I cant trust them it seems strange they have sundara cheaper than elsewhere. But they are not an authorized seller for hifiman. So I’m thinking linsoul is the way I have to buy. But now that I’m thinking about it I wonder what there return policy is. Hmm I’m going to research tht see if I can test them that way.
Wait sundara is 369 I swore I saw it cheaper on that site. Hmm kabe hifigo is viable after all : )
Yeah I was confused as well lol. Hifigo is very reliable and I’ve heard people had to wait months for their stuff to arrive from linsoul.
“special29” for $29 off new sundara from Hifimans official website, it’s usually $350 without so $320 for new sundara direct from hifiman
I tried it the code doesn’t work . Thank you tho for offering the code : ) ol
hey sent you a PM with a backup code but “special29” has been reactivated for anyone else to use
(please note there may be only 1 use I did not confirm)
Are you perhaps associated with hifiman in any way? If you are, would prefer if you disclose that if you are going to share and promote discount codes

I am not.
I am just a business man working to preserve coupon codes on the behalf on the greater community.
I have received nothing from Hifiman and doubt I will.
Figured I should ask, since if some saw that they might think you were a dealer or something (since reading it, looks like you can create discount codes)

Hi mon quick question I’m still deciding between my headphones but now I’m trying to decide between dacs. Iv had e30 and now liquid spark dac but the vocals are not right on the ls dac. And it sound stage feels smaller than e30 but instruments sound great! But vocals were deal breaker at least to my ears.anyways looking for a new dac torn between el dac 2 or smsl su 8. Just basically anything under 300 but those 2 caught my eyes. Any any help would be fantastic : )
You have a zen can right? Hmmmmm so you like the staging and and vocals on the e30 and like the instruments on the spark?
Yea got the zen can in preparation for the sundara. And yes that’s correct. Yes to second part as well. : ) I’m using optical by the way xbox to sony tv to dac to atom so I can tell what dac is doing but have zen can ready to jump in lol
Hmmmmm, so I wonder if you would enjoy a schiit modius as that can connect balanced to your ifi (with the proper cable), as that would give you better stage width and vocals that the e30 has imo, and good timbre and thickness for instruments, so it might be a pretty solid choice. The el dac 2 would be a bit more forward and neutral than the modius, but a bit lower spatial recreation and timbre quality imo. The su 8 is a bit more bright analytical dac which is nice but might lack some body and naturalness in comparison to other dacs. I might also suggest an allo revolution dac with their 15 buck psu, as that imo is a really high performer for the price, personally I’d say it’s above the aforementioned options with more flexibility in sound, although it’s somewhat limited when it comes to connectivity and build

I tried I believe the magni3 and I hated it felt like it had no dynamics or something I really hated it. So I feel like schiit is just that unless that was just bad luck with that amp.su 8 lacking body kind of scares me ) but I think filters might be fun. That e30 I had did change sounds iwith different usb power chargers. Like you said in one post.im difficult I know just trying to find my setup lol
Sorry about late response baby and all
The modius is very different from their old lineup, I was also not a fan of the magni 3 and the modi 3 at all, but their new lineups are very different when it comes to the modius at least
So honestly in this case, the allo revolution might make a lot of sense as you can customize the sound with filters and also by adjusting harmonics, you can even bypass the oversampling filter if you want to, so it can really change the signature and sound overall. Also reacts well to psu swaps, so honestly it would give you the flexibility you might want, along with really nice sound for the price
Just checked modius 200 with a good return policy ain’t bad. Ships the 19th oh well. Hmm el dac 250 b stock and then smsl su 8 210. Lol so many decision I’ll look into the modius because you vouched for them.: ) if you had only had to pick 2 wich would they ? Trying to narrow it down .
I too have a question. An ifi zen dac is 129 and has a balanced 4.4 pentaconn output. So the Modius and zen dac are balanced dac, wouldn’t they sound pretty much the same? Or which would sound better over all?
No, they sound pretty different. It would most likely come down to preference and synergy, the zen dac is a bit more warmer fuller, more forward while having a bit of extra bite in the treble, whereas the modius is a bit more neutral warmer relaxed, and a bit softer but still good body. I would personally say the modius is a bit more technically capable, but some may prefer the more fun nature of the zen

Thanks for the info. I’d say I’d prefer the zen dac as I don’t really like neutral sounds. Plus you save 70$.
