Absolutely love my pair of Stealths! In my experience they're indeed as source-picky as the Susvara. Comparable detail and texture yet also different. Shame you did not have the Stealth for review when the Zahl HM1 passed through your studio, it's an absolutely magical pairing.
"Best" is hard for me to say. Like in technicals? Yeah probably. But the Verite Closed on tubes still hasn't been dethroned for me. It colors the music in such a pleasing way and if you like the tuning quirks, you REALLY like the tuning quirks. IMO the VC is superior to its open counter part but also going for something different.. Back to back, I thought the Expanse was just a slightly better Stealth personally. Were you going to do a ZMF lineup review or did I imagine that?
You did not imagine it, I’ve still got to release the atrium closed and CAL review and CAL closed. Will be on the way soon. Then we need to gather all of them together for a bonanza
Hey Koji, hope you're doing fantastic. I was wondering did you change anything about your mic setup ? I'm not sure if it's on my end but it seems the sound has been lowered a bit. (i never change my settings for youtube so i know right away when volume got +/- dB) Other than that glad to see the Giella Pi here, i'm guessing it came from Pierre aswell ? Can't wait for the review. Maybe can you tease a lil bit ? Is it a gem as i thought it could be ? Or is it more fighting with others in same price range ? Thank you! 🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅
It’s possible, the overall mastering output is lower than previously, so therefore you might have to turn up the volume to match other levels of other reviews.

I own the DCA Stealth and Focal Clear. I love the DCA Stealth. Best headphone I have heard however, I have not heard that many flagship headphones. Any thoughts on pairing these with the Holo Audio May and Bliss set up?
The Stealth is definitely a fantastic headphone worthy of Endgame status. Great detail retrieval, really nice bass slam and a huge soundstage for a closed back. REALLY makes you feel like you're in the music. I still haven't found a closed back I love more than my Stellia overall (haven't tried the VC yet) but if anyone were to buy a Stealth and could never get another headphone again I don't think they'd complain
My elite closed back list is: dc stealth, verite closed, atrium closed. My bet is once the caldera closed comes out that will be the tippy top for my preferences. I enjoy the focal radiance over Stellia $ per $ spent. Mass Kobo 404 / 424 would be a nice portable combo with this.
Atrium Closed is alright, but that sound is carried by sub bass and air (mids are really recessed). Very different headphone than the Radiance or Stelia. Verite Closed would probably be most similar, with no coincidence that it uses the same driver material. Caldera open is very, very different sounding. I wouldnt build hype for that unless you've heard the Caldera yourself first. I dont think its something everyone will love or find it worth the $
@@sedinin555 not really mate I think you need something like hugo2 2go Stealth of very very hard to drive, you might get efficient loudness but it’s definitely gonna be lacklustre and lack dynamics
Haha thank you, I appreciate it, unfortunately they’re not Headphones stands. They were turned into Headphones stands because it works very very well. They were originally stands for decoration purposes for a good living room for certain items such as candles et cetera but it does not seem to destroy headbands and head straps, so I’ve used it for the last three years and they work very well Most importantly, each one weighs 3 kg and there’s no chance of knocking it over which is basically why I use it, because of the flagship nature of the Headphones usually
@@GalPal-km8ht I think so, too, I’ve been using them for the last three years for that reason also been looking to see if I can find some others like it because when I picked this pair up there were some smaller ones too, unfortunately I never saw them again
Man do you think my SPL Phonitor 2 can amplify the Stealth or E3 ? I'm looking for my end game studio headphones. Love my SPL for its crossfeed facility.
I think I need to have a quick glance over the specifications. You should be okay I’ve come across this amplifier before I just don’t remember off the top of my head,
I have the SPL Phonitor X, not the 2. In my experience the SPL Phonitor X simply cannot drive the lower impedance DC Stealth to usable volume levels. It is useless for the Stealth, works great with my Audeze LCD 3. For the Stealth I typically use a Pass Labs HPA-1, and it leaves me reaching for a bit more power at times.
You mentioned that Stealth's have the makings of being a closed-back super-flagship, basically in the company of the best you can get when money is not a factor, in realm of dynamic/planar headphones that is. You also mentioned few other headphones - Susvara, AB1266 and Binor-ER. Are there any other headphones you'd consider to be a super-flagship? I'm thinking that perhaps I could shrink my collection and get something in "creme de la creme" realm but since I already have pieces like Caldera, Atrium, Diana Phi, Diana MR and ATH-ADX5000, I'm not sure whether it makes sense to go even further (Susvara and AB1266 are out of question, Sus because of being hard to drive and AB1266 because of form factor). And those Caldera might very well be close to being considered a super-flagship itself... Anyway great review as always, you actually persuaded me to try these ones out - I was on the fence about them from various reviews and comparisons for a very long time but you tipped the scales over for me :-)
Focal utopia, lcd5 binom er stax 9000 though this one you’ll see in the review. I don’t think it’s complete, it has issues, but yes to make a simple set up, most likely. Bravura now this latter one is exceptional, minimalistic and extraordinary for the price to performance ratio.
@@ConvinceMeAudioThanks for the list - I intentionally left out electrostat systems like Orpheus, HE-1, Bravura or Shangri-La, I know they are amazing but also a bit limiting if you already own decent chain already. I've been playing with an idea of owning Susvara's for some time, there are a lot of them on secondary market but I've been always put off by how difficult they are to drive properly. Now with Holo Bliss that might not be much of a problem anymore but still, from what I've heard Susvara is not kind to poor recordings, and I do enjoy occasional metal which is not known for the best recording/mastering quality. Perhaps Binom ER will check all the marks, need to rewatch your review of them 🙂
@@jan.tovarnak yes, SUS can grow with you and your chain, but definitely not fantastic for badly recorded music and with a bliss you don’t have any problems about drivability, In fact, I was talking to my telegram chat today about this that the entry point for SUS these days is getting easier and easier. I spent the last two hours running it off of the Diablo two, and this new AK desktop unit that has arrived, and they both do a decent enough job to enjoy the Headphones, obviously there are serious headroom to be had. I think anybody who is in this hobby and has got the means to have a collection of flagship Headphones SUS has to be there it’s a reference and a Benchmark That’s fair enough in regards to electrostatics, unless you jump up to a LTAZ 10 E which the review will be out soon, yes, that is an incredible amplifier and endgame for 98% of people Electrostatic, speakers, power ramp, pre-, Headphones planner, dynamics, IM, all in one box, driven, exponentially
I love this headphone, but I had to end up returning it because it couldn't be driven by my A&K Sp1000 DAP. I worried it wouldn't, and I was so heartbroken when it didn't. One day, when I can afford it, I might buy it just to be a closed back for my at home rig. I've had to stick with the Stellia for now, just because at least it can be driven properly by portable gear 😢. Would have loved a direct comparison between the two! To my ears, DCA has better tonality and a touch more resolution, but I was surprised at how well Stellia held its own!
Yes both Stellia and Liric all true closed back Headphones in every category, unfortunately stealth is very hard to drive you’re going to need. Hugo2 2go for portability, and that thing is not portable, my poor, luxury and precision P6, pro shat itself. But the scalability of stealth far exceeds the focal

@@ConvinceMeAudio I agree, but many people (and reviewers) talk about scalability as if it were something positive for a headphone though it really just means the headphone is hard to drive so it benefits of more powerful amps more than easy to drive headphones.

Atrium closed has already been reviewed just not released yet, not on the same calibre of technicality. TuneIn is very different to actual technical perform.
