Another question, has anyone found a decent budget cable replacement for these? I was eyeing the NeoMusica one on Amazon:
Also curious to hear if anyone has tried a pad swap with the Dekoni Elite Velours
Lol, are you in the tech industry? Willing to work on Eastern Standard Time?
Iām pretty sure thatās the same cable I got for my Edition XX. No reall complaints. Might be a foot too long. But thatās minor.
Edit: I did get longer version of same cable. Outside of getting the too long one, itās a fine cable. Straight, lays nicely, minimal microphonics.

Yeah this was with financing over time as well so pretty insane. I did not know it was an option when I joined the org but after digging further discovered these were eligible for purchase through our perks program. I couldnāt afford them even at the crazy Adorama sale price so this is amazing that I got this deal

have you heard of Klarna? a great option if you run into things you want to pay over time, works anywhereā¦no i need to look into company perks lol, Dell all day but audio im not sure ofā¦
I wish my job had that kind of perk. How cheap can you get a LCD-2, Beyer T1, or Aryaā¦
This was a one time credit for anything that was available in the program, Elegias happened to maximize that benefit, plus I need to stick to closed back due to travel needs and a kiddo running around the house when I work at home 
Oh OK. So it was a one time deal. I was hoping you could help me get one of those lol
Yeah this is a similar benefit to Klarna, really sweet

That is a smoking deal. Hopefully you havenāt sold them by the time I get these, I want to test them with the Dragonfly and make sure Iām dissatisfied before investing more. Have you tried them on USB-C devices with C-to-C cable, everything smooth there?

ah gotcha gotcha fair enough. and yeah i actually use it with my LG V30 which is USB C, also with my laptop which has USB C. really smooth sailing overall. The reason iām selling it is because i just bought an asgard 3 (btw how r u liking urs? lol) and i donāt really have a need for it
Iām pretty sure A3 is endgame for me. I canāt believe what it did to all my headphones. Treble no longer fatigues on pretty much any set of cans. But it still gets very exciting and splashy. I first discovered dynamic bass slam with this amp, itās awesome. Very mild warmth. Very noticeable change in depth and stage, not necessarily larger but placement across the stage is easily perceived running on A3. The high gain mode nearly destroyed my dynamic cans lol. I think itās the perfect starter amp for serious investors in the hobby, and maybe just a fine endgame for most people who donāt buy kilobuck headphones.

niceeeeeeeeee, looking forward to it then. I have heard very good things about it, hope it lives up to the hype. now iām just waiting for schiit to ship itā¦ lol
Yeah, not sure youāll be mind blown by resolution or size of stage. But if all youāve heard is the portable amps or lower end ones (or THX if the popular concensus here is correct), I think you wonāt be surprised to find this your most enjoyable amp yet. I was really surprised how much I could just chill and enjoy the sound. Itās not relaxed, itās just really involved without fatigue. Donāt know how it manages that, maybe itās a Class A power thing

Can confirm new Fantasia is a solid cable for the price.
I tried dekoni sheepskin did not like but I canāt comment much as I did not like the Elegia at all and this was my last gasp attempt to change it. Itās already on itās way back to Adorama.
