Nice!!!
I was very surprised of the way it enhanced the sound; there was a very clear difference from my other dacā€™s, so I hope it is a enjoyable for you.

Pandas finally arrived today, as well as part 2 of my ZMF order (Seahorse case + shirts).

I can already agree with this. Itā€™s doing things that set it apart from the bifrost. Not saying better or worse but they are definitely different.

Glad youā€™re enjoying yours :beers:

What name are we going to give the FH3 squad?

Corpse cable (non-GraveDigger version) for my 2Cs. Audeze does make a good stock cable, but it was time for me to move on to balanced. I had a Corpse for my Ether CX back in the day, but I loved the cable way more than the headphones and had to sell them.

Travis at Corpse runs a good business (highly usable website, quick turnaround, excellent packing and shipping, friendly service) and makes a superb cable - smooth, attractive, and flexible. Donā€™t ask me how it sounds, because I listen to music, not cables :crazy_face:

These actually came in yesterday, but Iā€™ll be giving more detailed impressions over in Custom Cables


Also, particularly with the Real ID deadline coming up (itā€™s a US thing for those not living here), and that Iā€™d like to change over my licence and print off some other documentsā€¦ I caved and bought a printerā€¦ If nothing else when it comes time for printing off resumes, it should come in handy.

I thought about posting some impressions on the Panda thread, but Iā€™m really not ready for a full dump yet. I havenā€™t given these enough timeā€“they just came in this afternoon. And itā€™s really awkward timing given my VCs just showed up, and itā€™s a little jarring to go from those to Pandas and not be unfairly critical.

Thusfar the Pandas are as advertised in terms of rapid charging time and ease of pairing. Iā€™ve done a little listening with just straight line out from my phone as well as LDAC from the Tidal app. Sound quality is still impressive for a BT headphone. Mids are clear and imaging is good.

I am still enjoying the voicing. Theyā€™re a little dark with good but not exceptional detail. Bass is articulate, but light on slam. Mids are great.

Iā€™m already anticipating taking these on the go with me to places where big headphones might be impractical and where I wouldnā€™t care to take expensive IEMsā€“like a weekend road trip or something. Pandas would be ideal for flopping down in a chair and reading a book or something. Theyā€™re a nice lightweight option for actually decent listening without going full DAP + flagship IEM.

So that about sums up early impressions. I wonder if burn-in is a good idea given how much that helped Sundaras.

I forgot I had ordered this, for whatever reason it was way back-ordered I guess. Iā€™m kinda late to the party but wanted to experience this multiple-bit sound influence yaā€™ll have been enjoying. Shiit Bifrost 2ā€¦
