HiFiMan made the EF1000 for the Susvara which outputs 20W. So, they do think the Susvara needs power.

[@Thund3rstone]

Josh, I was not sure. I came from a DX5 with an Edition XS. That alone was an eye opener. Today I started first time out on HE1000 with EF400. This is ... wow. Got tears in my eyes. Cannot stop grinning. Thank you.

[@Smitty_Werbenjagermanjenson]

I got one of these a couple weeks ago and it slays. I'm shooting it out against a more expensive A90 + SU-8 combo, and I'm leaning towards the EF400.

[@soundsilove6123]

Hifiman EF400 vs Topping A90 thats the main quesion!

[@Leon-lg7zm]

What are those little metal circles underneath the Amp called?

[@dothewubwub]

What is the warranty like? Hifiman hasn't had the best quality control for headphones, so would be skeptical for components like this.

[@Aniki91PL]

Hi, thanks. What do you use for software on your macbook?

[@reallyoldcob]

does the pre-out work at the same time as the headphone output?

[@0d0d0d]

I have been loving this Dac/AMP combo! Really great stuff. Paid around $350 for new at my local audio store :D

[@CaptHotah]

Hi. Would you recommend this for the Sundaras? Thanks

[@michaelthompson9798]

Thanks for this review Josh, my man ✊🤯🥰. Love your work 😇💪👍

[@asan1050]

Thank you for the recommendations!

[@matthewhilty4209]

Interesting product. I do like that they are going after the smoother sound signature with the r2r implementation. Many Dac amps are harder and accurate sounding for Mixing/mastering so having a contrasting offering for leisure without going Tube amp is a nice alternative.

[@Armbrust210]

Oh, really cool, been waiting for this Review!

[@bradwebb6927]

The USB audio standard is USB 2, which is why it's atypical to see -C or 3-B. iFi managed to get it right in their ZEN Signature, but the actual chips for anything other than 2-B, explicitly for audio, are tough to get right and expensive. USB 2-B inputs are tried, true, solved and stable.

[@benlee1035]

CanJam Socal had these at the HiFiman booth. Paired nicely with the Sundara and XS.

[@PavlosPapageorgiou]

I bought an SMSL M500mk3 to drive my Edition XS, and it's great. But now I learned that this EF400 exists and I'm intrigued... I'd like to try a listen.

[@WorldView22]

Hi Joshua and congrats for your fast-growing channel. I have recently watched another comparative review of this unit and the reviewer found it to be somewhat inconsistent sonically between low and high impedance headphones, the latter being the lesser performer on this unit. Have you had the chance to try it with the likes of HD820/800S or similar, and what's your impression? Thanks

[@eruilluvitar]

Got to listen to this at CanJam - it sounded pretty damn good!

[@Starsunder81]

I own it with Arya V2s and i love the pairing :D
