Hi everyone,
Would really appreciate your advice. I am a former owner a pair of Utopias, which I very much liked but had to sell due to a change of circumstances at the time.
I am considering trading in my Audeze LCD-i4 for a full size pair of headphones and have been considering the Utopia and the two Abyss headphones: Diana v2 and Diana Phi.
Unfortunately, I haven't listened to either of the Abyss models and reviews and impressions can only tell so much. I am a massive MMR fan and found my dream IEM in the MMR Thummim- I am ideally looking for something as exciting, rather than too reference a headphone.
I am considering the two Abyss headphones due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback and their quality build/small size (in spite of the worrying reports of paint chipping away easily);
Would very much appreciate your input- especially by people who have had the chance to listen to all three.
Any other suggestions are also more than welcome!
Cheers,
Nick
EDIT: Forgot to ads that I don't own a desktop amplifier so ideally looking for something that will be driven sufficiently well by my Hugo 2 or another portable amplifier.
EDIT 2: I also considered ZMF's VC but those are too big and heavy for my liking (and require lots of power to drive well enough)
