Abyss Diana TC Vs V2: End of the Road? 💸💸💸

My humble review of the Abyss Diana TC and comparisons with the Diana V2.

As mentioned in the video, I'm not a pro audio reviewer, just someone who likes headphones and uses them a lot for work. Audphiles take it easy on me.

The B Rolls are absolutely stunning bro ❤

I appreciate this straight forward review. Looking at thier website right now, the price difference is "only" $1, 000 between the two ($3, 500 versus $4, 500 with standard cable). I would probably go for the maximum information retrieval, perfectly flat tonal balance, and accuracy of the TC, although I can certainly see why a headphone that "makes everything sound good" as you comment in this review, yet is more detailed and beter controlled than almost any other headphone, has great appeal as well.

Great video. You got a sub and a thumbs up from me. FYI the pads on the TC are the new Ported Bass Pads. The notches on the side are what gives it away. Try those pads on the V2’s and the bass gets better 🤙🏼

Subscriber here! Awesome review and comparison with top notch B rolls and delivery of the information. Thank you!

I don’t need to sell my Diana V2 then. I needed this truly honest review to bring me back to reality from all the hype that other reviewers make.

Q: do the XI audio broadway is really a “game changer” for the V2? Or should I just be happy with my THX Dacamp?

I was curious about the super conductor as well but I would never buy a cable for $2000. Again, a Genelec 8331 is priced around the price of that cable and there is no way to justify it.

A sticker on the box! That’s so cheap. Actually, I bought the new pads at their expensive cost of $250 and I thought they were not well glued into the plastic/magnet. So, now I see the sticker and I guess I should not be surprised. I respect Abyss as a company and I enjoy the sound of the V2 but, those type of manufacturing behaviors are too low for an “American” company.

Thank you very much for this luxurious review! I hope you get many likes and subs!

was the upgrade noticeable going from the a90 to the broadway?

Great review! This is the review I have been waiting for (Abyss Diana V2 vs Diana TC). I’m somewhat of a treble head. I was wondering if the Diana TC has more sparkle than the Diana V2. I currently own the Diana V2. Lately I have been considering selling the V2 because the treble seems slightly rolled off. Another thing that bothers me about the V2 is sometimes the midrange sounds kind of wonky. I think around the 1K region. Just wondering if the TC mids also sound kind of wonky.

You can port the bottom by using double sided foam 3m stickers.

My DTC came with a gray carrying case lmao

nice video...can a Hugo2 be able to drive the v2 and Tc? thanks

TC has scooped out mids and sound thin my focal clear mids sounds better for $1000 Abyss dropped the ball on this one
