Reply to comment by PhoenixRisingtw in HIFIMAN Sundara + Fiio K7 - My recent introduction to planars has 100% lived up to the hype by DanforthJesus

Try both - sundaras are slightly warmer and edition xs leans slightly brighter + more resolving. I love the XS myself but I could see people making their case for either

I did try the XS and it was pretty amazing. I originally wanted to try Sumdara but they didn't have it. I guess it's better in all aspects?

My personal opinion is yes, the XS is better in every way - but I also don't like warm-sounding things, so don't take my word for it

XS is Sundara on steroids, the latter has no advantages.

The egg shaped HFM reign supreme within their ecosystem, up until finding a reason to buy Susvara. I can't find a reason to downgrade once you've experienced the XS, the bass response alone is in a completely different league.
