It's near field-like. Not particularly wide, not particularly behind your eyeballs. Decent width but it's not giving open back. On par with Andromeda, not at the level of Trifecta.- OhmsClaw

It's a big step up from the Maestro Mini/Scarlet. I was on the Scarlet tour and sent it on its way after 2 days 🤭. The Evo is fantastic and has its in-betweeners with the Raven. I like more bass so I went Evo and still snagged a launch edition sealed 2 years on. It's a leap over the Legend X in...- OhmsClaw

Titan is the way. Scarlet was a bass meme for too much money (I say that with the LX and Evo). Maestro SE/Grand is a big step up (for lots more money and I would go custom that route)- OhmsClaw

The coaxial Rn6/electron12 cable is no slouch 🤣 we are talking the last % of ergonomics here not significant differences. Even in this comparison, the ear hooks put the Rn6/e12 cable over the top then you defer to clear jacket vs smoked jacket for visuals.- OhmsClaw

LAiV Harmony R2R DAC Impression and Reviews
Yes. What I forgot to address with NOS redbook; 44.1/48khz may not roll off egregiously early depending in implementation but it will always have aliasing requiring "hi-res" files or upsampling for the worried about this to push all aliasing images well beyond audible FR as well as mitiging...- OhmsClaw

Ergonomics. Stock Cable all the way. Especially for its construction, the materials are a flex.- OhmsClaw

Better will require another couple of Kilo-bucks. Different? There's a whole bunch. Fir e10, Campfire Bonnyville are two I've recently heard visiting both headquarters 🤭 the Moon Rover is very reference, not enough bass for me but super cool, limited and neutral with technicalities.- OhmsClaw

LAiV Harmony R2R DAC Impression and Reviews
I was referring to the human perception of jitter. There are many claims of night and day preferences which can be reduced to purchase validation. There's some OKAY and affordable DDC offerings. There's music tailored word clocks which will run you 4k to pair a DDC/clock combo. There's the...- OhmsClaw

LAiV Harmony R2R DAC Impression and Reviews
If one claims to appreciate harmonics beyond 20khz as appreciable to the experience, yes. Digressing into snake oil purchase justications down that rabbit hole which lends itself to religious beliefs rather than the realm of audio reproduction is neither productive nor appropriate here. I...- OhmsClaw

There's going to be unit variation within a couple dB but you'd need an audio analyzer not the human ear Mk1- OhmsClaw
