It exists...

Now there's an idea...buttplugs connected to bass shakers!

True. Those services aren't going to build custom streaming software for your random embedded PMP player OS.

Thank you for sharing the details, I was about to ask solderdude about the Polaris matching with Noire, probably not as good.

Rather I'm looking suitable gear for Sundara and something fun to listen to on a daily basis to refresh my hearing. The Focal's are damn expensive I would prefer planars like LCD-X or Ananda

Congrats on your cans. I never thought of trying them with games, I'll have to try it red dead 2 and bloodborne tonight with them

I mean the rock does have the same effect as the half shielded Sata cable but at only half the price WHAT A DEAL!!

They do it because people want the streaming services. It's way easier to slap Android 11 onto a device than to program an in-house solution and keep it updated for Qobuz, Tidal, Amazon, Apple, etc.

I was between these or the 32 ohm Beyerdynamic 990 editions. Beyer was oos so I went for these and I’m blown away.

Been listening to some of my favorite tunes all day, these add so many layers to the music I haven’t experienced before. Coming from a life of skull candy shit to this has been amazing so far.

I can definitely see how alluring this could be lol. I found myself looking at Bluetooth Sony’s and desktop amps before asked myself wtf are you doing.

imma save you some money, try grani c07

I love them, also the sleipnir c06 ones.

The seller feedback profile suggests that a few people have fallen for it : https://www.ebay.co.uk/fdbk/feedback_profile/audiophile.rocks?user_context=BUYER

You want more than the sundara because I felt the same way. Start looking at focal clear or focal elex. Terrific cans

Thanks man I appreciate you

Probably what I will do, thanks

Unless I'm missing something I probably just don't like them

Yeah I tried 2 cables, one balanced 2.5 mm and one normal 3.5 mm but no cigar. The more I listen to them the more I appreciate them but yeah I think I just dont like them and can't differentiate between low quality and something I simply don't like.

Coming from Fostex/Denon biodyna's being my headphones of choice I went on a bit of an amp journey to find a great pairing for them and the Ember & Polaris is where I've ended and am fully satisfied with no need for searching out any other amps. Meier Corda JAZZ-ff and modded Gustard H10 were the previous amps. The Polaris is bit better all around than and less than half the size of an H10...absolutey lovely low end/subbase presence with little more forward mids/vocals. The JAZ-ff was not a good pairing at all for biodyna's...low end lacked presence and didn't sound lively, had a more flat & cold presentation.

Very much satisfied with the Garage 1217 amps - if you want a warm & lively sound from a biodyna driver they are a great way to go. The Ember II with either a Reflector 6H23P-EB or Sovtek 6H30P-EB tube is setup I like best overall for pairing with a biodyna, when I really want that ultimate subbass presentation and lively/punchy experience (at some expense of instrument separation, 3D spacial presence, and vocal presentation) I like running the Polaris. Both pair well with Sennheiser HD6XX series and the more lively sounding planar magnetics, like a Gold Planar GL2000 or certain HiFiMans, as well.

Nothing wrong with http://archimago.blogspot.com/ either.

> i don't understand this people

Why don't you keep it that way? Words are very inaccurate. Peoples impression are what they are, what they experience when listening to something. Not to be mistaken for the properties of the object listening to.

Indeed, educate yourself but if you do, select the right teachers 😀

"but have you listened to it ?"

Yea, good call. Hopefully your friends amp can help you realize the 400se's potential and help you figure out if the sound is worth investing further into.

I would also have your friend listen to it and see what they think since they are used to the Sundara but mind you the Sundara is a big step up in comparison but you already knew that from your original post.

Godspeed!

Sounds like the need a more powerful amp/DAC. Not really worth getting something more expensive though if you have these as your only headphones. I recommend returning them and getting something more sensitive and easier to drive
