I have had the Arya Organics for a few months (and still have them now) and just got the Calderas. Prefer the Calderas over the Arya Organics and would also probably echo the suggestion for the ZMF Atrium Opens. The Arya Organics to me just sound thinner compared to the Calderas.

Windows user yep. Not a streamer just like some better audio since I spend 8+ hours a day here. Right now it is windows pc to motu m2. Then using the outs on that to both headphone amp (magni) and speakers and my mic goes in via XLR. That might be the way to go of mic goes into the m2 and get a...

Yeah I think no matter what I get it will not be perfect at the price range but it should be better then the magni I have now. I looked at the lyr 3 but I will also take a look at everything people have suggested.

I updated the post but it was about $500. And the output voltage limit seems like 3.6v. The motu m2 is mostly used for my mic in/speakers/out to headphone amp but if there is a better way I am all for it.

Anyone have any recommendations for a good headphone amp for the Caldera Open/Atrium Open? Right now I just have a Motu m2 that goes to a schiit magni but it needs to be on high gain. Needs to be something that is not super massive as it sits on my computer desk. Looking at a budget around $500...

I am happy to hear that the Calderas are bringing something different to the table. I just got some Atrium Opens but when the chance to buy stabilized resin Calderas came up I had to jump on it. I am kind of hoping that both the Atriums and Calderas both have a spot and bring something...

For some reason I thought the atriums came with the BBB strap but after looking at them it doesn't, luckily in all my infinite wisdom I bought one thinking it would be good to have one as a spare. I have just swapped it in and will see if a few hours how I feel. I know the caldera I am getting...

Anyone have ideas of the best way to manage the weight when weight sensitive? Got lucky to buy one of the stabilized resin calderas which is going to probably be heavier. I have ZMF atrium opens now at about 550g and I know they also give me this issue. I have a smaller head so I am wearing the...

Awesome person who provided me a bunch of information about the headphones. Shipped them quickly and arrived with everything they listed.

I just got the confirmation email from ZMF

I told myself if I could the Caldera Malerei into my cart and make it to the payment screen then it was meant to be and I should buy them. But also Calderas are a bit more pricy so it was not an easy last minute decision to make. But I am happy to have picked them up. I have recently picked up...

Awesome seller that was quick to respond, shipped them out quickly and provided good information to someone who is going to be a first time ZMF owner.

I have slowly been working my way into hifi particularly open back headphones. I started my journey 5 years ago with a HD6XX and enjoyed them for quite awhile but wanted something different. I had read the Focal Elex was a big brother to that so I sold my HD6XX and upgraded to it. Since then I...
