I switched from a Hifiman Ananda Nano, and it was worth the switch. It has a decent bass and midrange, and the treble is not overly emphasized. Fortunately, no equalizer is needed for this. It is in perfect synergy with the Hifiman Serenade Wifi, which includes an R2R DAC, class A amplification with 2x760mWatt power at 300ohm and a built-in streamer, all of which produces a warm sound, but with surprisingly many details. Anyway, the headphones will only sound as good as the system in front. The headphones can handle up to 500mWatt at peak performance. Before i listened to them with a very expensive dongle DAC, which had low power (iBasso DC Elite), but it didn't sound nearly as good. So with the right pairing, it can easily replace a planar, especially if someone is looking for the right balance between exciting and calm music listening. And Thomann delivered the product on the promised day and packaged it safely, Thank you!
