Sorry if this was asked already. Is there a way to turn on the WM1ZM2 without the side power on button? Touching on screen is not an option with latest firmware. Thanks.

The Apple ap2 medium ones worked for me. For better bass, the Comply medium fits well enough for jogging. Almost as comfortable as Apple’s with better passive isolation. Be warned that the Comply will last about a year max if you sweat.

How you like it over the DMP-Z1?

Got my weekly Head-fi email and noticed interest in Stax SR-X9000 & others. OK. OP heard Sony ZR1 and Utopia and no like. Those are already aces for their time. Trade publications placed Utopia above HD800, etc. ofc, this was before Abyss and Susvara. To cut this short, I own most of...

Just got mine. Were there some updated versions at the show? Looking forward to testing the Z10e with my Nagra and Chord DACs once tax season is over.

I like KEF LS50 and Genelec G Three for active.

If you want bass, the Abyss is the one for you. Susvara's bass is cleaner, but the overall upper chest warmth typer of bass with 2001 Space... is not at the level of the 1266. I think the Susvara has better bass than the Sony, not the LCD 4.

Abyss

Be careful with that AHB2.

I tried a few external linear power supplies. Really did not hear any difference with any of my headphones. The Sony's own is fine. It's never get hot even when I max out the power with the Susvara or Abyss 1266.

You can safely max it out with the Susvara on the DMP-Z1. At that level, the unit seems fine, no overheating at all. BTW, there are people who powers the Susvara through A Class Amplifiers speaker terminals. Benchmark sells an adaptor for their class AB and D amps for this purpose, with...

just jumping in to report that in balanced mode and high gain output, Hifiman Susvara can be driven well, even on battery. Even higher output on AC. (though I like the music more on battery power)

There is nothing better than listening to headphones on a boat, at night. The waves and the breeze really adds to the experience.

The Sony DMP-Z1 is handy and portable, really great on a boat. That said, it's not as revealing as say the Chord DAVE or Nagra HD DAC. I do like the vocals with the Sony, mirrors the Nagra's vocals, that's nice as the Swiss unit uses output tubes. I am hoping the combination of the Nagra with...

Into my 4th hour listening, now using the balanced cords and battery powered with high gain. It's plenty power in the bass end. Jazz at the Pawnshop is alive. The Stampenär en jazzklubb of Sweden is alive, with voices and ambience sounds I have not heard before. Balanced output is noticeably...

lol. Just for the photo! This baby won't be hanging on that Sony MDR-Z1 stand. That adaptor is pure silver and made for me by Konstantin at Lavricables.

My Susvara finally arrived. While I still wait for the LTA Z10e, I have tried some of my trusted amps. Very surprisingly, using the 'high gain' output of the Sony DMP-Z1, the Susvara sings like a songbird. Listening the Blackpink, DSD256 tracks, and Akina Nakamori. All very fine. Powerful...

I have the same. There is a level difference, but I prefer the RCAs to my power amp.

Which Nagra HD DAC you using?

Hello all, this close ordering the Susvara. Are there any driver issues with the current run? What serial numbers ballpark are new ones? Is there any wait time? Thanks!

Who are you using and are these with the 3.5" pins?

@Somatic Isn't the Lavricables Grand 100% silver and over 1,000? Is this because Susvara improves with less silver and more copper?

When did the Susvara started having those 3.5mm plug inputs. from the 2.5mm pins? Are these the only change since 2017? Thanks. (I am thinking of finally getting a pair)

The new detachable cables are a joy to use. Love how they supply a really long one for free.
