I was 
close to unlisting this thread so it existed but was really hard to find, because, you know, stealth.
But I decided to not be that mean

Make it so anyone looking for it has to make a perception check.
Mine should arrive next week. I was heavily into IEMs last few years so looking forward to hear the headphones again.

The Head-Fi video is a good one to watch. In that, Jude interviews Dan himself where he goes and explains some of the engineering behind the Stealth (lengths he goes with ensuring correct driver tension, driver matching, decisions for pad materials, etc.).

The R/T is a challenge to the popular Hifman and Audeze Lcd2.
These are probably the most prestigious headphones on the market.
I’m sure it will make a lot of waves.
But of course the price is not for everyone.
It’s a bit of a shame because the R/T can easily compete with the Lcd2C and the Aeon 2 is probably up to the 2000$/€ headphone sector.
Maybe there will be a slimmed-down version of the Stealth that covers the 2000-3000$/€ range.
The look alone is already a sensation.

Still burning in but wow I feel like I jumped from 40”-1080p (Softears RS10, SE12, IER-Z1R etc.) straight to 85”-8k in terms of resolution. Every little nuances impressively well defined with multiple layers all proportionally visible. Nothing over sharpened nor over emphasized. Just supremely natural the way it portrays all the minute details buried in the recordings. Soundstage doesn’t feel confined like other closed back I used to have (AH-D7200, AEON). Best of all zero EQ required to fix any tonal deviation.
Just sitting back and getting totally immersed with just about every different type of music thrown at it.

Especially when a ZMF VC is almost half the price.

I tried these headphones at canjam with a GSX Mini amp, and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Made me want to take out a loan. It was THAT good!
