On somewhat frequent sales, HiFiMAN discounts Susvara by as much as 25% for open box (with full warranty). So, you could already buy Susvara for $4,500... Maybe the introduction of a new flagship would permanently drop Susvara to $3-4k price? I am definitely NOT a Susvara expert by any means...

As CanJam Shanghai is getting close (I wish I could attend... :tired_face:) I am starting to wonder what new headphones may get introduced / launched :thinking: Some rumors have been circulating about a successor to Susvara :scream: In the early days of Susvara, I could not understand the...

I do not believe additional CanJam is in the cards, so you may be disappointed if you keep waiting for that to happen. However, plenty of local meetups all over... Just saying ;-)

Dekoni have leather pads that would fit. Their stuff is top notch quality. How it would sound compared to stock pads? Remains to be seen... 🤷‍♂️

Coolest DAC name. EVER.

we will have a homeless neighborhood for audiophiles who invested all their money in audio gear, and ended up on the streets (with TOTL sources, IEMs, headphones, etc.) :) Edit: we'll just call it a street meetup...

In my previous job, I used also HD569, but I drove it from Monoprice DAC/Amp (I forget the model, but it was ~$100). Excellent low-cost good-sound setup! Actually, I still own my HD569... I wonder if it makes sense to keep it once I get my HD620S :thinking:

Interesting.... :thinking: Checking their website and product page, I realized this thing has a fan! Does it ever make an audible noise? Do you turn it off or do you disconnect it from the wall? Just curious...

Accepting offers... ;-)

staying current with my Head-Fi followed threads has become a full-time job... :unamused:

A true drifter... :laughing:

Eric, the 600 series pads won't fit the new HD620S? Different mounting system?

Because OG Red October was too small?! :scream:

@goldwerger my good friend, I will join the others thanking you from the bottom of my heart for the initiative, creating this new thread. Since you brought up synergy... I will dedicate my first post here to a different type of synergy. The synergy between the original Watercooler thread and...

Very fast shipping. Item as described. Great seller!

Hopefully we get a clarification from Davy on what that means... When you're playing music with UAPP, what does it display for sample rate etc?

Some great gear is like artists of old... appreciated only long after their death... 🤦‍♂️

Awesome deal for sure. 100% agree. I only brought it up because in the audiophile community, for whatever reasons (I honestly do not remember) - the 660S, which happens to be the only 150Ω model, was not loved. Not saying there is a 1:1 correlation, but it sure is a potential root cause there...

@Jermo K / @ericpalonen - can you reveal any reasoning or thought behind making the HD620S impedance 150Ω as opposed to 300Ω? The only not-very-popular 600 series was the original HD660S which happened to be 150Ω... I am not saying that was its downfall, but HD660S2 changed (among other things)...

Added the HiFiMAN HE-400i to the spring clean up. $20 off if you get 2 headphones. $30 off if you buy all 3 headphones.

Andy's reviews are great. You have to be logged in to be able to install your purchased apps. If you have security concerns - change your google account password, login and install UAPP and other apps you want, logout and change your google account password. A process, but if that makes you...

Have you tried UAPP by any chance? This is my favorite music app for Android. Also, what about Roon? I would love to be able to use this little guy as Roon control interface. I will not even bother installing a SIM card ;-)

Exactly! For those who prefer a better or cheaper phone plus external dongle - this one is not for you.
