Unfortunately I've never had the privilege of listening to the GH2. Maybe one day.

Grado Hemp....If I may be BLUNT, these are DOPE! Definitely HI-fidelity.

Yes Sir! I've tried my Heresy IVs, KG4s, and I have a pair of RP600s. They have excellent synergy. I am about to move it into my loft and use it to drive my Buchardt S400s

I have both, and both are pre 2021. I like both but if I had to live with one, it would be the XC.

I have it connected through the balanced connections as a DAC. I don't have anything else connected like active speakers. I have a McIntosh MA5300 in the same room connected to a pair of Heresy IVs for my two-channel set up.

No trouble at all. I have the balanced output of the Ares (XLR) going to the balanced inputs of the Master 19. And I prefer OS&Sharp Filer for the HE6. NOS/OS 1. Press the Mute button once to enter configuration mode 2. Press the Opt1 momentarily - Opt1 On = NOS - Opt1 Off = OS 3. Wait for 5s...

Yes sir, absolutely! I have both of those headphones as well.

I have the Master 19 which I pair with the Ares II, and recently, I tried the HIMALAYA R2R DAC in the Hifiman EF400 through the Master 19. I've also tried the RME ADI 2 DAC through the Master 19. All sound great. I like the R2R DACs better.

I placed my order yesterday afternoon with Amazon and mine arrived this morning. What a great pairing with the HE6se. I will try the Arya (OG) sometime this weekend using the Pentacon balanced cable, but I'm digging this combo right now.

I prefer Ultra-linear Mode with my headphones and my favorite genre (Vocal Jazz)

Another one of my personal favorites. When coupled with a nice amplifier, they are undeniably good!

It is a kick ass Amp/DAC. I've had mine since 2016, and it still works just fine.

Clear MG is perfect as is! No need diluting, mixing, or tampering with.

The Ghetto Sweet Voice, my headphone of Choice!!!

They are on the other side of the room hanging from my Reel 2 Reel rack. I will pull them out soon.

Headphone: Focal Clear MG. Amplifier: Nelson Pass Mono-Blocks DAC: RME ADI 2 DAC

I have a unique speaker amp set up that I use for headphones. I have a pair of Nelson Pass (First Watt) Monoblocks as my headphone amps (Dedicated Amp for each ear cup). I use the RME ADI 2-DAC as the DAC/Pre-Amp.
