Does this unit come with a remote?

I don't see any mention of one, but "hope springs eternal."

That would be unusual, looking at their past offerings.

Everyone is waiting for this thing to get reviewed and whoever first says it can drive the Susvara will be looked at under a microscope.
That is a lot of pressure

To be fair though it’s been Dr Fang Bian that has been saying that it can drive the Susvara in “very good levels”. It definitely seems like an overpromise, and I dunno if it would have been better that he’s silent about the Susvara driving whilst having the reviewers discover and praise its Susvara capabilities instead. We shall see!

Would Susvara owners really be very interested in a bargain-priced all-in-one unit? Surely they have much better gear already or if they're shopping, would be eyeing much more refined DACs and powerhouse amps. Maybe they would buy one of these on a whim and throw it in the office or bedroom so they can use their Susvaras away from their main rig? IMO, this unit's success hinges on how it does with planars in the $500-$2,000 range.

Haha! I will enjoy it for its BT LDAC streaming capabilities and the HFM iteration of R2R DAC. Always nice to have choice.

As a Susvara owner yes I am interested. It’s supposed to be a fun hobby and you’re right part of it is to possibly be able to take my Susvara listening to other areas of the home or at another home. And Susvara owners tend to also have other cans in the stable that could work well with these, and it’s always nice to have amps that could work really well with most cans which you could also plug a Susvara into sometimes.

Higher price does not necessarily indicate a superior sounding product.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying this out for my Susvara.

EF600 is set to be released and pre-orders be shipped out today, April 14th right? Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm excited to compare it to its predecessor EF400

 

[Ieonasj]

does worth to buy ef600 for sensitive headphones 106db 1mw 32ohm? or better look at rme adi2 dac fs?

Two very different animals. EF600 has a R2R ladder dac, while the RME has an ESS chip dac. EF600 has a very powerful amp while the RME seems to be targeted to IEM listeners. I doubt the EF600 would be too much for your efficient headphones (on low gain setting) but it might be too noisy for IEMs. Also, do you prefer a warm and lush sound signature (EF600) or a clean and neutral signature (RME)?

I hear that there has been a delay and there was no ETA.

Still no review to be seen anywhere on the net or youtube? Did someone here order and received it yet? Would love a opinion especially compared to the ef400
