The stuff I find fatiguing… Hmmm…

Beyerdynamic treble. HD800 peakyness.

Zeos’ voice.

The synthetically in your face detail of the Utopia driven from a thx789 / topping POS DAC.

The thought that someone would spend $4,000 on a headphone.

The thought that someone would spend $4,000 on a headphone and drive it with a $400 amp.

The thought that someone would spend $4,000 on a headphone and drive it with a $400 amp and a $90 DAC.

Being called an audio snob for being fatigued from the thought that someone would spend $4,000 on a headphone and drive it with a $400 amp and a $90 DAC.
