How time flies... well, it’s time to give an update about the Himalayas I bought awhile ago. My first impression was, well, so-so to be honest. Stock cable is ok, nothing to complain much. Good connectors, good looks, good sound. Always there is something to be wanted more. Those nozzles...

Deja-vu time!! :) That’s what I did as well! Actually I had a couple of thin foam pads from somewhere which I used to block highs. But let’s be honest - they sounded pretty good, concidering.. My next jump was Audeze 2c. Yeah...

My new toy... It sounds goood :) Out of the box they were a bit rough, grainy and robust. After some 10-15 hours of running something happend.. they are more open, highly dynamic and sparkly. Btw, I tried to listen them with my Kato’s nozzles (fits in perfectly and those are longer), but I...

Finally...

Not always... Hifigo’s list of offerings is quite limited, comparing to AE. But yes, in general there’s better pricing on Hifigo.

For the price, it has to be. Btw, I’m using some Oyaide 102SSC cables and they do it’s job very well. NiceHCK MoonGod is also on my radar, same theme with silver coating.

Ha, could be that my ears are off...or there’s a chance I’m not an iem person (in that case my attempt to improve my listening experience with the Himalayas will collapse to dust and I will stop pushing onward). Lucklily my main rig sounds lovely :wink:

;) you’re only scratching the surface. With the proper equipment, there’s so much difference between dsd and lower hi-res. I listen mostly sacd rips and native dsd recordings, for my DAP there’s files starting from PCM 24-88 and up (gave up using dsd, due to the limited storage space). I can’t...

Maybe I’m too picky, but the Katos are not my taste. The upper end is so off, it just doesn’t sound natural to me. Maybe (maybe) they don’t cope well with DX220 amp1, didn’t try with my other sources. I could be wrong. Moving on to use the Himalaya.. who knows..

Too late for me.. damn. Btw, how does NiceHCK AceOrpheus cope with the Himalayas? Too dark?
