I will try to attend if I’m able. Purk you have me itching to hear the gxs and or gsx mini with a good dac compared to the Sony ES
You really should John. It has been too long since we last meet. I personally think the GS-X mini will be quite stellar. I'm sure Doug either will attend or send loaner amps to TomB. Would be neat to finally hear the ECP T4 and ECP DSHA-3F.
@ Brent,
We sure miss your presence man. Maybe you can get Fitz to join us at the meet again. I also miss him.

Thanks John. Hoping for another great meet! I will be attending as usual. Headamp will also be there!

Purk if the TA-ZH1ES is 85% of the GXS mini + Yggy that must sounds mind blowing as the Sony just arrived and I find it outstanding
Glad you are liking it. I hope you did get it for a good price. I think the DAC is an after thought however. Wish the line level out is always active though.

no snow here in Atlanta. Just about 6-inch of rain by the end of this week. I really want a snow day.

I think the GS-X Mini would be a great choice for the Utopia. As good as the ZH1ES is, it isn't as transparent as the GS-X / or the mini Dynalo that I have. Less dynamic sounding too. However, you can buy the ZH1ES used for less than $1500 and you are about 85-90% there to the GSX Mini and you don't need to get another DAC. If you need a cheap but very good DAC, I highly recommended the SMSL SU-8 1.2 version DAC. For $250 off Amazon, it offers a really good sound for cheap. No harshness that I could detect either.

How about the GSX - mini?
-
Yes, I have. The ZH1ES is a solid upgrade in term of sound quality from my WM1Z and you should see the sonic benefits on your Utopia as well John. I found the ZH1ES to have considerably better soundstage depth and width compared to my 1Z. The presentation on the ES amplifier is more laid back and also warmer than that of the WM1A and 1A so it should work in favor of the Utopia. With that said, the best I have heard the Utopia was actually out of my GSX-MKI with Dynalo Plus module installed.

40 Trips Around the Sun in 24/96. Just bought it 15 mins ago. Excellent remastering.

Sounds like it was built just barely good enough to get it past the warranty period without failing.
Or whenever they decide to release Jade II SE

As a DSHA3F owner, I can say with general reservedness that I'm fucking ecstatic with mine! For both the Utopia and the Clear, I have heard no better amp.
I know that the 3F is made for Focal, but how does the Senn HD800 do on it?
-
The L700 + 353X gotta be a much better purchase.

Can it best my JH13pro?

Have a great thanksgiving everybody!

My condolences, Wayne and Antonio.

Seem like a better designed product than the Koss ESP950. Koss offers a lifetime warranty though.

Have a great birthday Dusty!

Although if @zoide has single-ended sources I'm not sure there is any advantage to the 353 over the 323, other than that new amplifier smell. ?
Justin told me that the 353X is a re-worked SRM717, so it should sound very decent right?
-
I'm not going to overpay for the SR009...when I can get them used for around $2500 now.....sadly I paid $3800 for mine a few years back. Some of us even paid $5500ish back when the US economy was tanking.
-
Very sad news. My deepest condolence to you and your family, Craig.
-
Thanks Bjorn. It just can't be better than the 800S or 800 for that matter given that those enclosure and driver were meant for an open design to begin with.

Interesting. I also have some Lambda Pro !
If you do not mind. Could you describe the sound a bit in comparison?I don't have them any more but I found them a little laid back and airy. However, they don't have much bass or sense of impact even from better amplifiers such as the BHSE or T2 or the Aristaeus. Still a very good sound, just not to the L700 to my ears.

Well, better than someone in the Koss technical service know this information because I'm afraid that soon they will have a lot of work.
It´ll be interesting to read the comments on this headset in a few months.
They aren't bad but I prefer my Lambda Pro and definitely the L700 to it.

Do not you think it's a good purchase? ? I speak from ignorance. For $ 500 it does not seem that they are bad.
Koss usually will have a Black Friday sales at 50% off. I bought my ESP950 for $500 with full accessories a few years back.

Given that you don't need a DAC and the added functionality including the remote control...that'a great deal at the price. You may find the attack a little soft compared to the like of SuSy Dynalo Mini, but the soundstage including image are better. Everything else is a toss up. You can use a silver usb cable to tighten up the sound a little bit. The included walkman cable is good but you can do a lot better.
