Any updates on your order? What’s your order number from mimic audio?

If you put a metal box or cage over the Aegis it can double as a stool! Just don’t accidentally trip over it when you walk.

Can you check if it’s glued down properly? I recalled some Quality problems with the early batches that required them to glue down some parts because the screws were loose. You’ll have to do a quick search.

Oh that’s the dual slave/master module. Did you order a solo Mentor? But even then they used to include that in case people upgraded. You best message them to ask.

There is the issue of “grass is always greener on the other side” effect. So having a variety of amps is better than just having “the best”.

The price is a marketing tool. If it’s too cheap no one will take it seriously. However to justify the high price it needs to compare to the Susvara or at least be different and good enough that people are willing to pay, like the Shangri La estat.

It’s the same only the board is black instead of blue.

Supposedly they just revealed a Mini Shangri-La at Munich recently. could be it?

Unless they are jumping on the Ribbon bandwagon, I doubt they can make a planar better than the current cans.

You have to have a budget. There is no point in getting cables that cost more than your headphone unless you got the Susvara. I shopped around cables a bit so here is my input: your cables should be at least 2 meters long in case you move about and end up snapping the connectors. Your cables...

The HEK stealth is fine. I suspect the difference between stealth and SE version has more to do with the DAC/amp synergy than a major sound improvement between SE and the stealth. As far as how it’s comparable to the Susvara, that’s only if you are using mid fi level DAC and Amps. Once you scale...

The output is 250mW per channel for the Sony Walkman. Yes you can still have pretty loud volumes from the HEK with that, but I think leylandi meant you won’t be able to get the full performance with that kind of output. That performance can range among resolution, body and texture, and low...

Chain synergy is key here. For the Orpheus to be the better than the Susvara with a good chain, you’d have to spend close to 6 figures.

The Susvara has no sharpness. It’s very resolving. The issue is likely your DAC or amp. I recalled having a similar problem until I upgraded my DAC and amp.

Still waiting for me. They just completed November as of yesterday. That means another 1-2 months for me (ordered Dec 30th) and 2-3 months for you.
