Everything of the best on your new venture gents. Had a look on the website and I have to say, those prices are exceptionally good. Dammit now you've got me eyeing an Arya lol

An an iPhone user those is great news as I previously used Apple music before moving on to Tidal, but there's no denying that Apple music had a larger library at the time. Some songs just aren't available on Tidal to this day. The question I have though is whether apply music is available on PC...

To be fair it's not as though Sennheiser was releasing new headphones in their audiophile line for a number of years now. I think only the HD660S and the recently released hd560s come to mind. The hd800s has been their flagship for what seems like forever. With the sale, it might indeed be...

ASR is a really good source of information, especially for those like me who only entered the hobby not too long ago. The reviews of DACs and Amps and the criteria used for testing I found extremely useful. My current DAC and amps were both purchased after researching across many review sites...

Wow that's summit-fi right there. I can't imagine having bought it a year ago and still not having had a chance to listen to them. How do you cope? Lol

Thanks, have amended my initial vote accordingly

I've got 3 pairs in total, although I was only allowed to place a single vote (placed on LCD2).

I can't hear a difference to be honest, so in a sense I don't really care. I subscribed to Tidal before the whole MQA thing so whether it catches on like wildfire or they revert back to standard "hi-fi" in the future....meh If a track was recorded well up front then it sounds good enough to me...

Hi Drifter I too will be very keen to see how things develop moving forward. I'm also a massive fan of the Audeze sound, and while none of my cans exhibit any issues, it is something worth knowing should the worst happen (gently caresses my Classics, there there) Local repair/support would...

wow that's great on behalf of Audeze support, here's hoping the rest of the process is as smooth!

Hi OP Not sure what your budget is, but in the price range of the headphones you've listed, there's also the very well regarded Hifiman Sundara that might be a nice change to what you're used to with the HD598SE.

The iFi sounds like the perfect compliment then  :thumbs:

This a great write-up and I share your sentiments on the LCD's. I've got the classics and while they are really comfy, you do start to notice the weight after an hour or two. Interesting points regarding the differences your two amps have on each of the headphones, and really speaks to the...

Would love to try an e-stat as well at some point, to experience the difference in presentation. That RAAL SR1A looks futuristic as well and the reviews seem mostly positive as well. One day...lol

The way the GoPro camera moves around in his vids makes me nauseus lol

If you're worried about importing from Drop, Amazon stocks some of their models weigh might make it simpler in terms of ordering. DROP + HIFIMAN HE5XX Planar Magnetic Over-Ear Open-Back Headphones, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P55D5YW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_7GN6B802JTJ5WNMED8J4

When you've got A 7yr old and a 1 yr old in the house and no dedicated room for musical enjoyment, headphones are a no-brainer and that's squarely where I'm planted at the moment. Still relatively new (about two years now) in this hobby, but so far really enjoying my setup. Desktop system with...

I can provide some feedback regarding the Audeze line of planars as I own a few. My LCD2C is definitely on the darker side, but that speaks to the Audeze house sound and it's the reason many people prefer them in the first place as they make for easy listening with no fatigue. The bass is...

Hi Arie, glad to hear that. Probably coincides with the release of the LCD2 Classics (and the newer headband).

Audeze headphones are built like tanks but possible planar driver failures do give me nightmares. OP I do hope you come right with a cost effective solution!
