Some impressions while still hot.

Revelations of the day:
The new hedd. Now half the dimensions, packed with a so nice tuning and finesse and clarity, with a unique timbre... Really congratulations to the hedd team!
Then the Yamaha yh5000se... Another wow. The layering, the tuning, the presentation were superb. Imo just a bit of honkyness, like a low mid accentuation that was immediately evident. You can call it a coloration if you wish, but it was such a perfect headphones that this coloration surprised me.
And then the unexpected wireless: the unity. This is a new breed, to be intended as a whole system, streamer included. It connects to wifi and uses your services directly, so no crappy Bluetooth. And the sound was clean and powerful. Don't forget to try it as I was doing thinking it's just a wireless headphones. Sadly it's no cheap either...

A special thanks to DCS stuff that was really fun and joyful.

Ofc a lot of other great headphones, but probably already known so I won't repeat.

You’ve just described my plan for tomorrow and so validated it.

1 hour 30 minutes left of Day 1!

If you're only here for today, don't miss the dCS Listening lounge experience...find us in Plaza Suite 11.

Had a wonderful but short session here with AUDEZE and Abyss headphones. Looking forward to coming back tomorrow for more!

What an awesome day! Thanks for organising it! Everyone was super friendly and the staff at the booths very helpful! I get to try pretty much everything I planned.
I have to highlight the dCS and the ZMF rooms. They both were the most welcoming. dCS had 5 listening stations with two flagship headphones at each stack. ZMF filled a whole room with headphones and amplifiers. Definitely more than 50 pair of headphones, maybe even 100. :)
It was a lot to take in, so give me a couple of days to come up with a longer impression post with some pictures. :)
