an hour ago, the Dan Clark Audio Stealth is Dan Clark’s newest headphone and also their new flagship, coming in at $3999.
It also enters the very limited flagship closed-back space where there isn’t a ton of competition so it will be very interesting to see how this one turns out.
Patent-pending Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS) delivers unprecedented high-frequency detail and clarity for the ultimate in smoothness, tone, and detail retrieval
All-new 4th generation v-Planar driver with our largest planar diaphragm to date, delivering exceptional dynamics with vanishingly low distortion for a natural and “easy” listen
Improved driver tensioning system creates a driver with incredible consistency across units
FEA and CFD optimized motor structure increases driver motor-force uniformity and smoothes acoustic flow
All-new auto-adjusting suspended strap design makes Stealth hassle-free to wear
Pre-formed ergonomic strap design spreads weight evenly across the head for incredibly comfortable extended listening
Strap quilting improves comfort and reduces heat buildup
Composite synthetic suede and protein-leather pads offer a sung fit with minimal clamp, with a pleasant touch on the skin
Carbon / aluminum bonded cup design yields maximum stiffness with minimum weight
Folding gimbals allow Stealth to be packed in a compact case for safe and easy transport
Stealth is designed and built by hand in San Diego, California, and is backed by quality and support you can count on
“In terms of sensitivity, it takes around 370 mVrms to reach 94 dBSPL (1 Pa) at 1 kHz.” Jude just posted that so a bit of information there. Not exact specs but its something!
Just so yall don’t embares yourself like I did, dca doesn’t have their own show room so you gotta wait for other local dealers to have them for a demo. They said closest to their location is the source av in Torrance
Thanks. Trying to sort out if driving it properly is going to be closer to Focal Stellia or a ZMF Verite C. Maybe it doesn’t matter too much. Interested in Resolve’s conclusions. Seems I always buy what he recommends. Thanks for the effort. I could not find anything after watching video.
These look like someone ripped them out of an SR-71, so cool. High praise from Jude, but I know his preferences are a little different than mine. Looking forward to @Resolve’s review!
That price is STEEP. Very curious to hear what @Resolve has to say about these. Bold for DCA given the lukewarm reception of his other headphones, but maybe this iteration is the winner. They certainly look super cool!
