    The discovery thread!

    This is the way. Yeaaaah, I need to scale back. I am going to maybe see about a different desktop DAC/AMP solution but after the SJY Horizon and DaVinci (and my now incoming Maestro Mini that I just bought because the demo solidified it for me), it's probably time to ease off. Unless that...

    I think I'll love the DaVinci for sure. I think I need to hide my wallet for a bit, though...

    JM Audio Editions XTC Headphones

    I'm rocking a JDS Labs DAC+ hooked up to an Archel 3 Pro. It's a great combo and tone control lets me adjust my preference on the fly with the implementation done very tastefully. Highly recommended.

    Trying out some new tips (going to order Penon Liqueurs too I think). Early impressions: smooths out treble a -lot-. Bass feels slightly more impactful/full. Soundstage takes the most dramatic hit, IMO, as they sound a bit more compressed/intimate. Very comfortable, though, grips nozzles super...

    Reply to review by 'SemperMalum' on item 'Fatfreq Maestro SE'

    I think for the SE (and likely Grand Maestro), the CIEM route really would alleviate and make these complete end game. If I was ever to go with customs, I'm all in with Fatfreq's line up.

    S&S have been a work horse for me, they work really well with the Delci.
