i'll give it a try, thanks for the suggestion.

I wanted to take a clean photo of the setup so i put them i the box becouse i don't have a stand yet lol. I'll probably 3d print one in the future.

The plan was to get the Tidal student plan (6 euro/month) but after doing the digitafeeds abx test i can't hear any difference between 320kbs and lossless so i'm sticking to Spotify.

That thing is incredible for what i paid for it.

maybe a decade it's not possible but i hope they last a fair bit. What were the failing points on your Sudaras that made you change them?

Two days ago i finally received my first decent pair of open-back headphones after daily driving cheap IEMs for almost a year. The whole setup took a couple of month to put together as i waited for some good deals to popup on a couple of used marketplaces. The initial plan was to get a Topping DX3 pro+ and a pair of HD6xx/HD600, but after learning about the Sundaras i changed my mind. I went for the wider soundstage and supposed wow-factor over the neutral sound of the Sennys because the idea of a "boring" sounding headphone was not really appealing to me, given that i also wanted to use them to watch movies/shows. After reading a couple of reviews i went for the Atom Amp ( which was hard to find here in Italy due to the high shipping cost of a new one) and a cheap Topping D10. I decided to buy a DAC to test myself the dac-improve-sound theory that i often see discussed on forums, and doing some tests i can hear a slight difference from only using the phones/laptops dac.

Overall i'm quite happy with my purchase and i hope that these last at least a decade ( i'm a university student, i've thrown my extra-rent budget of the last 6 months on these lol)
