What's in the box!

[Audiophool]

Wow, that is a monster. One serious dac you’ve got there!!! Congrats on an amazing system you’ve put together!

[Rhodey]

Thank you, I’m truly blessed!

So many options and decisions with this hobby as you climb and try to figure out your next move. I think this one will be a long term pickup (hopefully!). I just love the features, upgrade options, and of course the sound. For me, it works very well with the DNA. Helps it in some areas that could use a bit of improvement, stage and macro dynamics.

Whoa, that’s one helluva upgrade! Congrats - I can barely imagine how amazing that must sound with Stellaris.

Dear John. @jthvac

Thank you.

[andris]

Dude, this is so awesome. Congratulations! Definitely one of the most highly regarded digital front ends out there

[Rhodey]

Thanks! Yeah, I’m really enjoying it. Hopefully I move some of my current gear to help offset the costs. It’ll be ok tho

Picked this up to see how it would pair with the DNA. Not too bad off initial impressions. Definitely same bloodline as the Susvara. I think the tubes are relaxing any harsh treble that some speak of. Going to need some time to see if these will play a role in my collection and how they’ll compare vs the Mysphere 3.1 that’s coming in soon.

Thanks @taronlissimore for the sale! Always excellent to deal with and amazing shipping times with the Headphones.com team.

Dunu Glacier.

This IEM comes with an unprecedented amount of stuff - and it all feels like good quality. Also, the IEM is on the solid/heavy side of things. Chonky.

[Torq]

@Resolve

Chonky.

Just Chonky?

Or are we in “Heckin’ Chonkosaurus” territory?

Like a “Chonkosaurus Rex”?

Or even an “Apatochonkosaurus”?

@Resolve

This IEM comes with an unprecedented amount of stuff

And what is it’s signature (the driver configuration is enticing …)?

[Griffo]

Some 18 months after my initial preorder these finally turned up IMR Audio na-le.

Very good as well so maybe I was right to be patient and wait.

[Resolve]

Great bass, mid mids, divisive treble. IMO it’s kind of like the Cadenza 12 just… more lean in the mids. And sibilant.

[Rhodey]

Picked these up to give them a try. Should be fun to compare them alongside the Caldera, HEKse, MR.

[jthvac]

I really like the Elites with the Stellaris. More than the Calderas to be honest.
Which leads me to…

[jthvac]

Lab12 Integre MK2. It’s going to be the driver of my 2 channel. But like LTAs, the headphone output is off the tubes, no opamps. I’m looking forward to putting it through it’s paces especially with planars

[Rhodey]

Very nice, congrats!

[jthvac]

Thanks @Rhodey, we’re all very lucky to be able to have this stuff.

[Rhodey]

Isn’t that the truth! Extremely blessed!
I’ll be interested to see how your 2ch journey progresses. I may eventually get there. Maybe in a few years.

[Earmuffs]

Great pick!! Lab12 makes good stuff.

[Rhodey]

Should be interesting… Mysphere 3.1

Looks brand new.
