Hello all,
I have Sennheiser HD650s and SUNDARAS. I power both of them with my ifi ZEN DAC and ZEN CAN Signature Edition Stack. Well, to be honest I also have KPH30is with YAXI-Pads. In addition I also have a FiiO BTR5 that I use with my IEMs. As IEMs I have Shure SE846, KZ ZS10 PRO and TINHIFI T4s. I like them all.
Now I am thinking about a pair of closed backs that would be an upgrade from my HD650s and my SUNDARAS. I was looking at Focal Elegias. I would like to have the option to run my new closed backs with my BTR5 portably. What do you think? What other options are there?

Assuming you’re in no hurry, Adorama has twice put runs up of Elegias in the past few months for $400 brand new via a Slickdeals link. If you manage to get them at that price, it’s a no brainer. I managed to snag a pair during the first run, and I’m really enjoying them. You can literally run them off of anything so there’s no need to worry about source capability.

If you want something that contrasts your current headphones then I’d suggest the emu teaks. But if you want a “closed hd650” then the elegias would be it.
