‘HE1000 Unveiled sounds beautiful with all sources, it is flexible, can become a bit darker and a bit  brighter, as the tuning is agreeable and fun, you don’t need a specific source, if you have almost a watt of power on the tap, You’ll be fine with what you already have at home.

The soundstage expands more in all directions & planes that all of the previous HE1000 headphones, making the new HE1000 Unveiled exceptionally versatile and consistent.

The HIFIMAN Serenade is a very capable ‘do-it-all’ DAC/Amp with a warm tone and excellent staging qualities that make it an ideal, albeit somewhat relaxing, pairing with headphones known to deliver a big soundstage. The refined LAN audio service I might prefer over its USB audio equivalent.

There is enough headroom to drive demanding headphones with plenty of options for both balanced and unbalanced connections to the rear and the front. A sleek modern design profile makes it an attractive option for any moderately sized Hi-Fi rack.
