The SU-8 has a bunch of sound coloring options built-in. ---

> [@MartinTransporter](#): > > anything special you like? Don’t expect much out of the filters. In my opinion, they don’t do enough to even be available options. I also leave the PCM filter on fast linear. ---

Hi MartinTransporter, I think you made a safer choice with the Elegia than with the Ananda. While the Ananda has this huge Hifiman soundstage. it has a sharp treble peak that can be painful for certain music (and of is not as dynamic and fast as the Elegia). The Elegia has its own issue with the treble: not flat, some treble areas are subdued, though not as much as with Audeze headphones , but this is much safer for me than the Ananda’s treble peak. Hopefully Hifiman will flatten that peak with the Bluetooth version of the Ananda, which they should bring out in the future. (I personally didn’t buy the Ananda because of such issues, but bought an Arya = great headphone, better for me than the Ananda). ---

I have seen the BT Ananda at munich high end in may, but did not try it because of loud surroundings. Would not make any sense. From what I read about the Arya it could be the right one for me knowing the Ananda. @Resolve/Andrew did a very good review and comparison It’s not my budget at the moment but a year ago, I would not have spent the money for my DT1990/660s/ifi xDSD/THX 789/Elegia We will see 🙂 ---

I know that drill. And while she asks how many ears I have (since I don’t, apparently, listen well) I have gotten some curt replies to the “How many feet do you have?” response. ---

My wife’s response to the appearance of new cans is usually, “It looks like your headphones have been breeding again.” When the most recent tube amp showed up it was, “Edison drop by today?” If she ever changes “Edison” to “Fleming” I shall know the jig is up … ---

Thought I should introduce myself here… I’m Rafael, I’m 36 and live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I’m quite new to hi fi. My first DAP was a Hidizs AP60 II, which is now relegated to the girlfriend (yes, I am not married haha) due to my recent purchase of a HiBy R6 (which I’m liking a lot). I don’t have any desktop gear yet, still researching what’s available at my budget and would make sense to purchase. As for headphones and IEMs, I’ve only got chinese stuff as well, since importing from the US costs A LOT more, not only in shipping fees but the dreaded import fee as well (60% if you get taxed!!!). Headphones I’ve owned an AiAiAi TMA-2 (given to my little bro when the headband broke), an OneOdio Studio Pro (given to my gf) and currently a Blon Bosshifi B8 which I chose over the Takstar Pro 82 from mostly reading Head-Fi reviews. I haven’t tried the Takstar, but I’m liking the B8 a lot after switching stock pads for some Misodiko ovals. Now, about IEMs, my first good pair was a 1MORE Triple Driver, which I sold only because of the lack of a detachable cable, a BGVP SGZ-DN1 (entry tier BGVP which I did not like, very muffled sounding and gave to the gf), a KZ ZS6 (which the gf is trying out) and the one I’m currently using, a Tin HiFi T2. I listen to classical, all sub-genres of rock and some jazz, blues and industrial. For my next purchases I’m leaning towards a Hifiman Sundara and a Topping A30 amp or DX3 Pro DAC/Amp. Sorry for the wall of text 😛 ---

Bem vinda. Hope you enjoy it here. Even though in the US we think that Orville Wright, and not [Santos Dumont](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberto_Santos-Dumont) was the pioneer aviator. ---

Haha, well, the Wright brothers were definitely the first aviators. But Santos Dumont built the first plane to actually take flight off of the ground, instead of using hills like your guys. That’s how I see it, anyway. ---
