You will need a preamp or digital volume control to the Vali on Campfire IEMs because the volume play is almost non-existent! Let me know how it goes!- theveterans

Campfire Chat - Official Campfire Audio 2024 Thread!
No EQ for me. I think your DAP/source is emphasizing the treble note edges too much if it's peaky/aggressive, and EQ IMHO will sacrifice finest refinements in the note edges. I even use the Pentaconn Corier Brass to make the treble (and the whole frequency range especially the bass) even more...- theveterans

Effect Audio x Elysian Acoustic Labs New Release | PILGRIM:NOIR - Dark Sophistication
It’s very common in Asia to use such clever poetry to showcase their products. I personally like the way they put mysterious descriptors to their products :)- theveterans

ZMF Aegis Official Thread
At max volume, Susvara is enough to go listen to almost as loud as IMAX movie theater levels when watching Netflix movies, but even at max volume, Aegis and Susvara won't make you uncomfortable even at that level of loudness due to how very refined sounding both of them are- theveterans

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
This is assuming every part of the DAC is working in perfect ideal conditions. Doesn't take into account the clock jitter, noise floor modulation, digital filter mathematical interpolation or lack of thereof and circuit design and implementation in analog and digital section of the DAC, let...- theveterans

THE WATERCOOLER HEADPHONE EDITION – Headphones, Amps, DACs, and desktop/home audio related – a freewheeling discussion of gear, impressions, music, and musings.
With the DCA Club discount, I'd put it on the at least top 2 or 3 of the best closed back headphones on its price range. I need to hear the Liric 2 first but E3 at 1.6K for a closed back is really amazing. Makes Hifiman Audirvina sound like a kid's toy headphone- theveterans

Aegis DIY Tube Headphone Amplifier
Same with the even cheaper TAD KT66 (also Chinese made tubes IIRC) though some Aegis users find it not so good on their system- theveterans

You should try the DCA E3 and get even bigger soundstage which to me is either equal or slightly larger than the DCA Stealth :)- theveterans

HiFiMan Susvara
You don't really have to spend that much for a entry Susvara amp heck some people are happy with their Topping A70 Pro driving the Susvara. Until those people get a really good grasp of how good Susvara sounds when it's on a really good chain, ignorance is a bliss- theveterans
