Now, did anyone else hear the Enigma Acoustics Darma headphone? No? We'll, holy shit you missed out. A real stunner.  Hybrid dynamic w/estat tweeter.  Crossover at 8kHz. Expected price at $1.5k, I think. This and the HE-1000 were the best things I heard at the show.

Interested in eventually hearing these out.

Quick search on the ‎Enigmacoustics‬ Dharma sounds very interesting at least for the tech involved. I don't remember seeing many full sized hybrid headphones around.

I went looking myself - didn't find much. Any good links you can share?

You probably found the same links I did. Nine moon, Facebook and partimeaudiophile's tweet. Nothing even on Enigmacoustic's site. I am usually curious about hybrid stuff and how they work together.

Do you need a special amplifier for the Darma hybrid?

Doubt it.  Probably similar to the K340.

Yeah, and $1500 seems steep if it resembles anything like the K340.

I doubt it they resemble anything like the k340. They're not an akg after all. Who knows, they might perform beyound expectations and make other high priced/high end headphones a run for their money.  I wouldn't automatically make assumptions yet.

Me, personally, would love to hear an interesting headphone like them.

If it's like K340, it will need a tube amp to integrate the treble with the rest. If I had to guess based on Tyll's quick listen, it isn't an issue. But at that price, might as well go with an e-stat rig.
