About the EF1000DAC
The HiFiMAN Susvara Unveiled & EF1000 DAC Combo represents the pinnacle of audiophile audio, combining the revolutionary open-back Susvara Unveiled planar magnetic headphones with the extraordinarily powerful EF1000 hybrid tube DAC/headphone amplifier. The Susvara Unveiled features a fully open-back design without grilles to eliminate sound reflections, a nanometer-thickness diaphragm, Stealth Magnet asymmetrical circuit, and silver conductor layer for enhanced sensitivity and reduced impedance compared to the original Susvara. This allows for unprecedented detail, expansive soundstage, natural warmth, and dynamic range. The EF1000, purpose-built to drive the demanding Susvara, delivers massive power through its vacuum tube input stage (6x EHX 6922 tubes) and solid-state output, functioning also as a full integrated amplifier. Together, they provide pristine, high-resolution audio with exceptional clarity, imaging, and realism, ideal for critical listening.
