Congrats buddy!! We’re all living vicariously through you right now! Glad it arrived safe and sound.

I feel you completely. This was a project 18 months in the actual “making” plus about a year more researching, debating, considering, etc. No small decision, but one I am completely satisfied with. :slight_smile:

Congrats man! That’s one hell of a wait. I’d love to upgrade to the stellaris one day but that wait is the biggest hurdle to me.

Congrats! What others were you considering? What made you go with the Stellaris at the end?

Never seen this amp, but looks super cool! Can’t wait to hear reports on how it sounds :slight_smile:

Thanks! That’s because it’s a new design (2nd produced so far) by @A2029 :wink: I’ll start a thread later to post some impressions/more details. So far it sounds awesome and is a huge step up from the BHC, definitely TOTL OTL territory.

Nice pictures and a big congratulations. It is the widest sounding headphone you can get. Absolute world beaters. I’ve had my original HD 800 for 12 years now. :slight_smile:

I hardly use IEMs anymore but couldn’t pass up this deal.

The FWX-1 has been one of my favorites since I got it. Definitely not the most technical IEM by a long shot and the fit can be a pain in the A**!! Xelastecs worked for me. So I’m thinking I should really enjoy this higher end version. Cable is definitely much nicer! :person_shrugging: We’ll see

Love the tonality of these woodies!!!

Yup. It is a terrific headphone to have in your collection because the HD 800’s are unique.

I’m just seeing this. Those VU meters are incredible! I didn’t know I needed this (or had even heard of this amp before) but now I’m making space at my desk already.

Can’t wait for your impressions!

That is truly a thing of beauty. Looking forward to hearing any impressions you want to share about how it sounds! :slight_smile: #MOARTUBES

This showed up today. It’s a Canor DAC 2.10. It’s a dual mono SABER DAC with a tube output buffer.

The folks at Verdant Audio were kind enough to send me a loaner for an in-house demo.

It was left on my doorstep and it’s about 15 degF here so I’m letting it get up to room temperature before lighting it off.

Note: The weird distortion under the knob is just a reflection of the shipping tape on the box.
