OK for FSP.  I see the point.  FSC ( Focal Spirit Classic)  fixes the crackling problem with a better heaband bluid and it's slightly darker the fixes the bothersome upper mids for sensitive people. Comfort is the same though .

BTW , I won't be offensed if nobody agree with me .  p:/

I love the HE-4 too but I didn't heard the HE-5 and 6 yet.

What about the RE-400?

A touch veiled, lacking in resolution and dynamics for me.  On the forgiving side of warm neutrality.  Not great, just meh, okay IMO.

I have a balanced pair. I don't find it veiled but do find it a little peaky and uneven in treble, as I find most Hifiman iems. I'd probably take the BA200 over it but would take the Tenore over both.

I have the RE-400.  I only payed 70 for it and it was a good value.  It isolates well and is stupidly comfortable.  However I think the sound is only passable.  It's decently balanced, but the upper midrange is a little shouty, and the sound as a whole is a little plasticky.  It's not very articulate and lacks in treble.

The initial few runs, the RE-400 liked to break. It's a bit of a thing with hifiman iems. Maybe they've fixed it?

Seems they might've.  Mine have been through the ringer and haven't broken yet.

Still no love for the Bifrost, eh?

With the Gungnir at home, I've put the Uber in the office and yep, it does not match up with the former, IMO

That's like saying the Magni doesn't measure up to the Ragnarok.  :-\

No worries. I do expect the Gungnir to be better, though I haven't listened to it myself. I hope that the the Gungnir and Uberfrost are about equal in terms of value.

I have limited experience with DACs in general but the Uberfrost has consistently been a highly recommended DAC on this forum.

Trying hard to avoid listing everything from Schiit. The SQ/price ratio is insane for their latest round of stuff. The Wyrd/Modi thing was kind of a joke. A serious joke though. I should list only Wyrd instead.


Valhalla 2 deserves to be up there no doubt.
