What is your dream headphone setup?

There have definitely been some major changes in my setup since I posted in this thread (some of which I talked about here and here, and maybe another post or two in that thread).

Some of those were expected, or at least the potential, based on awareness of a new product or technology, was apparent.

Today?

Not so much.

There are literally two potential releases I’m aware of that, my situation at the time depending, I am interested in - if they happen at all. Otherwise … I don’t know how to get better than what I have (headphone rig wise).

Closer to the end of the month I’ll post where I ultimately wound up, along with the remaining items I will be unloading (there are a LOT), on my other thread.

Basically, owning HE1, Susvara, HE90, og Omega and a R10 would be my dream come true.

I’ve only heard the HE1, and Susvara, but having the last three would be nostalgic and fun. :smile:

I’d be happy with my Grado RS1e, powered by a modest Schiit Stack, strategically placed in the main salon of the boat below, (paid off, and with plenty of cash for fuel and maintenance).

Dream setup would include:

Headphones: Abyss Diana Phi (as well as others)
Amp: Xi Audio Formula S + power supply
DAC: Probably a dCS Bartok + Mscaler or a Light Harmonic Da Vinci
Wires/power supply: AQ Niagara 7000 + Dragon power cable. AQ Earth or higher.
Preamp – undetermined at this time (but tubes, definitely)
Source: undetermined at this time

And if I had the money left over, I’d probably buy the HE1 which honestly isn’t that much money — it’s about the price of a luxury family car, or a Hummer.
